T: What is the difference between the two kinds of sentences? S3: When the speaker talks about a past situation, the sentence structure should be: I wish + I + had + pp. S4: When the speaker talks about a present situation, the sentence structure should be: I wish + I + v-ed. Show the following on the screen.

Step III Grammar

Task 1: Structure Ask the students to read the sentences in Activity 1 and then do the exercises followed.

T: When we talk about an imaginary situation in the present or future, we often use the subjunctive sentences. Subjunctive is used to express doubt, wishes, or possibility. Now read the example sentences in Activity 1 and choose the correct answers. Check the answers.

Ask the students to read the following sentences aloud.

(1)

If it should be necessary, I could come at six.
