HELPING LEARNERS USE CHUNKS COMMUNICATIVELY

Thanks for this. It's great! I don't think number 10 sounds natural though. We don't normally use 'should' in the 2nd conditional. To use 'should', you'd need to use the first conditional, 'If you want the scrambled eggs drier, you should cook them for longer', or to use the second conditional say 'have to' or 'need to', 'if you wanted the scrambled eggs drier, you would have to cook them for longer'.
