| LESSON OVERVIEW
This lesson plan deals with mixed conditionals and is prepared for Business English learners. It introduces the rules concerning this grammar point and makes students practise it through various activities.
RULES & PRACTICE
The worksheet starts with a short discussion about projects. The idea of the worksheet is to show a real-life situation when mixed conditionals might be naturally used. We chose a final project meeting as a situation which presents the use of such structures.
First, students discuss a few questions and then they read a short dialogue. While reading, they need to underline all conditional sentences. Next, they study a table with the sentences and have to choose the correct words (present or past) in the rules section. Make sure that your students understand how to use mixed conditionals and build sentences with them. To practise, students move to another exercise and complete some sentences with the correct form of the given verbs.
SPEAKING
The speaking part consists of two tasks. First, students need to rephrase a few sentences using mixed conditionals. There is an example which should help them understand what they need to do. In the next task, you give your students cards with sentence beginnings. Students have to choose one, finish the sentence so that it is a mixed conditional sentence and continue the story by giving two or three more sentences. Then, they choose another card and repeat the process.

Exercise 5 doesn’t have the key (in the teacher’s version).
Oh, that’s because it’s a free exercise so the answers will vary and depend on students imagination. We didn’t want to add possible answers here not to limit anyone.
Hello Great lesson.
Just to let you know.
exercise 5 doesn’t have an answer key.

Thanks 🙂 As mentioned in the comment above, we think it’s a free exercise so the answers may vary there.

it used to be available for free, now it’s paid, what’s your policy for changing the availability of resources ?
Hi! We made some changes to the ESL Brains free library in April to make sure that it accurately represents our content and the types of lessons we create. In the free library, you will now find a balanced number of lessons for each level, as well as for each of our lesson categories: General, Business, Technology, Grammar, Lifestyle, Global issues. Moreover, each of the free lesson plans includes free access to the e-lesson plan format to be used with online students. Previously, only two e-lesson plans were available for free users. We hope the new selection of free lesson plans and access to more e-lesson plans will help teachers make a better use of ESL Brains free lesson plans.
