    THIRD CONDITIONAL FORMS

    We can use the Third Conditional to talk about 'impossible' conditions, impossible because they are in the past and we cannot change what has happened: If I had worked harder at school, I would have got better grades.

    Notice that the main clause can contain 'would', 'could' or 'might: If I had seen him at the meeting, I would have asked him. (But he wasn't there so I didn't.)

    Also notice that sometimes the 'if clause' is implied rather than spoken:
    I'd have done it. ("if you had asked me but you didn't.")
    I wouldn't have said that. ("if I'd been there.")

    MODAL VERBS

    A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to.
    Modals are special verbs which behave very irregularly in English. In this post you will find the modal explanations and complete the associated exercises and take another step toward English fluency.

    ZERO CONDITIONAL

    We use the zero conditional when the result of the condition is always true, like a scientific fact.
    Notice that we are thinking about a result that is always true for this condition. The result of the condition is an absolute certainty. We are not thinking about the future or the past, or even the present. We are thinking about a simple fact. We use the Present Simple tense to talk about the condition. We also use the Present Simple tense to talk about the result. The important thing about the zero conditional is that the condition always has the same result.

    FUTURE TENSE

    There are several different ways in English that you can talk about the future. This page is an introduction to the most important ones.

    Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

    As I stated in class, in this post you can find the activities you have to do for homework. The first with the sentences you have to make up and the second a fill-in-the-gaps exercise.

    SPELLING BEE

    This game is very simple and easy to play. You just look at the image or listen to the audio and then spell the word. You can spell the word by clicking on the letters on the screen.
    You first select the vocabulary items that you want to practice spelling. Then you are show images in turn and have to spell each one. The faster you spell each item the more score you can accumulate. The game ends when the time runs out.
    The idea is that by spelling words again and again very quickly you can become a better speller while also having fun playing a game. If you click the wrong letter then you don’t lose you can just try another one until you get it right. In this way there is a little bit of trial and error in learning to spell words that you don’t know.
