(Students are asked to participate)

D. Application

Chain Conditionals
Procedure:
 Give each student a piece of paper.
 Each student writes a sentence in that structure at the top of the paper.
 Then they pass it to the student on their left.
  Each student must then write a second conditional sentence which follows
from the previous one. In other words, they would use the second part of the
previous sentence as the first part of the next one.
 After each sentence is written, the student must fold over the piece of paper
so that only one sentence is showing i.e., the student is only able to see the
previous sentence.

Example:
If I won the lottery, I’d buy a Ferrari.
If I bought a Ferrari, I’d drive to France.
If I drove to France, I’d eat a lot of pasta.
If I ate a lot of pasta, I’d get fat.
If I got fat, I wouldn’t fit into my clothes.
