This Spanish grammar practice resource helps students understand how to use the si clauses: conditional sentences, also known as the first conditional, second conditional, and third conditional. Note for teachers This resource is designed for students who are already familiar with the present, conditional, imperative, future, imperfect subjunctive and pluperfect subjunctive (past perfect subjunctive) tenses required to create these conditional sentences. However, each one of the si clauses is treated separately, so you can use one or some of the si clauses if they are not all appropriate for the level you are teaching. Learning how to use si clauses is a great way for students to provide some interesting color to their spoken and written work. It shows the ability to use tenses in combination and to use tenses that would be difficult to fluently incorporate otherwise. They are a fantastic way for students to achieve bonus marks by providing that “wow” factor. What does the resource include? Overview of si clauses and how they work. Guided notes on how to use (1) si + present, present, (2) si + present, future, (3) si + present, imperative, (4) si + imperfect subjunctive, conditional, and (5) si + pluperfect subjunctive, pluperfect subjunctive.

This** Spanish-English Glossary** of Réquiem por un campesino español helps students to understand the text as they read it. The Glossary first lists the words in the order that they appear in the text (without repeating them). This means it can be used with any edition. It then lists the words** in alphabetical order** for when students are dipping in and out of the book. This Glossary is 19 pages in all. It provides a translation that is relevant to the text. Intermediate-level words are omitted as they are likely to be known already to students. Some words that do not have a straightforward translation are omitted from the glossary, but every attempt has been made to provide a translation where possible. This resource will bring relief to students who find it very frustrating to look up unknown words in a dictionary. The Glossary will massively reduce the amount of time it takes to look up words and will help students stay motivated. For more resources on this Spanish novel, have a look at my in-depth PowerPoint Presentation and my fun Escape Room Activity. For an understanding of the context of the Spanish Civil War and the events leading up to it, my Summary of the Spanish Civil War will help students enormously.
