The game aims to challenge learners to think creatively and use their imagination to predict outcomes of given conditions. The hosts use relatable examples to make the lesson engaging and interactive, such as imagining a world where pigs could fly or if one had the ability to teleport.
🔄 Recap of Modal Verbs and Introduction to Conditionals
The second paragraph serves as a recap of the previous lesson on modal verbs, which are auxiliary verbs that provide additional information about the main verb in a sentence. The hosts review the four functions of modals: expressing permission, prohibition, obligation, and no obligation. They then introduce the concept of conditionals, explaining that they are statements that express results based on certain conditions. The paragraph sets the stage for a deeper dive into the types of conditionals in subsequent lessons.

[Music]
hello there
i hope you're having a wonderful day
we're here again
your english learning buddies bj and
dan to make sure you will learn and
enjoy our english lessons together
so make sure you have your pen and your
paper
ready because once again we will explore
the wonders
of the universal language so
let's get this started have you ever had
those crazy moments when you ask
yourself
weird questions like
what if we had winter in the philippines
then that would be a perfect weather for
our favorite bulaloo
what if cars could fly
[Music]
finally no more edsa traffic
will happen if our pets could speak
ok ming ming don't worry i'll feed you
later
what would happen if you could teleport
that would be crazy fun right now let's
challenge our bright minds with a fun
game
i'll be stating an if clause or a
statement that expresses a condition
and you'll try to give me a result
clause or
a possible outcome of the phrase or
clause that i will be giving
for example if pigs could fly
then they would have nests on trees
and that would be a sick instagram story
right
but don't worry i was just kidding about
the pigs with wings
i'll give you easy ones like if you drop
an egg
it breaks okay now grab your pen and
paper for my first
if class ready
let's play here we go
if you put an ice cube under the sun
what do you think will happen
that's right if you put an ice cube
under the sun
it melts let's try another one
if it rains tomorrow what will you do
if it will rain tomorrow
right on if it rains tomorrow i will
bring an
umbrella for this one you're free to
come up with your own answers
just write down whatever you want if
you'd ask me
i would say if i had a lot of money
i would travel the world and eat a lot
of food while at it
yum what about this one
if only i had slept early last night
you're really thinking about this aren't
you
you're probably thinking about the
things that kept you up late right
if only i had slept early last night i
could have gotten up early
to prepare breakfast for my family
staying a plate is not a good habit
remember
we need at least 8 hours of sleep sleep
deprivation
makes a smoothy and irritable and
impairs brain function such as
memory and decision making it also
negatively impacts the rest of the body
it impairs the functioning of the immune
system for example
making us more susceptible to infection
so make sure you always get enough sleep
so you can be productive every day you
did very well in our game
you sure have a very creative
imagination
let's try to look at the sentences we
came up with
if you put an ice cube under the sun it
melts
if it rains tomorrow i will bring an
umbrella
if i had a lot of money i would travel
the world
if only i had slept early last night i
could have gotten up early to prepare
breakfast for my family
notice that the word if is constantly
used in our sentences
it's as if a certain condition has to be
met right
that's because these sentences are
called
conditionals now you might be asking
what are those i'm sure you're already
excited to learn about conditionals
but hold your horses because before that
we will have a recap of what we have
discussed last time
can you still remember our previous
lesson
that's right we just finished talking
about the four functions of models
do you still remember what models are
great models are called auxiliary verbs
or helping verbs
that's because models give additional
information
about how the main verb functions in the
sentence
what about the four functions of models
that we've discussed in the previous
episodes
you are correct models can express
permission prohibition
obligation and no obligation
in expressing permission what model
should we use
right in expressing permission we use
the models can may
could and might
what about in prohibition
way to go in expressing prohibition
we use kent or mussen
can you still remember the models that
we can use to express
obligation excellent
we can use has or have to or must
in expressing an obligation or
commitment
and for the last one what should we use
in expressing no obligation
good one for this function we can use
the model
don't have to wow
it seems like you already know models
very well
i am glad you learned so many things
from our previous episodes
in the last episode we asked you to come
