Q & A
What is the main focus of the video script?
-The main focus of the video script is to teach English conditionals, specifically the second conditional, through an engaging and interactive lesson.
Who are the presenters in the video script?
-The presenters in the video script are Sir DJ and Dan, who are described as English learning buddies.
What is the purpose of the 'Words Will Float' game in the script?

What is a zero conditional and how is it formed?
-A zero conditional, also known as a factual conditional, is used to express truths, facts, habits, instructions, and rules. It is formed using the present simple verb in both the 'if' clause and the result clause.
How is a first conditional different from a second conditional?
-A first conditional is used for possible or likely events in the future, formed with 'if' or 'when' followed by the present simple in the 'if' clause and 'will' plus the base form of the verb in the result clause. A second conditional is used for unlikely or hypothetical situations, using the past simple in the 'if' clause and 'would' plus the base form of the verb in the result clause.
What is the function of the second conditional in the English language?
-The second conditional is used to express hypothetical situations that are unlikely or impossible in the present, to imagine different scenarios, and to give polite advice or refusals.
What is the significance of the example 'If I were 10 times richer, how would I spend the money?' in the script?
-This example illustrates the use of the second conditional to express a hypothetical situation where the speaker is not currently rich, but imagines what they would do if they were.
How does the script help viewers practice forming second conditional sentences?
-The script provides a fun activity called 'Complete the Conditional' where viewers fill in the blanks with the correct form of a verb to complete second conditional sentences, reinforcing their understanding.
What advice does the script give for using the second conditional politely?
-The script suggests using the second conditional to soften responses, such as declining an invitation by saying 'If I weren't so busy, I would come,' which is more polite than a direct refusal.
What is the final activity suggested in the script for further practice?
-The final activity suggested is to write sentences about personal dreams using the second conditional, encouraging creative use of the tense and aligning with the quote about dreaming as a form of planning.
What is the promise made at the end of the script for the next episode?
-The promise made at the end of the script is that the next episode will discuss the last type of conditional, hinting at a continuation of the series on English conditionals.
Outlines
đ Introduction to English Learning with Sir DJ and Dan
The video begins with Sir DJ and Dan, the English learning buddies, warmly welcoming viewers and setting a cheerful tone for the lesson. They emphasize the importance of having pen and paper ready for note-taking and encourage viewers to actively engage with the content. The hosts introduce a reflective exercise where they invite viewers to ponder hypothetical scenarios, such as the absence of a pandemic or being born in a different country, to stimulate thought and discussion. This leads into a game called 'Words Will Float,' where words appear randomly, and viewers are challenged to arrange them into coherent sentences. The game is designed to practice sentence construction and logical thinking in English.
đ Deep Dive into Conditional Sentences
Paragraph 2 transitions into a more structured lesson on conditional sentences. Sir DJ and Dan recap the concept of conditionals from a previous episode, explaining that they consist of an 'if' clause and a main clause, used to express real or hypothetical situations. They differentiate between zero, first, and second conditionals, each with its specific use and verb tense structure. Zero conditionals deal with facts and habits, using the present simple tense, while first conditionals speculate on possible future events, using the present simple in the 'if' clause and future tense in the main clause. Second conditionals, the focus of this lesson, are used for improbable or unreal situations, employing the past simple in the 'if' clause and 'would' plus the base form of the verb in the main clause. The hosts provide examples and clarify the usage of each type, aiming to solidify the viewers' understanding.
đ Interactive Activity: Complete the Conditional
In this segment, Sir DJ and Dan engage viewers with an interactive activity called 'Complete the Conditional.' The activity involves filling in the blanks with the correct verb forms to complete second conditional sentences. The hosts present a series of sentences with missing parts, challenging viewers to practice constructing sentences using the second conditional. This exercise is designed to reinforce the lesson's concepts and provide practical application. The activity is interactive, encouraging viewers to write down their answers and compare them with the provided correct forms, thus enhancing their learning experience.
đ Encouragement and Conclusion
The final paragraph wraps up the lesson with a sense of accomplishment and encouragement. Sir DJ and Dan commend the viewers for their participation and progress, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and practice. They motivate viewers to use the second conditional to express their dreams and aspirations, drawing inspiration from Gloria Steinem's quote about dreaming as a form of planning. The hosts remind viewers of the upcoming episode, which will cover the last type of conditional, building anticipation for further learning. The video concludes on a positive note, with a reminder to stay safe and a promise to see everyone in the next episode, emphasizing the ongoing journey of learning and teaching.

