was your wallet okay so in your pairs can you talk about which ones does Chris want to spend the money on
so we're talking about Chris Chris not Alex it's only one no it could be more than one okay let's start with this picture here what is
it okay put your hand up if you think Chris wants to spend his money or spend Alex's money that he found on a mobile yes
no not sure that's okay that's okay you're right he does want to spend his money on a new mobile okay or spend Alex's money on a new mobile what about
uh this one here yes what does this show us charity okay put your hand up if you think he would spend the money on a charity or give some money to charity
you think yes okay not sure I think you're right yes yes it is a charity good okay he would give some to charity what about uh this one here what is
it okay and put your hand up if you think he'd spend his money on holiday why not because
he okay he did mention holiday he sorry again he said he'd save he'd save the money or some money for his holiday so I think it's sort of a half he would spend
some of it on his holiday definitely okay good what about this one okay so he'd have a party would he
yes okay good what about this one did he say that yes yes okay and this one
yes listen you did hear bath you're right but what did he say about the bath did you catch that was something about the mobile to
buy no maybe he broke his mobile he dropped he dropped his mobile in the bath so that one no he doesn't want to buy a bath
what about this one MP3 player yeah did he mention
it no he didn't know uh and this one Chris no Alex Alex yes Alex was talking about a restaurant but
not Chris good okay so let's go back and look at Alex and Chris again so who has the wallet who found the
wallet Alex okay so Alex has the money does Chris have some money does Chris have a wallet full of money no
because lost lost okay okay but he doesn't have the wallet full of money does he Chris has it okay
but in the text Chris said if I found some money I'd keep it if I found some
money I'd keep it did he find some money does he have a wallet with money in it
now no is it possible for Chris to find a wet full of money yesterday no but in the future
maybe okay but is it a big possibility or a small possibility it's a very small
possibility isn't it okay um so he said if I found some money I'd keep it is this situation real or imaginary
imaginary IM it's imaginary isn't it it's not real for Chris is it real for Alex but for for Chris it's not okay so
he said if I found some money if I not you I if I found some
money I'd keep it I'd keep it okay if I found some
money what tense is this it's the past tense you're right you are right it's the past tense but is he talking about the
past no in future past in the future he's talking about I think he's talking about now and maybe the future but he's talking about
now why does he use a past verb okay but why do we use a past verb in the second conditional because it's unreal absolutely right yeah we want to show
that it's unreal that it's imaginary um okay good so uh if I found some money I'd keep it
I'd I would I would i' keep it good can you repeat so just listen first if I found
some money if I found some money I'd keep it I'd keep it if I found some money I'd keep it money i' keep it is it possible that
you will find some money big possibility or a small possibility very small I think yes okay so we're talking about imaginary situation good
okay again if I found some money I'd keep it if I found some money i' keep okay good now let's go back to the
pictures here what else did he say if I found some money bu new I'd buy a new phone okay can you repeat if I found some money I'd
buy a new phone I found some money buy a new phone everybody nice and Loud if I found some money I'd buy a new phone if I found some money i' buy a new phone
excellent okay umth okay I'd buy new clothes so if I found some money I'd buy new clothes
I new clothes okay good one more I okay good can you give me one more example from
here this one maybe if I found some Mone I make a make a
[Music] party we don't say make a party what verb do we use with party i'
I'd have a party good if I found some money I'd have a party good I found some
money have a good I a i'
have good again if I found some money I'd had ay brilliant Bruna good if if I found some money I'd had a party
i' good this is this one is in the past but this one is in the present good enza thank you okay excellent let's write this down okay so this is the sentence if I
found some money uh I'd keep it is our first sentence so how do we make the second conditional then we start off with we have
if Plus what's this good the subject good plus very
good okay and then we have I is the subject
good plus future simple okay so yes and this word is w
okay so we can we usually contract it when we're speaking but we can also write it good
okay and then it's followed by the no present what what verb is keep it's the you've got three verbs haven't you if you think of the
irregular verb table it's the infinitive okay good so w and D contraction is a positive what's the negative
okay good excellent any questions about this so are we talking about a real situation or an imaginary situation are we talking
about the past or the present present yes okay good let's practice okay so very
simply we're going to uh just change the end of the sentence okay we're going to change this verb all right so we'll start with if I found some money I'd keep it if let's let's do it so in the
tape he said if I found some money because he was comparing him and his friend okay so if I found some money I'd keep it
okay everyone let's get some energy in here okay everyone sit up pens down look at me yes lots of energy so when I show
you a card I'm going to show you a verb and you must change the ending and put the new ending on okay so ready if I
found some money I if I found some money I'd buy some
shoes if I found some money I go ladies if I found some money I give charity gentlemen
I I okay good good good right this time you're really happy I found money I it you're
angry I you're very sad some money okay good right let's try with the
first part so we'll keep this I'd keep it I'd keep it okay
so if I found 20 i' keep it if i500 I'd keep it very good okay all
together if I want okay if I won5 if I won £500 I'd keep it if I won [Music]
