The lesson focuses on conditionals, specifically the four types: Zero, First, Second, and Third Conditionals. Students are tasked with writing their own conditional sentences based on colored papers found under their chairs, followed by feedback on their grammatical accuracy. The teacher emphasizes the correct structures and common mistakes associated with each type of conditional.

TEACHER:

Good morning, students! Before we start our lesson, I have a question for you:

"What would you do if you won the lottery?"

(Students respond.)

TEACHER:
Alright, all of your answers are interesting!

Now, that question introduces a real-life use of conditionals. Are you familiar with conditionals, or have
you tackled this topic before?

STUDENTS:
Yes, ma’am!

TEACHER:
Great! Today, our topic is conditionals. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to (state your lesson
objectives clearly).

Lesson Objective:
 Identify the four types of conditionals and their correct grammatical structures.
 Write a grammatically correct conditional sentence on the board.
 Demonstrate confidence in constructing and correcting conditional sentences.

First, let’s define what a conditional is.

Conditional sentences are statements discussing known factors or


hypothetical situations and their consequences. They contain a dependent
clause (the condition) and an independent clause (the result)."
— Azar, B. S. & Hagen, S. A. (2016). Understanding and Using English Grammar
(5th ed.). Pearson Education.

(EXPLANATION: Conditional sentences express situations and their possible


outcomes. They consist of two parts: a dependent clause (the condition) and an
independent clause (the result). The condition states what must happen first, while
the result explains the consequence.)

There are four types of conditionals.

1. Zero Conditional
 This expresses real conditions where the result is always the same.
 The structure is: "If + present simple, present simple."

Example:
"If a novel is well-written, it captivates readers effortlessly."
(A well-written novel always has this effect—it naturally captures the reader’s attention.)

Do you understand this?

(Wait for student responses.)

Teacher:
"We’ve learned about the four types of conditionals. Now, I want you to write your own sentences!"
everyone, look under your chair! I placed something there. If you find a purple paper, you will write a Zero
Conditional. If you have a green one, you will write a First Conditional. If you have a pink one, you will
write a Second Conditional. If you have a red one, you will write a Third Conditional."

"I will give you 3 minutes to think and write your sentence. Then, you will come up and write it on the
board."

✅ Correct Answers:
👦 Student 1 (Zero Conditional): "If you don’t water plants, they die."
❌ Student 2 (Zero Conditional – Wrong): "If you will mix red and yellow, you get orange."

👦 Student 3 (First Conditional): "If I eat too much, I will feel sick."
👩 Student 4 (First Conditional): "If she studies, she will pass the exam."

❌ Student 5 (Second Conditional – Wrong): "If I was a cat, I will sleep all day."
✅ Student 6 (Second Conditional – Correct): "If I had a time machine, I would visit the future."

👦 Student 7 (Third Conditional): "If I had woken up early, I wouldn’t have been late."
❌ Student 8 (Third Conditional – Wrong): "If they practiced more, they would win the game."

TEACHER: Giving Feedback (5 Minutes)

✅ Teacher checks each sentence and gives feedback:

1️⃣Zero Conditional (Student 2 – Wrong)

📝 Student’s Answer: "If you will mix red and yellow, you get orange."
❌ Mistake: "Will" is not used in Zero Conditional.
✅ Correct Sentence: "If you mix red and yellow, you get orange."
Teacher: "Good idea! But remember, Zero Conditional talks about facts, so both parts should be in the
Present Simple. Just remove ‘will’!"

2️⃣Second Conditional (Student 5 – Wrong)

📝 Student’s Answer: "If I was a cat, I will sleep all day."


❌ Mistake 1: "was" → Should be "were" (formal grammar rule).
❌ Mistake 2: "will sleep" → Should be "would sleep" (Second Conditional uses 'would').
✅ Correct Sentence: "If I were a cat, I would sleep all day."
Teacher: "Nice idea! But when we talk about imaginary situations, we use ‘were’ instead of ‘was.’ Also,
we use ‘would,’ not ‘will,’ in the second part. So the correct sentence is: ‘If I were a cat, I would sleep all
day.’"

3️⃣Third Conditional (Student 8 – Wrong)

📝 Student’s Answer: "If they practiced more, they would win the game."
❌ Mistake: This is not a Third Conditional sentence. It looks like a First or Second Conditional.
✅ Correct Sentence: "If they had practiced more, they would have won the game."
Teacher: "Good effort! But Third Conditional talks about past situations that cannot be changed. We need
‘had + past participle’ in the ‘if’ clause and ‘would have + past participle’ in the second clause. So the
correct sentence is: ‘If they had practiced more, they would have won the game.’"
