A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Prepare page 1 and reserve the suggested models. Responses can be invented; page 2 is not a single correct personal-answer key.
- Model If I had more free time, I would learn.... Explain that the past form marks an imagined situation, not a completed past event.
- Write complete responses to the ten questions, then discuss selected answers in pairs with reasons.
- Compare the form with the suggestions, noting If I were and could choose. Accept different reasonable choices.
Support and extension
Support with if-clause and result frames. Extend by contrasting a realistic future plan with a hypothetical one; financial and political answers need not be personal.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
