● Students will converse with each other in group activities.
Level of Class: pre-intermediate) Lesson Objectives: ● Students will write predictions using the First Conditional and
Teenagers (14-16 years old) share them with the whole class.
● Students would already know the present simple, present
continuous, and past simple for common verbs, and would be familiar

negative form, etc.
● It is safe, however, to assume that a few of the students will
have heard the first conditional form, so I will be able to elicit the
target language from them.
1. The use of subject pronouns: the subject pronoun in Spanish
sentences is often omitted. The reason is that the conjugation of
Spanish verbs is enough to show the person (first, second, or third
Length of Lesson: 60 mins Anticipated Problems: person) and number (singular or plural) of the subject. Therefore, the

, through repetition, until they master automaticity as a skill.
2. Pronunciation: they will say B instead of V: I visit sounds I
bisit.
3. The structure of the future tense in Spanish is different: there
is no auxiliary, and certain endings are added to the infinitive of the
verb compared to the English form: the auxiliary verb will + infinitive.
They might forget to add WILL and just use the infinitive because it
sounds similar to their mother tongue.
4. Another word which can cause problems is the verb hacer
which means both make and do, with the result that Spanish speakers
can confuse the two and use them interchangeably. This can lead to
sentences such as I will make my homework.
