Listening for detail task in which students must identify and write down the verbs used for certain sentences, which gives them isolated examples from the audio in which the second conditional is exemplified. Individual work followed by checking in pairs and OCFB.

Clarification (8-11 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Through CCQs, confirm if students understand the context in which the second conditional is used. Explain the syntactic elements of second conditional sentences.

Students are given three half-sentences to complete creatively using the structure of the second conditional. The work individually for four minutes and then check in pairs for five minutes, before OCFB.
