The answers can differ on what parents tell their child to do before they may go to a

conditional sentences by connecting sentence halves. Working in pairs this activity will be
done in class. (Practice phase)

sentences will have word gaps. Selection of words will be listed on the top of the page.

completing the sentences as they make sense. (production phase)
