Use these task cards with your Adult ESL students to practice asking and answering questions using 4 types of Conditionals.
These cards are great to use with multi level classes ( They are easy to use because I’ve done all the hard work for you.
Included in this resource.
This resource includes a total of 176 cards
Version 1 = 88 black and white cards
Version 2 = 88 cards with colour borders
The colour cards look more attractive but I’m aware that not everyone has access to coloured ink, so I have provided 2 versions. Each version has the same prompts. The cards are organised in sets as follows:
Set 1 Zero conditional 16 cards
Set 2 First conditional 16 cards
Set 3 Second conditional 1 general questions 16 cards
Set 4 Second conditional 2 environment questions 16 cards
Set 5 Third conditional 24 cards
Please note that these cards can also be found (black and white version only) in each of my 3 conditional lessons.
Task cards are very versatile and an be used in a variety of ways in a classroom:
•To practice a grammar point/ target language that has been taught - in this case the present perfect tense
•As a warm up activity
•As a review of a previous lesson
•As a diagnostic tool for you
•To change the pace during the lesson and get the students talking
• Can be used with pairs or groups
This lesson prints to A4 paper and may have some UK/Australian spelling.

I use this lesson with a mixed ability Beginner Adult ESL class. It is an integrated reading and writing lesson on the topic of language learning needs. The concept of language learning needs is introduced by a short reading text. By using this lesson with your students you will help them to become active language learners as well as learn the language to talk about their studies in general. This will work as a Back to School activity or any other time. It will help you find out more about your students and their needs and expectations.
What’s included?
a reading text
3 x reading tasks of varying difficulty
Vocab related to language learning
Extension activities – grammar focus
Completing forms
Guided writing
This lesson can be used in several ways:
•with total beginners – supported by a lot of scaffolding by the teacher
•at the beginning of the year/course to help you learn more about your students
Using a Needs Analysis gives you, the teacher, an insight into what the students need to learn and how they prefer to learn. But more importantly it will help you plan appropriate and relevant lessons specifically for them. Additionally, adult students appreciate that you are taking the time to find out about them and their needs.
A Needs analysis is an important tool for all student centred Adult ESL classes. At beginner level it can be a bit tricky to obtain detailed information but with this highly structured and scaffolded resource you, the teacher, will be able to gain some valuable information about your students. At the same time your students will be learning some useful language and skills.
Like all my resources, this lesson is designed specifically for adults. It incorporates language that adults will need to use and situations that are relevant to adult learners.
This resource may include some Australian/UK language and prints to A4 paper.
If you want to expand on this lesson, I do have a much more difficult Intermediate level, Needs Analysis lesson , in my store. But it is quite a lot more difficult than this one.

This is a Bundle of 4 grammar focused lesson for Adult ESL students who are Intermediate level and above. If you need to teach Past Perfect Tense, Passive Voice, 2nd Conditional and 3rd Conditional to you adult ESL students, this bundle is for you.
These lessons are 4 of the most challenging grammar points that are taught at Intermediate level and above, both for students and teachers. The lessons are structured and with this step by step approach and detailed lesson notes and answer keys, I have made it easy for you to teach.
I suggest you begin with the Past Perfect Tense as that introduces past participles which are needed and reviewed in all the other lessons. All of the lessons have a grammar guide, written and spoken activities to practice the target language and many opportunities for differentiation.
Like all my resources, these lessons have been designed specifically for adults. They incorporate language that adults will need to use and situations that are relevant to adult learners.
