Tense Christmas? 🎄

That reminded me of when I was teaching English abroad, and once had to take someone else’s more advanced class. Topic for the lesson was the 3rd conditional.
Hadn’t a clue! Had to look it up in my trusty EFL grammar.

Of course it was a thing native speakers use without even thinking,
For those classes (largely Arabic speaking young males sent by their various govt. depts.). the usual method was this -

1st conditional - If I win the lottery I’ll buy a car.
2nd, If I won the lottery I’d buy a car.
3rd, If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.

So complicated for the poor learners!

I shall forward it to DD.

I will forward it to DD!

If you’ve got a spare moment 😬 could you type it out for me?
I use an iPad mini and things like this always come out to small and blurry for me to read. And I think I would enjoy it.

A lot to ask I know🙄🙂
