Notes for teachers

Start by contrasting two sentences on the board, such as 'If I have time, I'll call you' and 'If I had time, I'd call you', and ask which situation is more likely. Typical mistakes are putting will or would in the if-clause ('If it will rain…') and mixing tenses ('If I had a car, I will…'). Remind students that 'If I were you' is the standard form for giving advice. As a follow-up, students can write five 'What would you do if…?' questions and interview a partner.
