T will give them an example and they are going to read the cards and repeat them in order to work on pronunciation and form. T will ask how about you? what would have happened if you had known it was your friends' birthday? T will give students sentences and they will see if they are true for them if not they are going to make it true for themselves. If I had seen you yesterday, I would have said hello. If I had got up late this morning, I wouldn't have arrived on time for the class. If I had told him/her the truth, I wouldn't have had any problem. If I had started English earlier, I would have spoken like native speakers.
