Mini-assessment: Real or Unreal Conditional? ( 10 minutes)
This is a simple recall activity that can be completed individually or in pairs. A list of examples of sentences with conditionals needs to be cut into pieces; teachers can print out the answer page beforehand to prepare. Students are given the task to piece it back together.
Instructions: A) Match the if-clause with the main clause. B) Read the sentence. C) State which of them are unreal conditions. Then check youranswers.
Notice: Two of the sentence are NOT unreal conditions, in that they express something that is more likely to happen.