[Music]
hello there bright minds
it's nice to see you again i hope you're
having a delightful day
and yeah we're here again sir dj and dan
your english learning buddies
we want to make sure that you will learn
and we will enjoy our english lessons
together
so make sure you have your pen and your
paper with you
okay because once again
we will explore the wonders of this
universal language
what are we waiting for let's get the
fun started
have you ever had a moment of reflection
when you just sat down in a corner
looked at the rain drenched window
played sad
music and thought about what would
happen if things were different
like what if there were no pandemic
what would i be doing now
what would happen if i were born in a
different country
where would i be if i were a tv actor
a rock star how would my life be
what would happen if the moon
disappeared
oh man that would be so scary
if i were 10 times richer how would i
spend the money
i'd definitely share it with you guys
will you do the same for me
i sure hope so i am sure
a lot of thoughts are running through
your mind right now
but the question is how do you express
them
how would you construct a sentence that
would best
express what you want to say
sometimes we are caught in a moment
where we know what we want to say
but the words seem to appear jumbled in
our heads
it's as if they are just floating freely
how about i challenge you to a game like
that
let's play words will float you will
quote
words will appear floating around me and
then you'll try to write them down
and arrange them to come up with a
sentence that has a logical thought
i want you to write your answers down in
your notebook
can you do that i'm sure you can
ready let's go here's the first set of
words
hmm what could this sentence be
what is it trying to say
write down your guess
the sentence is if only i passed the
test
i would celebrate and party did you get
that
i'm sure you did or did you
let's try the next one what could this
sentence be
i wonder i see an ear floating around
oh is that a wood over there
where could that word be placed
done our second sentence is
if i knew where she lived i would go and
see her
good one how are you doing so far keep
up the good work
now let's go to the last one hmm
what could this sentence be
i see camera and photo
there is also broad which is the past
tense of bring
interesting what are they trying to say
that's right our sentence is
i would take a photo if i brought my
camera with me
you did very well in our game
let's look at the sentences we came up
with
if only i passed the test i would
celebrate and party
if i knew where she lived i would go and
see her
i would take a photo if i brought my
camera with me
you're probably thinking hey these
sentences look like
conditionals you are right
they actually are conditionals however i
am sure
some of you found it a little bit
confusing to arrange
these words correctly right
how should we write sentences like those
don't worry we got you fam we'll help
you
but before that come on let's have a
recap of what we had last time
in the previous episode we talked about
conditionals
can you still remember what conditionals
are
great conditionals are statements
expressing the result of a particular
condition
do you remember how many clauses a
conditional sentence has
that's right we have two
the if clause and the main clause
or the result plus wow you're good
now how do we know if a conditional is a
zero conditional
correct again a zero conditional is also
called a factual conditional
because it is used to express truths and
facts
the things that are real and are
existing around us
also a zero conditional expresses
facts habits instructions
and rules it can be written using the
present simple verb
in both the if plus and the result
clause
what about the first conditional
absolutely the first conditional is also
called
a possible conditional since it is used
in dealing with things that can
possibly or are likely to happen in the
future
but how do we form a first conditional
you nailed it we can write a first
conditional
by using if or when then
we use the present simple in the if
clause
and in the result clause we will use the
future tense
which is will plus the base form of the
verb
you already have a habit of reading your
notes well
great job now that you already know how
and when to use the zero in the first
conditional
let's get started with this lesson
when do we use the second conditional
we use it in dealing with things that
are
impossible in the present and
are also unlikely to occur in the future
unlikely to become real in the future
but not completely impossible
we can use it when we want to imagine
and to dream
that the current situation is different
from what it really is
for example if i had enough money
i would buy a sports car the point in
this sentence
is that i currently do not have enough
money
but if i had enough money this is what i
would do
i would buy a sports car the f-class
gave a different situation compared to
what it really is
i don't have enough money
if only i passed the test i would
celebrate
and party question did the speaker pass
the test right
he did not it means that the current
situation is
different and the unlikely outcome is
that he would celebrate about it
but unfortunately he won't
remember in writing a second conditional
the verb in the if clause should be
written in the past
simple while in the result clause it
should be
would plus the base form of the verb
if only he charged his phone he wouldn't
need to borrow yours
keep in mind that you can make one or
both clauses
negative in second conditionals
if i didn't read my notes i wouldn't get
a good score
never forget to read your notes it'll
definitely help you get good scores
take it from me we can use it
to talk about things in the future that
are probably not going to be true
maybe imagining some dream for example
if i met catherine bernardo i would
shake her hand
the chances of the if clause is slim
we can also use the second conditional
to ask
interesting hypothetical questions
like if you had a chance to meet your
favorite k-pop idol
would you ask for a picture together
what would you do if you were a senator
if you only had one friend who would it
be these questions
are good conversation starters right a
good conversation starter topic
can make a normal conversation great
the second conditional can also be used
to give advice
for example if i were you i'd practice
my reading skills
i'd is a contraction of i would
if i were her i would talk more politely
speaking of being polite have you ever
had an experience
when you wanted to say no to somebody
but you were looking for a nice way to
say it so you won't hurt him or her
the second conditional can really help
you with that
saying the word no alone seems to have
a strong negative tone right so we want
to try to soften our response
by explaining why we can't do something
check out this situation
hey bro we're going to have a party at
my place do you want to join us
no see how rude this statement can be
but if we use the second conditional it
would sound a little better
hey bro we're going to have a party at
my place do you want to join us
if i weren't so busy with my homework
i would come to the party but i'm really
busy
so i can't bro see the difference
being nice doesn't hurt remember
in a world where you can be anything be
kind
let's try to see how well you understand
our discussion today
