Si clauses/Spanish Conditional sentences: PowerPoint Presentation (in English)

Learning how to use si clauses is a great way for students to provide some interesting color to their spoken and written work. It shows the ability to use tenses in combination and to use tenses that would be difficult to fluently incorporate otherwise. They are a fantastic way for students to achieve bonus marks by providing that “wow” factor.

This Spanish grammar PowerPoint Presentation helps students understand how to use si clauses/conditional sentences, also known as the first conditional, second conditional, and third conditional.

Note for teachers
This resource is designed for students who are already familiar with the present, conditional, imperative, future, imperfect subjunctive and pluperfect subjunctive (past perfect subjunctive) tenses required to create these conditional sentences.

However, a brief recap is provided on how to form the imperfect subjunctive and also the pluperfect subjunctive/past perfect subjunctive.

Each one of the si clauses is treated separately, so you can use one or some of the si clauses if they are not all appropriate for the level you are teaching.

Notes on how to use (1) si + present, present, (2) si + present, future, (3) si + present, imperative, (4) si + imperfect subjunctive, conditional, and (5) si + pluperfect subjunctive, pluperfect subjunctive.

How to use this Spanish grammar resource

This PowerPoint can be used either either as a stand-alone resource or alongside the printable worksheets on Si clauses: Spanish grammar practice. The content is almost identical, but the worksheets are a perfect way for students to keep their own copy of the explanations and have a place for trying the exercises for themselves.

Students should be able to use dictionaries (either paper or online) to look up any vocabulary they need as the resource is focusing on grammar practice, not vocabulary-building.
