Love and relationships second conditional questions

Think about how to complete one of the questions on the next page, write what you think your partner’s answer will be (as “Y” or “N”), ask your question, then tell your partner what you thought they would say. Your teacher will tell you if you should write in the gaps or not.

Ask about any sentences which you couldn’t complete, are not sure that you completed correctly, etc.

Which grammatical forms have to go in each gap below?

How are the completed gapped sentences different from these kinds of sentences?

  • If you have a blind date, what do you do?
