I use the sentences that I wrote on the board to ask students some CCQs: If I won the lottery, I would buy a car. Did I win the lottery? No Is this real or imaginary? Imaginary At this time I will separate the clauses to show the students the structure and then I will elicit the form by asking some CCQs: How many clauses are there in this sentence? Two Which one is the main Clause? the second one What tense do we use for if? Past simple What word do we use with the result? Would If + past simple , would + base verb Then I will work on the intonation part: Rising intonation in If-clause and falling intonation in main clause.
