Approximately 18 months ago, we completed a technical review of the infrastructure and software we used to serve Wikispaces users.

This post is part of a series of posts related to conditionals. Today, I am going to write about fun activities you can use with your learners when teaching what is known as the 1st conditional. 1st conditional But first, what do I mean by first conditional? My focus is on the form that appears in most ntermediate/ upper intermediate grammar books. Here is the form: If clause , main clauseIf + s. present/present continuous (or present perfect) , imperative/ modals/ s. future.

Eleverna svarar med fingrarna och får sedan förklara sina val. Efter några omgångar har vi hunnit repetera reglerna som gäller. Därefter följer en mening som ska översättas från svenska till tyska. Eleverna börjar med att skriva individuellt för att sedan jämföra med bordsgrannen. Slutligen får en från varje grupp skriva gruppens variant på tavlan, varpå vi ser vilka skillnader som finns och jag som lärare kommenterar och korrigerar eventuella fel.
