PART TWO: INTRODUCTION

I The reason for choosing the subject :General modern foreign languages,

especially English has been and will be a basic cultural subjects in the general education program In high school English program, Conditional Sentences are one

of the major grammars in the exams However, the majority of students have difficulty in using conditional sentences

So I boldly give some forms of conditional sentences to help students recognize more easily and achieve good results in exams

II Research purposes

Conditionals included in the curriculum in grades 10,11 and 12 with other forms of exercises will give different ways.I will give the ways to recognize and practice them in the most effective post

III Research persons.

Persons I have chosen are the students in high school students and curriculum standard textbook current program Students have different levels: good, fair,

medium and weak

IV Research Methods

Researching, collecting the forms of exercises which relate to the conditions and how to do them Thereby ,we can evalua of cognition and abilities of students in the learning process

V Research Time

Topical studied from August 2016 to April 2017

PART THREE: CONTENTS Chapter I: Basic of the subject

I always think about how to understand and distinguish between conditional

sentences and how to do the exercises related to the conditions to achieve high results For example: there is no conditional sentences? Must conjugation in the public? Or how to move from the given situation to conditional sentences? That's what I did at that time as well as the pupils now have difficulty in the learning process

From the difficulties, the experience in the process of learning and teaching, I have chosen the theme "How to recognize and use the terms" do your research problem Thematic studies when I try to find different types of exercises to introduce

students to help them understand and do the exercises

Chapter II: The real situation of the subject

Thanks to the teaching and the results of the students have achieved, many students understand and do conditional assignments However, the results are not as

expected because their background knowledge is limited

The results to 10A4 and 10A5 are as follows:

Class 10A4: Good : 8.82%

Fair : 44.12%

Average : 41.18%

Weak : 5.88%

Poor :0

Class 10A5: Good : 15%

Fair : 52.50%

Average :30.00%

Weak : 2.50%

Poor :0

To implement this subject I will address the following related issues:

* Summary and introduction to conditional knowledge

* Types of conditional sentences

Chapter III The initiative has been used

I Definition

Conditional sentences ( 2 clauses):If – clause and main clause

Ex: If you phone me, I will come.

If- clause: If you phone me

Main clause: I will come.

II Types of conditional sentences

In my opinion, English has two main types of conditional sentences These are: The conditional statement and the conditional subjuntive

1 The conditional statement

a.If – clause

Tenses of the verb and adverbs of time must correspond to each other (ie, the same lie on a step)

Adverbials of time Tense of verbs

Present simple or

future

Present simple tense

Present progressive Present progressive

tense or present simple tense Present perfect Present perfect tense

or present perfect progressive tense

Past progressive Past progressive

tense

past perfect progressive tense

Ex If it is rainy tomorrow, …

If I don’t phone him now, …

If John is playing soccer now, …

If He has been learning English for ten years, …

If my boyfriend was in the cinema lastnight, …

b.Main clause

- auxilary : WILL / CAN

- verb bare infinitive WILL:

+ present simple / future à bare infinitive

+ present progressive à be V-ing + present perfect / past simple / past perfect à have PII

+ past progressive / persent perfect progressive / past perfect progressive

à have been V-ing

Ex If it is rainy tomorrow, we will stay at home.

If I don’t phone him now, he will go to Ho Chi Minh City.

If John is playing soccer now, you will not meet him.

If He has been learning English for ten years, he will have spoken this

language fluently

If my friend was in the cinema lastnight, he will not go there again today.

2 The conditional subjuntive.

a.If-clause

Tenses of the verb and adverbs of time must correspond to each other (ie, the same lie on a step).

Adverbials of time Tense of verbs

progressive tense

Ex If I were you, …

If I were staying at home now, …

If he had been learning English for ten years now, …

If we had been Hanoi yesterday, …

b.Main – clause

- Trợ động từ: WOULD / COULD

- Động từ nguyên mẫu sau trợ động từ WOULD:

+ present simple / future à bare infinitive

+ present progressive à be V-ing

+ present perfect / past simple / past perfect à have PII

+ past progressive / persent perfect progressive / past perfect progressive

à have been V-ing

Ex If I were you, I would study harder.

If I were staying at home now, I would be meeting his my uncle.

If he had been learning English for ten years now, he would have got a

new job

If we had been Hanoi yesterday, we would have met our idol

III How to recognize and rewrite using conditional sentences.

In this form ,we will give two separate sentences and connect with words such as:

so = that's why / because

- so clause is main clause

- because clause is if clause

1.a.Both clause is the future tense,we use the type 1 (not negative)

Ex: I will go there I will buy you a dog

=> If I go there, I will buy you a dog

b one clause is the present tense and the other is the future or present ,we use the

type 2 (both clause is used the negative)

ex:I can’t go out because it is raining

=> If it weren’t raining, I could go out

c Both clause is the past tense ,we use the type 3 (both clause is used the negative)

ex: yesterday he didn’t go there,so he didn’t meet her

=>If he had gone there yesterday, he would have met her

2 rewriting sentence changes from without to if:

If clause is used “if… not….”, main clause is uncharged

Ex: -Without your help, I wouldn’t pass the exam

If you didn’t help, I wouldn’t pass the exam

-Without water, we would die

If there were no water, we would die

3 rewriting sentence changes from Or, otherwise to if:

Forrm: Imperative , or + S will + V…

→If you don’t +Vo…, S will + V…

ex: -Hurry up, or you will be late

If you don’t hurry, you will be late

4 rewriting sentence changes from But for to if :

But for = if it weren’t for

ex: But for your help, I would die

If it weren’t for your help, I would die

* So + clause => Main clause

* That’s why + clause => Main clause

* Because + clause => If- clause

* Indicating clause of cause => If – clause

Clause of result => Main clause

PART FOUR: CONCLUSIONS AND IDEAS I.CONCLUSIONS In the process of teaching English in the school, I have

introduced basic knowledge about the conditions for students For each student is required on different way about the knowledge For students who are weak I will only cover the basics so they distinguish three kinds of conditional sentences For students with learning challenges quite well I provide higher knowledge

So I found most of the students have understand the basic knowledge and applied

do test exercises serve the high school graduation exam

II IDEAS

When teaching, the teacher should pay attention to the subject, the grammatical structure and each student object to make the appropriate request Guide students to understand the requirements, but it must be logical On the other hand the teacher should respect the independence and creation of the students Look forward to the contributions from my friends
