First & Second Conditional · B1 · Small Choices, Big Difference | No-Prep ESL Grammar Lesson
A ready-to-teach B1 grammar lesson on the first and second conditional, built around everyday environment choices.

They discover when to use the first conditional (real possibilities) and the second (imaginary situations), race in teams, then plan a "no-waste week" together and compare habits in their own countries.
