Unit 16 talks about conditionals and reported speec.
Conditionals are statements that refer to past, present, and future possibilitie.
There are five main types of conditionals which are zero, first, second, third, and mixed conditiona.
The zero conditional deals with actions that are irrefutable by using \"if\" or \"when\" with no change in the meanin.
The first conditional is used for a 'real' situation in the future that may be possible once the condition has been satisfie.
The second conditional type is used for hypothetical situations that are not true and have a slim chance of being tru.
The third conditional deals with a hypothetical past action matched with a hypothetical resul.
As for mixed conditional this is a mixture of a second and a third conditional clause that alludes to a hypothetical past action or state and a hypothetical present consequenc.
These clauses can be quite confusing for students to lear.
Because of this it would be favorable to have creative ways for the students to practice using the conditional clauses so they can learn to differentiate the.
This can be done by giving them conditional sentences to complete, have students take turn finishing conditional statements for each other, create split sentences for them to match up, and give them conditional questions to discus.
For example, \"what if?\" questions would suffic.
After the conditional portion of the unit there was information about reported and direct speec.
This language skill would be taught to students so they could tell a third person about their conversation with someone els.
For example, this language can be used in a situation where someone would tell their roommate when their other roommate would return home from a vacation after speaking to the.
The statement could be, \"Ava said she would be home tomorrow evenin.
\" There are rules of how to change direct speech to reported speech and the table provided in the unit shows it in a clear and concise manne.
The table's set-up is excellent to use to teach to student.
