Question 8: Which of the three types of conditional sentences is the most difficult to be acquired by students?

1. 
   First conditional
   

2. 
   Second conditional
   

3. 
   Third conditional
   

We asked this question to find out the most difficult conditional type for students. As a result, no one says first conditional is difficult. 19% of the teachers say second conditional is the most difficult among them, but the majority of the teachers claim third conditional is the most difficult because they represent 81% of the teachers who returned the questionnaire. The following diagram shows the result we obtained:
