This video quiz was created with the Autoquiz creator, that uses the human-created subtitles of the video to generate a quiz in the topic of your choice. I selected the topic of "Conditionals 0, 1, 2, 3 (mixed conditionals)" for this quiz. 

There are 6 multiple choice and gapfill questions that focus students' attention to the form of the different conditional structures.

I pimped up a bit the original quiz the Autoquiz creator generated for me: I changed some of the gapfill types into multiple choice questions, and I added the infinitives of the gapped verbs in the gapfill tasks.

To make the task more challenging, I've delayed each of the questions by a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade so they need to rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.

The explanation tells students about which conditional structure they have just seen, so this quiz can also be used in self-study mode.

As a follow-up task, you can have students match the causes with their various consequences. I am using only Conditional 2 in the sentences, but I am also providing Conditional 3 versions for CAUSE No.2 if you wish to include that, too, in your exercise. This will also be a great opportunity to practice verbs of results (cause, lead to, result in, entail, ensue).


CAUSE NO.1 
If an astronaut took off his or her helmet up there, ... 

CONSEQUENCES
1. The experience would be the same as being in a near vacuum.
2. Their eyeballs would not pop, but the experience would be uncomfortable.
3. They would pass out and die of oxygen deprivation.


CAUSE NO.2
If a giant moon formed now for whatever reason, ...

CONSEQUENCES
1. It would entail massive tsunamis.
2. It would result in earthquakes.
3. Lots of increased volcanic activity would ensue.
4. The downside to that would be mass extinction on Earth.
5. Earth would be brighter leading to different kinds of animal species that have adjusted to the new Earth.
6. As a result, high and low tides would measure differences of thousands of feet, so any humans left would not live near the coast.
7. As a consequence, we would have another mass extinction due to moon debris.


CAUSE NO.3
If the moon would be somehow obliterated, ...

CONSEQUENCES
1. All the debris would litter down on Earth from whatever caused the destruction of the Moon. This would wipe out areas of the Earth.
2. We'd also be a lot more vulnerable to other objects that used to hit our Moon that would now hit us.
3. There would be solar tides, but the water would be rather still.
4. Much of water-based life would die because it would not receive the nutrients it received when the moon was moving the water around.
5. We would have shorter days because the Earth would spin faster.
6. As a result, we would have many more storms and much faster winds.


--------------------------------------------------

CAUSE NO.2 (ALTERNATIVE: CONDITIONAL 3)
What would have happened if a giant moon had formed after life had already formed on Earth.

CONSEQUENCES
1. It would have entailed massive tsunamis.
2. It would have resulted in earthquakes.
3. Lots of increased volcanic activity would have ensued.
4. The downside to that would have been mass extinction on Earth.
5. Earth would have been brighter leading to different kinds of animal species that had adjusted to the new Earth.
6. As a result, high and low tides would have measured differences of thousands of feet, so any humans left would not have lived near the coast.
7. As a consequence, we would have had another mass extinction due to moon debris.


This video poses the questions: What if the moon had a moon? How would that affect the Earth or the universe?
