THE
FIRST
CONDITIONAL DEALS WITH STUFF THAT CAN ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. LET'S PREDICT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WITH J. K. ROWLING IN THE FUTURE. FILL IN THE BLANKS WITH THE MOST SUITABLE VERB FORMS FOR THE FIRST CONDITIONAL.
1. Some people think that if J. K. Rowling stops writing Harry Potter books , she
(lose) all her money.
2. Some believe that if she writes more Harry Potter books, they
(not be) such a huge success.
3. Some will say that she will definitely become boring is she
(keep) writing only Harry Potter stories.
4. There are those who believe her family will go crazy if she
(write) another book about Potter.
5. If she does decide to continue writing, people
(be) interested, that's for sure.
6. Some critics think nobody
(take) her seriously if she starts writing books for adults.
7. Even if she never writes anything more in her life, she
(have) Harry to be proud of forever.
LET'S PRETEND WE ARE PART OF THE STORY. IF WE WERE, WHAT WOULD WE DO? USE THE
SECOND
CONDITIONAL TO GUIDE YOU. HERE ARE SOME POSSIBLE ANSWERS, BUT EACH OF THEM CONTAINS A MISTAKE. TRY TO FIND IT AND WRITE THE CORRECT WORD IN THE BOX.
1. If I studies at Hogwarts, I would definitely take Defence against the Dark Arts.
2. If I owned a magic broom, I will fly all around the world.
3. If I had the Invisibility Cloak, I would sneaked into Dumbledore's room.
4. If my friends visited me there, I woudl take them for a walk to the Forbidden Forest.
5. If my parents somehow learnt that I was at Hogwarts, they would definitely thinks I was crazy.
6. If I saw Harry Potter, I would screamed with excitement.
7. If Professor McGonagall were my teacher, she will probably be angry with me for being late.
NOW WE ARE GOING TO GUESS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE STORY, IF SOME THINGS HAD TAKEN ON A DIFFERENT TURN. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS USING THE GIVEN WORDS AS SHOWN IN THE EXAMPLE. ADD WHAT YOU NEED. THE TASK IS PREPARED FOR THE
THIRD
CONDITIONAL.

THE FINAL TASK IS A GAME YOU CAN PLAY WITH A FRIEND, YOUR TEACHER OR SIMPLY TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF. IT WILL NOT EARN YOU POINTS IN THIS TASK, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY USEFUL AND FUN TO DO. WATCH AN INTERVIEW WITH EMMA WATSON (Hermione) AND TRY TO SPOT WHICH CONDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SHE GETS. TRY TO IDENTIFY THEIR TYPE AND SAY, WRITE OR JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD ANSWER TO THOSE QUESTIONS. HAVE FUN!
