Purpose: practice of:
IF + HAD (N’T) PARTICIPLE, WOULD (N’T) HAVE PARTICIPLE
Materials: a print out of the story (see below)
Teachers read the story:
1. Students write each problem and its corresponding result on the board
EXAMPLE: Her alarm didn't go off – she overslept.
2. Students imagine Sarah had a good morning and use the third conditional:
If her alarm had gone off, she wouldn't have overslept.
Pairs of students make third conditional sentences with the remaining examples.
STORY:
Sarah had to be at the airport for her flight at 9am, but her alarm didn't go off and she overslept. She got dressed very quickly, threw everything into her suitcase and ran out of the house.
When she got to the airport she realised she had forgotten her passport. So she jumped in a taxi and returned home. She grabbed her passport from the coffee table, got in a taxi and went back to the airport.
One mile from the airport the taxi broke down. She tried to flag down another, but they were all taken and so she ran the rest of the way.
When she arrived at the airport, she saw that she had missed her flight. She had to pay 500 dollars for another ticket for the next flight.
While she was waiting, she went to buy a book. She was so preoccupied with her difficult morning that she walked out of the shop without paying and was arrested by the police.
The police detained her for three hours and she missed her flight again. Sarah went home and decided never to fly again!

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!