up with a short message to our fathers
the universal heroes and as we are
reading your works
dan and i found some great compositions
you guys really are amazing
thank you very much for participating in
our activity
as promised we will be reading out some
of the best ones we got from you
congratulations to miss faith gwinnel
lopez
she said in her output we hope you know
how blessed we are to have such a great
father like you
we know we can always lean on you
whenever we face a problem
sometimes things might get hard since
you are the head of the family
and i think this might be the most
difficult part of being a father
seeing your children grow you reminisce
the first time you held us in your big
hands
also we must say pi you're the best
you always share what you have and you
love us more than yourself
and even though we can't say it in front
of you at all times
we appreciate your sacrifices to our
family
if i get to choose in my second life i
will always choose you papa
that was so heartfelt faith she did very
well right
here's another one from mr adria larry
he said to our very loving father
no amount of gratitude or thanks can be
suitable form of payment for everything
that you have done
are doing and will continue to do for us
we might have grown to be adults but we
will never stop needing you
i can't imagine my life without my
parents
no words could ever describe how
grateful we are for having you as our
father
i must say you're the best dad ever i
love you daddy
good one adriel and for the last one
here's what miss haley salutario did for
the activity
we miss you when you are away for work
or even when we are just
under the same roof we miss you we
always yearn for you
maybe it's your absence that grows
inside of us
that's why no matter how near you are we
still feel like we are miles apart
but i know that it is much worse for you
it must be dreadful to be away from your
family to not be able to watch us grow
up
and for that we admire you thank you for
being so tough
daddy i am beyond grateful that you are
my father
we may not be vocal about this but if we
could speak
all the languages in the world we would
tell you
how much we love you in 7 000 ways
thank you very much for participating in
our activity guys
it is really nice to see that you were
able to come up with such
good sentences i'm sure there are more
wonderful works out there
keep it up remember
models may be tiny bits of words but in
the english language
these short words can have an effect on
the tone and meaning of our sentences
thus they can help you express your
ideas better
speaking of tiny words conditionals also
make use of
two short yet very important words
these words are if and when
that is because conditionals are
statements expressing the result
of a particular condition conditionals
are very common
we can hear it most of the time we read
them in books
hear them from some movies we watch and
we even hear them from the songs we
listen to
so if we start listening very well and
pay close attention
we can easily identify the conditionals
present around us
there are four types of conditionals we
have
the zero conditional the first
conditional
the second and third conditional
but hey don't worry we'll just focus on
the first one for now
the zero conditional
we'll talk about how we construct them
and more importantly
when should we use the zero conditional
in our conversations
the zero conditional it is also called
factual conditional because it is used
to express
truths and facts the things that are
real
happening and are existing around us
the zero conditional can also be used to
express
habits instructions
and rules
basically the zero conditional gives us
an if clause and a result clause that is
definitely going to happen because yes
that's just the way it is the result is
a fact or a general rule
for example if you heat water above 100
degrees celsius
it boils we can't change that
that's a fact the boiling temperature of
water is 100 degrees celsius
any temperature above that will surely
make it boil
it is a fact and we cannot change that
if the sun sets it gets dark
again it's a fact that's just the way it
is
if the sun sets in the west the lights
in our homes in the streets start to
turn on
since it will be very dark without them
if you freeze water it turns into ice
the result clause always shows what will
actually happen
if the condition in the if clause is met
notice that the sentences are made up of
clauses
let's call them the if clause
and the result clause let's try to take
a look at
how simple it is to form the zero
conditional
warning my next sentence is going to be
a bit
annoying simple because
it is simple because we use the present
simple verb
in both clauses right simple
now you might be asking why is it that
we can use
if or when in the if clause are they the
same
well they are almost the same however
there is a slight difference in how they
are used
and what they are trying to express
we use if when there is a chance that
the action
may or may not happen if it does happen
then we know what the result will be and
we are certain about it
if i drink coffee i feel awake
there is a chance that i will drink
