A selection of English ESL all conditional printables

Worksheet with first and second conditional. The students have to figure out which conditional goes into which sentence. There are also variations on the classic conditional sentences (imperatives, can, could).

It's all conditional

Handout for students to practice buidling first, second and third conditionals. For the majority of the sentences in this handout there is more than one answer. 

Answer key is included. 

I like to do this as a group activity for 1-10, giving students chance to fill the blanks and then compare answers. Generally I set the rest as homework. 

All conditionals - first, second, third. 

Defeat Chuck and answer all conditionals correctly! Review the correct formation of the conditionals before completing the worksheet. You know you can. There is a black and white version and an answer key.

Please up-vote if you like this.  This table shows the use of modal and semi-modal verbs.  The different uses follow a colour scheme, in order for students to pick out similar uses more quickly.

TABLE OF MODALS AND ASSOCIATED VERBS

This activity has 3 different scenarios and is meant to be used as practice after a grammar lesson on the language of negotiation (conditionals, modals, etc..).  It is best done in groups of three and is perfect for small group Business English practice.  The same student should be A, B, or C throughout the scenarios to give each student a chance to be in the hot seat! 

Negotiation Roleplay

This test is all about the environment (the state of our planet and ways to preserve it) and includes several tasks: reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and w writing assignment. Key is provided.

Our environment (B1/B2 Test)

Students learn/practice 1rst conditional with Murphy´s Law. It is lots of fun and students can also make their own laws based on their personal experiences. Cut out the cards and give them to students in pairs, or teams. Ask them to match the cards and set a time limit. To make the activity less time-consuming I have made the first halves green and the second halves pink. You can do this as a match. The first pair/team to match all the cards wins. When they´re finished you can ask them to talk about their most favorite ones, share their personal experiences or make new laws. Have fun!!! :)

1rst Conditional with Murphy's Law

This is a grammar worksheet on conditionals 1, 2 and 3. All the sentences are related to the environment. I hope it might be useful for you and your students. 

Conditionals

This is a very helpful ESL worksheet for students to practise all types of conditionals in different tasks (multiple-choice, gap-filling, and sentence-building). There are 3 tasks starting from an easy one to a more challenging. It can be used as a grammar practise/ revision or as a test. Answer-key is included.

Mixed Conditionals

Objective: Talk about superstitons in your country and all over the world, learn about some strange beliefs and about conditional type 1. 



LESSON PLAN



First introduce the topic by asking students if they know what a superstition is - for example by asking them if they know what happens if they see a black cat (this is the most common one out there). 

Write down the sentence on the blackboard/piece of paper: 

If I see a black cat, I will have bad luck.

Ask them if they know the structure. Explain how to create sentences and when you use it, give several examples. Ask them to create their own examples.



Do the next exercises:

matching - please notice the changes according to the person (if girl DRINKS, but she WILL)

filling in the gaps

creating sentences - you need to make changes to create the sentences;



Ask your students to work in pairs and talk about their own experiences with superstitions, encourage them to tell what kinds of supersitions are popular in their homes and countries, and elicit conditional 1.
