PRACTICE ON CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Read the text carefully and please do the exercise below! 

"A Day Full of Possibilities"

If the sun shines tomorrow, we will go to the beach. My friends and I have been planning this trip for weeks, but if it rains, we will stay indoors and watch movies instead.

I wish I were an early riser—if I woke up earlier, I would have more energy for the day. My sister always wakes up at 6 a.m.; if I did the same, I would feel much more refreshed!

Yesterday, I missed my alarm. If I had woken up on time, I wouldn’t have been late for class. My teacher was disappointed, saying, "If you had studied more, you would have done better on the test!"

Despite everything, I believe that if we work hard, we achieve great things. If you dream big, your goals become reality.

Practice Tasks:

1. Identify the type of each conditional sentence.
2. Try rewriting one sentence using a different type of conditional.
3. Create your own short paragraph using conditionals.
