7. The consequence chain
Choose one of the two sentences
• If I won 10.000 euros tomorrow, I would OR
• If I went to the airport tomorrow, I’d
Fill in your own answer and then give it to the
person on your left. Now, you each have a new
paper. Continue your classmate’s sentence by
adding the consequence to what he/she said. Fold
you classmate’s answer and then give the paper to
the person sitting on your left. Keep doing this
until you have added a consequence to
everybody’s story.

8. Example
If I won 10.000 tomorrow, I’d
tell my mum (gives to next
student). If you told your
mum, she’d make you share the
money with your sister(next
student). If you shared with
your sister, you’d have 5.000
euros…… etc.

the cards to survive or get out of the cave
(question mark card can be an object of your
choice).
 Use the structure: If I had a…, I would
Or your own second conditional if clause

group would use and how. You must
use the 2nd conditional when
presenting the two objects.
