**Lesson Plan: Teaching the Third Conditional (ESL - Pre-intermediate Level)**

**Objective:**

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to understand and use the third conditional to talk about
unreal past situations and their hypothetical outcomes.

**Materials Needed:**

- Whiteboard and markers or a digital whiteboard

- Handouts with example sentences using the third conditional

- Worksheet with practice exercises

- Visual aids (optional)

- Realia (optional)

**Time:**

60 minutes

**Procedure:**

**1. Warm-Up (5 minutes):**

- Begin the lesson by asking students to recall a decision or action they regret from the past.

- Encourage them to share with a partner or the class what they would have done differently if they
could go back in time.

**2. Introduction to Third Conditional (10 minutes):**

- Write the structure of the third conditional on the board: "If + past perfect, would have + past
participle."

- Explain that the third conditional is used to talk about unreal past situations and their hypothetical
outcomes.
- Provide examples on the board and elicit examples from students to ensure understanding.

**3. Guided Practice (15 minutes):**

- Hand out worksheets with example sentences using the third conditional.

- Have students work individually or in pairs to complete the sentences with the correct form of the
verbs.

- Circulate around the classroom to provide assistance and answer any questions.

**4. Controlled Practice (15 minutes):**

- Divide the class into pairs or small groups.

- Provide each group with a set of sentence cards containing incomplete third conditional sentences.

- Instruct students to complete the sentences on the cards and then share their completed sentences with
the group.

- Monitor the groups and provide feedback as needed.

**5. Production Activity (10 minutes):**

- Show pictures or realia representing different past scenarios, such as a car accident, a missed flight, or
a failed exam.

- Have students discuss in pairs or small groups what might have happened differently if things had
been different using the third conditional.

- Encourage students to use their imaginations and be creative in their responses.

**6. Wrap-Up (5 minutes):**

- Review the key points of the lesson and the use of the third conditional.

- Ask students if they have any questions or if there are any areas they would like to practice further.

- Assign homework if desired, such as writing sentences or a short paragraph using the third
conditional.
**Extension Activity (Optional):**

- Create a role-play activity where students act out hypothetical conversations about past events using the
third conditional.

- Use online resources or games to provide additional practice with the third conditional outside of class.

**Note to Teacher:**

- Make sure to provide plenty of examples and opportunities for students to practice using the third
conditional in context.

- Monitor students closely during practice activities to ensure they are using the structure correctly and
provide corrective feedback when necessary.