coffee and if i do
i feel awake and alert i may drink
coffee
or not we use
when when we are sure that the action
will take place
when i drink coffee i feel awake
in this sentence we might not be sure
when the action will happen
but we know it will we know
that i am going to drink coffee it's
just that we are not sure when
will i drink a cup of coffee so yeah
you're right with what you are thinking
the difference is subtle
but i tell you it is important
here are more examples of zero
conditionals
if the power goes out you can't use the
wi-fi
when you eat spicy food you feel a
burning sensation in your mouth
plants die if they are not watered
as i have mentioned earlier in zero
conditionals
the verbs in both clauses are always in
the simple present tense
notice that in the last example the
result was placed before the f clause
don't worry the meaning of the sentence
remains the same
when we express habits using zero
conditionals
it goes like this when i feel sad
i sing a song this sentence shows that
whenever the speaker feels sad he has a
habit of singing a song
probably to release stress right do you
have the same habit
here's another one when my friends are
online
i say hello to them do you also have a
habit of randomly greeting your friends
online
it's nice right it always feels good to
know
that people are checking on you and
making sure you're okay
as i have mentioned a while ago zero
conditionals can also give
instructions if my mom calls
tell her to meet me at 5 pm
notice that the result clause becomes an
imperative statement
i am giving you an instruction i am
telling you what to do
if you need someone to talk to call me
this sentence tells us what to do
whenever we need someone to talk to
we call a friend and share our problems
with him or her
to lighten the load keep in mind
the true friends are not the ones who
will make your problems disappear
they are the ones who will not disappear
when you are facing a problem
also zero conditionals can express
rules you can enter them all
if you have a quarantine pass
students can borrow a book if they
present their library card
remember the f clause and the result
clause
are best friends as we can see in our
sentences
the two clauses are working with each
other
just like a quality of a good friendship
the fact written in the result clause
will surely happen
if a certain condition in the if clause
is met
did you get that i'm sure you did
remember conditionals can be used in
expressing stands or arguments
expressing an argument is helpful in
presenting one's reasoning to change
another person's point of view
on a particular topic or issue
conditionals may be helpful in
persuading others to move
or act and even change their thoughts
now for a short yet exciting activity
i will show you a zero conditional
sentence with the verbs inside a box
and then you will try to write down the
correct form of verb to be used in its
clause
the if clause and the result clause
you will then tell me whether the
sentence is state
fact a habit an instruction
or a rule you can write down your
answers in your notebook
i'll be giving you five seconds for each
sentence
ready let's go
number one here's the sentence
what form of listen and dance
should be used in our sentence
remember your subject-verb agreement
lessons
whenever my brother listens to a hip-hop
song
he dances to the beat
if your answer goes like this then you
are
correct we use the s form of the verb
since there is only one subject in our
sentence
now does this sentence express fact
habit instruction or rule
since it shows that he always dances to
the music
this falls under habit
i am sure you got that one right
the verbs in our sentence are already in
the right format
if you want to see the menu on the
screen
press this button twice
now what does it express
if you think this sentence is giving an
instruction
then you are right good one
let's try number three
this time we're talking about plants
what could be the right verb form for
this sentence
if plants do not get enough light they
die
did you get this right i'm sure you did
now is this a fact habit instruction or
rule
wonderful it is indeed a fact
most plants need light to produce their
food
as your science teacher said it is
called
photosynthesis
now let's move on to number four
this sentence talks about studying in
the library
how should the sentence be written
if you study in the library please stay
quiet
is this a rule yes that's right
this sentence expresses a rule and that
rule
is to always be quiet in the library
let's take a look at the last one number
five
this one is about phone courtesy
the verbs are ring and answer
if your answer is if the phone rings
answer politely then you got that right
what does it express
instruction it is very good
did you get all five items correctly
i'm sure you did good job on keeping up
with us up to this point
for your assignment i want you to
practice writing zero conditionals
try to talk about the things that are
really happening to you
and to the people around you
and that ends our episode today that was
a blast
i hope you had an amazing time with us
your english learning buddies
sir dj and dan
