In this unit I learned about conditionals. These are sentences containing 'if' (or similar expressions such as 'when') which refer to past, present, and future possibilities. The five main conditionals are zero conditional, which refers to actions and facts that are irrefutable. Then there is first conditional, which refers to 'real' situations in the future that are possible, probable or even certain, once the condition has been satisfied. Second conditional communicates a present or future 'unreal', hypothetical situation that is presently not true and is unlikely ever to be true. Third conditional refers to a hypothetical past action (or non-action) and the hypothetical past consequence/result. The mixed conditional refers to a hypothetical past action or state, and the hypothetical present consequence. I learned about the typical mistakes/errors that arise with students from the usage of these conditional tenses. I learned different teaching ideas that can be utilized with the conditionals, such as split sentences, complete the conditional sentences, chain conditionals, what a question!, nuclear bunker role play, and what would happen if...?. Then, I learned about reported speech and direct speech. I then completed an exercise where I 'reported' different verb tenses to see how the verbs would change. I also learned about different pronouns and how the pronoun denoting who is spoken to can change depending on the context of the sentence. I also learned about time expressions and how they might change within conditional sentences. A couple of teaching ideas for reported and direct speech are intermediaries, reporting verbs, and media interviews.
