Greeting the Students

T: Good morning class!

S: Good morning teacher.

on weekend and I really enjoyed at picnic with my friends. What did you do this weekend?

S: I visited my grandmother.

S: I did shopping with my mom.

Page 3: How to teach Grammar  /Lesson plan

Transition

T:Ok, then let’s start the lesson! Today, we have a guest. Do you want to meet her?

S: Yes , we want to meet the guest so much.

PRESENTATION

Creating the context

(The teacher shows the first picture)

T: This is Elena. She is a pretty girl , isn’t she?

S: Yes.

T: What is she doing?

S: She is studying her lessons.

T: Yes , my class. What do you think about her mood?

S: She is bored.

Page 4: How to teach Grammar  /Lesson plan

S: She is thinking.

T: Yes, she is thinking about anything else instead of her lessons. Because Elena wants to go

outside with her friends. ( Teacher shows the second picture)

And this is Mrs. White. She is the mother of Elena and she also wants her daughter to study

her lessons. So, she doesn’t let her go outside.

( Clarifying the meaning)

T: Now Elena think that she can do other things instead of studying now. She doesn’t want to

study. Also, she doesn’t go outside. She wants it now , right?

S: Yes , teacher. Elena wants to do something else now. But she is studying her lessons.

T: So, we can say that she wants something that is unreal. She dreams a situation that has a

possibility to happen right now. But it doesn’t happen. She wants to express her unreal

demands.

Page 5: How to teach Grammar  /Lesson plan

(Checking Understanding)

T: So, What is Elena doing right now?

S: Elena is studying her lessons but she doesn’t want to study.

T: What she wants to do in real?

S: She wants to go outside but her mother doesn’t let her go. Elena has a demand. But it

doesn’t happen right now.

(Clarifying Meaning)

T: Really good, thank you honey. We can say that in a different situation, her demand can be

real. But now it can’t be real. Then think that you are Elena, how can you express your

demand?

S: I can say that I don’t want to study now. I will go outside instead of studying.

(Clarifying the form)

T: Ok , well done. But we have a grammatical form for expressing present unreal events. Do

you have a guess about this form?

S: ….

T: Ok , let’s see how Elena express ideas right now. Elena thinks that

‘’ If I finished studying my lessons , my mother would let me go outside.’’

Page 6: How to teach Grammar  /Lesson plan

‘’ If I were my mother , I would let me go outside. ‘’

‘’ If I went outside , I wouldn’t be bored.’’

‘’ If my mother didn’t force me to study, I would be outside now.’’

’’ If I didn’t have to study my lessons, I could go outside with my friends. ‘’

T: Now , repeat after me please.

T: If I finished studying my lessons

S: If I finished studying my lessons

T: My mother would let me go outside.

S: My mother would let me go outside.

T: If I were my mother

T: If I were my mother

T: I would let me go outside

S: I would let me go outside

T: If I went outside

S: If I went outside

T: I wouldn’t be bored

S: I wouldn’t be bored.

T: If my mother didn’t force me to study

Page 7: How to teach Grammar  /Lesson plan

S: If my mother didn’t force me to study

T: I would be outside now

S: I would be outside now

T: If I didn’t have to study my lessons

S: If I didn’t have to study my lessons

T: I could go outside with my friends

S: I could go outside with my friends

T: Very well my class. (Teacher writes the sentences on the board, highlights the target

grammar structure) (Teacher writes the name of the form – If Clause – Type 2-- on the board

above the examples.)

T: You can copy the sentences to your notebooks, I am giving three minutes for you.

(Checking Understanding)

T: So, how many clauses are needed to compose the unreal conditional?

S: We need two clauses to form the present unreal conditional.

T: Yes , How do we compose the first sentence?

S: First , we start with ‘’if-clause’’

T: Ok , Which tense is used in ‘’if clause’’?

S: Simple Past Tense

T: Perfect. How do we compose the main clause?

S: The main clause is made by ‘’would’’ , ‘’wouldn’t’’

T: Very well

S: Something is wrong in the example teacher, you write ‘’I were my mother’’ It should be ‘’If I was my mother’’

Page 8: How to teach Grammar  /Lesson plan

T: You catch an important point Murat. Do you think that it is wrong?

S: Yes teacher , we learned it in simple past tense.

T: Good. There is one exception in this form. The verb ‘’be’’ takes ‘’were’’ for all persons.( Teacher repeats the sentence two times)

T: Can you explain what I said Gizem?

S: In if clause-type 2, we use ‘’were’’ for all persons. It is an exception.

T: Thank you Gizem. (Teacher writes the rules of the grammar pattern briefly for making the form clear)

Checking Understanding of Meaning and Form

T: So, Do we use the present unreal conditional to express a present condition?

S: Yes.

T: Why do we call ‘’unreal’’ to this form?

S: Because it tells us what would happen if the situation were different.

T: Perfect, thank you.

T: Can I use simple present tense in Elena’s examples?

S: No , we should use simple past tense.

T: Why?

S: It is the rule. Because it in not unreal with simple present tense.

T: It’s true. Well done. Do we have to use simple past tense in if clause?

S: Yesss

T: Do we use ‘’would’’ and ‘’wouldn’t ‘’ in main clause?

S: Yesss.

Transition

T: Congratulations, you get the idea I think. Let’s work on the structure a little more.
