Trang 3I THE OPENING
1 The reasons for choosing the topics.
In the current trend of economic integration, learning foreign languages,
especially English in any country, is focused, cared and invested appropriately.Maybe with the same meaning of the sentence, but by different ways of
expressing words that the speaker or writer will bring to the reader, listener a vivid sense of your words or sentences
Example: If you don’t get up early, you will be late for school
OR Unless you get up early, you will be late for school
You will be late for school unless you get up early
Conditional sentences is one of the important English grammatical structures
of the high school English program in general as well as the English program
This created creativity in the author’s way of speaking and writing and urged
EXCERCISES ON THE CONDITIONNAL ( AT TRIEU SON 4 HIGH SCHOOL)
2 Research purposes.
Supplement and improve knowledge for students in grades 10, 11 and 12 on
the part: The conditional sentences.
- Understanding the theory, how to do exercises on conditional sentences
- Understanding the problems of teaching English in general and teaching conditional sentences for students in grades 10, 11 and 12 at Trieu son 4 high school in the 2018-2019 school year in particular
- From the results of the research, I give some measures to enhance effective teaching and learning about conditional sentences for Trieu Son 4 high school students
- Guiding students to learn and practice so that they get skills to do some types
of exercises on conditional sentence better in general They can also do well these sort of exercise in high school exams as well as the GCSE exam
Morever, students know to use conditional sentence effectively in
communication
3 Subjects of the study.
- Teaching students of public high school system under the standard of English textbook program (7 years), and some sentences in the GCSE exam
- Conducted in grades 12B1, 11C2 and 10A4 at Trieuson 4 in the academic year 2018-2019
4 Research methodology
Trang 44 3 Statistical Methods: Teacher counts the results of the students in the class
he is teaching through regular and periodic tests
- The level of the lesson and the ability of the students
II CONTENT
1 Theoretical basis:
In the current high school program, the conditional sentences are distributed
in Unit 8 , 9, 11 ( Tieng Anh 10 ); Unit 7 ( Tieng Anh 11 ): Unit 5 ( Tieng Anh
12 ) In the GCSE exam and is all in the form this kind of exercise Instead of writing sentences; Rewrite the sentence, this type of exercise is released as Multiple Choice - Objective test In the way that students can rewrite the types
of situations with this form, they will not have any difficulty in doing choice exercises So that the students have a basic knowledge so that their higher education later convenient and easy After learning and practicing the exercises and checking the results, the number of students who master and use the grammar points will be a measure of the method of application ( teaching methods- teaching techniques), which method and technique is superior and can be applied approriately to the object of students, their own area of
multiple-teaching- where most of them do not know how to learn English in a
combination of the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.In a
normal classroom, there is only from 25% to 40% the learner acquires
knowledge called basic grammar and a modest vocabulary And the reality may
So the question here posed with me is to really innovate our teaching methods
to meet new current training needs and must realize the value of using
conditional sentences in the life and understand how to practice this kind of instruction to improve myself to benefit for my students
2 Real situation before applying the experience idea :
- Students have been learning English at junior high school program
In standard English program textbooks, conditional grammar point spread and iswidely distributed via the lesson of Reading, Speaking, Listening, Writing, and especially the Language Focus of unit 8, 9, 11 (Tieng Anh 10), Unit 7 (Tieng Anh 11) and Unit 5 (Tieng Anh 12):
Trang 5For students of our school, most of students find difficult to learn English
Students are farmer’s children, English learning environment is weak Student’s input is rather low In addition, actual teaching and learning conditions of the school is limited Foreign language teachers is young in teaching experience, time for practising this grammar in the textbook is not much, this leads to the most students find difficult to apply for doing exercises, improving their other skills as well as exams
With the existence of the above difficulties and limitations So the results
achieving in the process of teaching and learning is not high That is evidenced
by the results survey test on grammar problems before applying innovative
experiences in teaching with the following statistics :
( Attachment: Appendix 1 students’ test before applying teaching experience )
To troubleshoot and resolve the above situation I have studied, explored, and found out a number of measures in order to share with my colleagues the
experiences of teaching conditional sentences I hope to improve and enhance the quality of teaching and learning the grammar, to create dynamic grammar lessons, I also have specific instructions and details for the students to do
various forms of exercises which is easy for students to understand, apply for their tests, exams and especially use in four skills: listening - speaking - reading
- writing
Here are some specific measures
3 Some techniques to teach and do excercises on conditional sentences:
3.1 Grammar
3.1.1 The conditional sentence consists of two parts:
Example: If it rains, I shall stay at home
I would buy that house if I were you
+ “ If it rains” and “ if I were you” : IF- CLAUSE
+ “ I shall stay at home” and “ I would buy that house”: MAIN-CLAUSE
3.1.2 Types of conditional sentences in English
a Conditional sentences type 1
Teacher: Introduce the situation through pictures From the pictures , give
examples
Student: Look at the pictures, example then give structure
Trang 6
Example:
If I am tired, I won’t go to school.
Usage:
- It is used to express a possible condition and a probable result in the present
or the future, instructions or commands (main clause is used in imperative)
Notes:
+ Use the present tense in the main clause to describle something that is always true or an obvious fact
Example:
If you heat ice, it turns to water.
+ can/ may dùng thay cho will/shall possible.
Example:
If you study hard, you can pass the exam
+ If- clause can use the progressive tense or the present perfect tense
Example:
If you are looking for Peter you’ll find him upstairs
If you have finished dinner I’ll ask the waiter for the bill
+ In some situations, use WHEN instead of IF when things happen surely.
