Notes for teachers

Use this test after teaching both conditionals, or as a review before moving on to the third conditional. It targets typical B1 errors such as using 'will' or 'would' in the if-clause, mixing tenses between clauses and misusing 'unless' with a negative. As a follow-up, ask students to rewrite the incorrect options as correct sentences, or to write their own real and imaginary 'if' sentences about their week.
