Grammar - Conditionals - Parts 5 and 6

Today, TP4 continued to learn about conditionals.  Students who missed today's class should go into the shared Google drive and read the PowerPoint to catch up.  We read Parts 5 and 6.  Students who missed today's class should do the homework exercises that are on the PowerPoint and can be accessed on englishpage.com.  Essentially, you should go to englishpage.com, go to the Conditionals section, and you should do exercises 10-12.

Next class: we will take a much-needed break from grammar and begin to look at Descriptive Writing.  The PowerPoint for this unit has already been uploaded onto the shared Google Drive.
