Mixed conditionals

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering how those of you who are English teachers feel about teaching mixed conditionals?

I personally think it confuses students more than adding value to their understanding. What do others think?

If it does add value, why?

Thanks

  • Get your students to master the "normal" conditionals first.
  • Then move on to another topic or two, letting the lessons on those "normal" conditionals sink in for a while.
