B1 - File 9A (First part)

Dear students,
for this lesson we need to revise Files 7&8. Go to page 136-137. On this spread you will see the Revise and Check section with revision exercises and an extra Reading and Video Listening. In the Folder below you'll find the key.

We have to start File 9A on page 144. We're going to study the Third Conditional and more Word-building.
Conditional sentences Type 3 are used to talk about unreal or hypothetical situations. The basic pattern is:

IF  PAST PERFECT                +     WOULD HAVE PAST PARTICIPLE
If I had bought that lottery ticket, I would have won a lot of money.

VARIATION: MIGHT or COULD instead of WOULD

Now do exercise b. Read and listen to the text. Some help with the vocabulary:
knock on: Llamar a la puerta
wonder: preguntarse
hitchhike: hacer autoestop
rudely: maleducadamente

After that you need to listen to the recording in exercise c. You'll find the script on page 202, 9.2. (vocabulary help: rush: apresurarse)

On page 145 go to exercise e. There are three stories of people who were helped by strangers. You have to listen to the recordings and match three sentences to each story.
The answers are: a3, b2, c3, d1, e2, f1, g3, h1, i2.
Then, listen again and read the scripts on page 203, 9.3.

Now 2 GRAMMAR third conditional.
Match the sentence halves: 1C, 2B, 3A, 4D. All the situations expressed are imaginary, unreal only hypotheses.
Please go to page 220 for the grammar. Read it closely. Careful with the contraction 'D. It can be HAD or WOULD.
If I'd (HAD) known you had a problem, I'd (WOULD) have helped you.

Do the exercises and check your answers on the key in the Folder.
At this moment you can do the exercises on Worksheet Grammar 9A. You will find it (together with the key) in the Folder below.
I also suggest you read the grammar pages for File 9A in your Pocket Books for Speakers of Spanish.
