This unit was about conditional and reported tense. While not the most important language point, it still causes students confusion. Five forms of the conditional are described in the unit and each form has a particular pattern and usage. The first form is the zero conditional where the consequence of the condition is something that is true and factual. The first conditional is used when talking about a real situation in the future that is possible to occur. The present simple and ‘will’ is used along with ‘if.’ The second conditional is used to talk about a hypothetical situation in the present or future that is to never come through.it uses ‘if,’ the past perfect, ‘would, could or might,’ ‘have’ and the base form of the verb. The third conditional uses the following pattern similar to the second except instead of using the verb form, it uses the past participle. And is used in situations that refer to a made up past action or non-action producing a similar consequence. The final conditional is a mixture of a second and third conditional clause and can be confused by students for the third conditional. Using the pattern of ‘if ‘, the past perfect, ‘would’ and the base form. When the unit refers to the reported tense, it describes what the direct and reported speeches are through examples. The reported speech is conveying what was said at a given time but not word for word thus the subject and corresponding verb changes. Question marks and double quotation marks are also absent when it is written.