Example:
When I go home tonight, I will have a bath
b Conditional sentences type 2
Teacher: Introduce the situation through pictures From the pictures , give examples
Student: Look at the pictures, example then give structure
Trang 7Example: If I had a map, I wouldn’t get lost.
Usage: It is used to talk about things which are unreal (not true or not possible)
at present or in the future
Eg If he knew my phone number, he would call me
c Conditional sentences type 3
Teacher: Introduce the situation through pictures From the pictures , give examples
Student: Look at the pictures, example then give structure
Trang 8d Using “ mixed time” in conditional sentences( type 2,3).
Form
If + S + had + P.P S + would + bare infinitive
Usage: This statement describles the past supporting conditions and the resuilts
are not possible at present
Eg If I had gone to bed early last night, I wouldn’t feel sleepy now
NOTE: Some variation of conditional type 2,3:
d.1 But for + noun + conditional type 2,3:
But for ( Nếu không có )- Use: If it weren’t for + noun instead of but for
Eg: You help me every day so I can finish my work
=> But for your daily help, I couldn't finish my work
OR: If it weren't for your daily help, I couldn't finish my work
Eg: She encouraged him and he succeeded
=> But for her encouragement, he wouldn’t have succeeded
d.2 Without (nếu không có ) instead of if:
Eg: 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
d.3 Or, otherwise using if :
Command + or, otherwise + S will … Use : If you don’t (Rewrite, leaving or, otherwise) Eg: Hurry up, or you will be late
=> If you don't hurry, you will be late
+ Any clauses that precede are also possible and the meaning of the
sentences does not change If- clause precedes this clause, use a comma.
Example: If I were you, I would study harder
Or: I would study harder if I were you
3.1.3 Some variation of conditional sentences
A Conditional sentences type 1
If … not…= Unless (Trừ phi; nếu không)
IF CLAUSE => UNLESS
+ negative=> affirmative
+ affirmative=> affirmative
MAIN CLAUSE + keep intact + changes main verb => negative Example: I won't visit you if I don't have time
=> Unless I have time, I won’t visit you
If you don't attend the lecture, you can't say you understand it
=> Unless you attend the lecture, you can't say you understand it
Note: The clause containing “unless” does not use the negative.
Trang 9Example: If anybody calls me, please tell them I’m busy.
=> Should anybody call me, please tell them I’m busy
B 2 Conditional sentences type 2
S + would/could/should… + V…
Eg: If I were you, I wouldn’t do that
=> Were I you, I wouldn’t do that
Eg: If it weren’t for your progress, I wouldn’t be here
=> Were it not for your progress, I wouldn’t be here
Eg: If I spoke English well, I could be offered a good job
=> Were I to speak English well, I could be offered a good job
B 3 Conditional sentences type 3
Eg: If I had known, I would have told you
=> Had I known, I would have told you
Eg: If it hadn’t been for hot weather, we would have had a wonderful holiday
=> Had it not been for hot weather, we would have had a wonderful holiday
3.1.4 The types of conditional exercises ( Level of attack )
A The first type: Give correct form of the verbs in brackets
OR: Multiple-choice (In the GCSE exam )
- At the level of ordinary people basically sharing their one side and so they simply observe that these categories that apply the formula correctly
Example: If I meet him, I (give) him this book.
- See the cautionary statement to the party if the current is so I know it's kind of
one so we use type 1: If I meet him, I will give him this book.
- Also somewhat difficult case than they would close the brackets on both
sides In this case, first the children see things have happened in the past, if the right is to use of type 3, if there are no signs of the past, then you have to
translate: if found incapable or unlikely to occur, use of type 2, if there is the possibility of the use of type 1
Example: If he (go) there yesterday, he (meet) the her.
Signs of the past (yesterday) so we use type 3:
=> If he had gone there yesterday, he would have met the her.
Example: I (go) there if I (be) you.
No signs of the past, so we literally: if I were you => improbable story should
use type 2: => I would go there if I were you.
Trang 10B The second type: Rewrite sentences by using IF:
This form of question one would give two separate or connected by the word as:
so that's why = (so), (because)
For this form if you see:
- The second sentence, the future division, use type 1 (not negative)
- A current party, a party future / present, use type 2 (negative)
- If the past in which the user types 3 (negative)
Note: - Negative is the problem have not, we have not used not and vice versa.
- If there is because to immediately position because If
- If so, that's why it so if contrary to their position
Example: I will go there I will buy you a dog
=> If I go there, I will buy you a dog
I can not go out because it is raining
=> If it were not raining, I could go out (One can, I use, not changed will)
OR: Type rewrite sentences ranging from sentence to the user “ Unless :
“Unless” in place of “if”, leaving not, the main clause remains the same
Example: If you do not speak loudly , he will not hear
=> Unless you speak loudly, he will not hear

D.Had it not been for his friends’ support and encouragement, he couldn’t have done so well in the competition
3.2.2.2 Solution
a Step 1
Teacher has students recognize situation If the given situations are in the
present tense or future tense, use conditional sentence type 1or type 2 to rewrite
If the given situations are in the past tense, use conditional sentence type 3 to rewrite
Exercise 2 Express these situations using conditional sentence type 2 (Tieng Anh 12 page 60)
Verbs in sentences ( present tense ) => type 2
Exercise 2 Write a sentence with if for each situation (Tieng Anh 10 page 119)
1 The accident happened because the driver in front stopped so suddently
(past tense -> type 3)
2 I didn’t know that Lam had to get up early, so I didn’t wake him
(past tense -> type 3)
3 I was able to buy the car only because Hoa lent me the money
(past tense -> type 3)
4 Mary was not injured in the crash because she was wearing a seat belt
(past tense -> type 3)
