something great if you do not have the urge to try.
Very good! That is a good explanation.

So class, what are your “what ifs” in life?

Yes, Jim.
What if I strive harder, will it make my parents proud?

IV. FIRM-UP
VIII. DISCUSSION PROPER:

Our lesson for today is all about conditional sentences.

Who can read the meaning of conditional sentences?

Conditional sentences express actions that can only take
place if a condition is fulfilled. They are also called “if
clauses” because they are consist of an “if clause” which is
an independent clause and a main clause.
For example:
If I didn’t eat, I will be hungry.
If I take a bath, I will get wet.
Who can give your own example?
If I cut myself, I will get hurt.
There are different types of conditional. The first one is the
zero degree conditional. It is used when the situation is real
and possible. It is often used to refer to general truths or
facts and uses to present tense in both part of the sentences.
Example:
*If I study hard, I get good grades.

It refers to a general truth wherein if you really study hard

the cause will be you’re going to have good grades.

Another examples:
If we become friends, we get to know each other.

Now, who can give their own example?

If you didn’t watch news, you’re not informed about the

latest.
If it rains, the grass gets wet.
Let us now tackle the first degree conditional, it is used to
refer a possible condition and probable result. It was the
simple present tense in the “if clause” and simple future
tense for the main clause.

Example:
If I eat chocolates, I will have toothache.

Another example:
If I study hard, I will pass the exam.

Who can give your own example?

If it rains, the picnic will be cancelled.
If I fall asleep in class, my teacher will be angry.
If I get promoted, I will throw a party.
Did you get it class?
Yes, Ma’am.

V. APPLICATION
Since you don’t have questions, you are going to have an
activity. I will grouping you into two. Each of you will think
of a song that has “conditionals” or “if-clause”.
For example, “if I were a boy, I think I could understand.”
It goes like this, the first group will think of a song with
conditionals and sing it. Then, the second group will answer
it by a song with an “if-clause” also. You will be given five
seconds to answer. Each answer or song corresponds to one
point. If the other group will not be able to sing a song in
five minutes the point will be given to the other group.
Did you understand the instruction?
Yes, Ma’am.
Okay, let’s start.
Group 1.
If I were a boy, I think I could understand.

Group 2.
If you could see what I see,
You’re the answer to my prayer.

VI. GENERALIZATION

dependent clause and independent clause.

What about zero degree conditionals? When is it used?

Very good. What is the tense used in zero degree
conditionals?

What about the first degree conditionals? When is it used?
First degree conditionals is used to refer a possible
condition and probable result.
