〖教学设计〗通过听英文歌，直接进入主题。一来，开门见山地引出今天的语法项目：非真实条件句，也就是虚拟条件句；再者，陶冶同学们的情趣，帮助他们快速进入本堂课的学习。

Step II

Presentation and Learning 1、Write the following sentences on the blackboard. 1) If I had the chance, I might want to be a translator. 2) If I got married in UK, I would expect a present. 3)If you had joined the chat room ten minutes ago, you would have known what we were talking about.

4)If the man had pointed

with his first finger while he was in Brunei, everyone would have thought that he was very rude. 5) If I had time tomorrow, I would certainly help you. 6) If I were to fail my Maths test, I would have to take it again at the end of the term.. 7) If he should come tomorrow, I would talk to him about it. 2、Read the above sentences aloud, try to find some information about unreal

conditionals ,then discuss in groups.

Step III. Discoveries

Discovery 1: 时间

与现在事实相反

与过去事实相反

与将来事实相反

从句

If +主语+动词的过去式(be-were)…

If+主语+had +过去分词

If+主语+were to/(should) + 动词原形

主句

Discovery 2: In written English or in formal situation, we usually use were in If-clauses in place of was. However, in everyday conversation, was is often used.

Discovery 3:

Would, could and might

are often interchangeable, but with some difference in meaning. Would → intention; plan

Could → ability; possibility

Might → probability

should→duty

Step IV. Competition
