THE CONDITIONALS

What do you know about conditionals?
I don't know much about conditionals, but I think they need to use "If" in their structure.

What woul you like to know about conditionals?
I'd like to know everithing about conditionals: when I used them, how their structure is.

3.  Answer these questions in your post:
  a.  What is a conditional?

 A conditional is what we use when we need to express that the action in the main clause can only take place if a certain condition is fulfilled.

  b.  When do we use a conditional?
A conditional is used when we need to express general truths, things which may happen, things which are unreal and  to talk about unreal situations in the past, that is, things which did not happen in the past.

c.  How many types of conditionals are there?
In the video are four types of conditionals: Conditional Zero, conditional I, conditional II and conditional III.

My vacations of Holy Week



What I did on Holy Week

This Holy week wasn't vacations at all to me, I had to work from Monday to Thursday, the rest of the weekend I decided to stay at home, these days I got up late, got together with my relatives and my boyfriend, ate a lot of fish, did homeworks and watched religious movies.

Actually I’m  a catholic person so there were some things I couldn’t do like go to a party, drink beer, listen to music loud, so on, I think  Holy Week  is a week to reflect  therefore I went to my neighbor’s church with my parents and brothers, I watched movies like José and The passion of the Christ.

Also I had time to share with my friends,  I got out with Cristina, she is an old friend, I hadn’t seen her  for a long time so we met on the  shopping center near to my house, we talked for hours, ate an ice cream we really had a great time.



I almost forgot to do homeworks, to tell the truth I waited until the weekend to do them,    so I did some tasks and in the Sunday evening I went to the cinema with my boyfriend, we watched Hansel y Gretel: Witch hunters, it was an interesting film we didn’t think it was a good movie, I really like it, although I couldn’t travel, this Holy week was nice to me.
