Designed to move Higher-tier students beyond basic use, this worksheet helps learners manipulate the conditional with greater confidence, vary their language, and produce more fluent, extended responses. This works well for classwork, homework or revision when consolidating the conditional and stretching Higher students.

This worksheet is designed for Higher-tier students, while the accessible version linked below is specifically tailored to Foundation students.

I hope you find it useful.
