Question 1

Sort these sentences by whether they use the first or second conditional structure.

Question 2

These clauses belong to imagined situations. Sort them by the time stated, not by the past form of the verb.

Question 3

Sort each clause by the full form of its contracted ’d. Use the verb after the contraction to decide.

Question 4

Sort each condition by its meaning: would the rain still be falling, or would it have stopped? Read unless as if not.

Question 5

Each result follows If I earned more. Sort by the whole meaning: a chosen action, an ability or available option, or an uncertain action.
