THIRD CONDITIONAL

Procedure
1. Tell the students about why you decided to become a teacher, and about another
possibility you had at that time.

For example:
‘I decided to become an English teacher when I was 25, because I wanted to be able
to travel around the world and work at the same time. If I hadn’t become an English
teacher, I would have moved to London.’

2. Tell the students that this was a third conditional sentence and ask them how it is
formed by putting prompts on the board:

If / I / not / become / teacher / move / London

After they have given you some ideas, write the full sentence:

If I had not become a teacher, I would have moved to London.

Elicit the form:

If + had + past participle …., would + have + past participle
If she had studied, she would have passed the exam
Si ella hubiera estudiado ella habria (habrian) pasado el examen

Use: hablaos de timeimpo pasado, eventos pasados que pidieron haber sido diferentes
