A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the exhibition-entrance problem and identify the actual events behind each conditional.
- Complete the ticket/guard gaps and transform late departure, missing requests and incorrect conditional forms.
- Write three alternative past outcomes and discuss a small mistake or successful choice with a partner.
Support and extension
Accept full forms and either clause order; had left on time is a valid alternative to earlier. Might/could changes certainty or possibility; do not require personal regret.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
