Unit 5 Conditional 'IF'

Some links to check out on conditionals:

1) Notes and Exercises
2)More notes and explanation
3) Test yourself!

Conditionals are commonly classified as 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Other sites will label them as Type 1, 2 or 3.

Do you know that there is even the existence of a 'Zero' conditional?
These are what we experience most of the time, probably during Science lessons!

6Filial Piety's Online Journal Topic



We have heard of ugly Singaporean behaviours, such as being 'kiasu'. However, something of a different nature came up late last year.

Some Singaporeans, during lunch time, have innovatively used packets of tissue paper to book seats in a hawker centre.
Read the article here to find out what happened.


Topic: Do you think that it is rude to use tissue packs to reserve seats?
