This unit discussed the five forms of conditionals that exist in English: zero (for obvious facts), first (for possible events in the future that could occur if a condition is satisfied), second (for unlikely occurrences),third (for hypothetical conditionals that could have occurred in the past but are impossible now), and mixed conditionals (past hypothetical with a present consequence). Conditionals require students to be comfortable with various verb tenses, and thus the teacher should ensure that students have a good idea of how to conjugate and use verbs correctly before teaching conditionals. Conditionals are best taught through the use of stories and made-up scenarios employing phrases like "What if...?"
Reported speech was the other material covered in this lesson. Much like with conditionals, students need to have a good idea of how verbs are conjugated and how the various tenses work in sentences. Teaching students how to correctly change words such as "today," "tomorrow," etc. is also key. Having students memorize various forms of reported verbs and having them utilize them in examples is likely the best approach for this topic.
