Extract

This unit introduces the conditional and the conditional perfect tenses, the forms of which are built on those of the future tense. These tenses allow students to describe hypothetical places and put themselves in hypothetical situations, saying what they would have done. The presentation of the passive voice, and how to avoid it in Spanish, provides extra tools to help students when expressing themselves. A linkage between a recipe, a humorous poem and historical racial issues in Spain provides interest and serious cultural comment. The complications posed by phrasal verbs and the differences between the use of prepositions with verbs in Spanish and English are highlighted.
