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. What does this grammar PowerPoint include? Overview of si clauses and how they work. 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.
