Sample Sentences:
If Blair had not lied to Todd, he wouldn’t have married her.
If Blair had not married Todd, she could have married Cord.
If Todd had known about the $28 million before his
marriage, he might have suspected Blair.
Variation:
Instead of using soap opera summaries, use a story the class has read.
If this is a multiskills class, you know what material the class has
read. If the reading class is separate, you can check with the reading
instructor. Follow the same procedure, but write conditional sentences
based on the story. You can also use fairy tales or fables.
