A selection of English ESL conditional 2 (second conditional) - would printables

This worksheet is about Would like structure. It helps students to memorise Would like/would like to expressions. So that I propose an excercise in which they can practice this structure more times and use it with creativity to explain desires based on different situations.

 Would like - excercise

Worksheet dor level A2 to B1. The students have to complete the sentences with what they would do and what they wouldn't do in the given situation using Conditional.

Nickelback - If Everyone Cared

Lesson plan for a class of Senior High School students in Japan, First Grade, Low Academic Level (but high enthusiasm!). 40 students aged 15



LEAD-IN

We start off brain storming the problems that you might have if you crashed on an island. I only elicit one or two answers before moving on to watch the trailer for CastAway (included in the Power Point). While they watch this, they add more ideas to the bubble on their worksheet and then discuss with a partner. * FEEDBACK: I usually get them to answer a full sentence in feedback `There are . . . .on the island` (no phones, no people, no boats) etc.



MATCHING

Beforehand, I explain the grammar form briefly and point out that the different colours in the sentences indicate past and infinitive forms of a word, and CCQ `Is this real/true or imaginary?` for meaning.

FEEDBACK - you can use the Power Point for this to reveal the answers. When they feedback, I get students to flip sentence halves around to highlight that the clauses can work both ways.

eg. `If I waswere cold, I would make a fire` and 

`I would make a fire if I was/were cold` etc.



WRITING AND SPEAKING

They then answer the four questions in the boxes, writing their own answers first (I explain `I would` and `I`d` and drill pronunciation a little). Then they walk around and ask each other the question with the approach `Can I ask you a question?`.



WRITING GAME

Finally in groups of 4, they answer two questions cards each (writing on separate pieces of paper), then jumble them up on their table. They then move to another table and try to match together the questions and answers of the other team. 



*Here I should really add a `gist` activity with simple questions like `Does the film have a happy or sad ending` etc. I sometimes just ask them afterwards to confirm their understanding.

Second Conditional, CastAway Movie Trailer 

I especially like to ask the first questions, asking them why they'd choose those three apps. Sometimes we get to know some cool apps out of it. Still, there are some questions are meant for adults only. 

What would you do??

This is an exercise on the if rule. It is based on the second conditional. Students need to have learned the correct formation of the first and second conditional and what the significance of the second conditional is.

Second Conditional Practice

Just some pictures I found to help students ask 2nd conditional questions to each other - e.g. What would you do if you found someone's wallet in the street? or If you could travel in time, would you go into the past or the future? A good warmup is to just let the students create any questions from the pictures and ask each other, then guide them towards forming 2nd conditional questions specifically.
