This page is for the teacher only. I put it so you can see what I had in mind. With very
advanced students, I use only the picture, without the indications. They have to make
up the whole sentences. With intermediat students, I tell if they have to use 2 o or 3d
conditional.

Answer – only an idea,

If I were sick, I could stay at home
If I lived in a small village, I wouldn’t have to face the traffic every day
If I had a helicopter, I could get to work quickly..
If I had taken the underground, I would allready be at work.
If I were a lifeguard, I could live near the beach.
If I had got up earlier, I would have avoided the traffic jam.
If I were the boss, I could go to work later.
If I were rich, I wouldn’t have to work.
