p. 120 - Would you move to Mars if you had the opportunity?
Grammar: second conditional = present/future unreal conditional

form: if + [past (without “was”)], subj + would/could/might + base form
	If I were rich, I would travel.
	If it were warmer, I would go swimming.
	If he were at home, he would answer the door.
	If I had more money, I would travel.
I’m not rich, so I don’t travel. / It’s not warmer, so I won’t go swimming. / He isn’t at home, so he won’t answer the door.

I would travel. = 100% chance. That’s definitely what I would do.
I might travel. = That’s one of the things I might do, but I’m not sure about it. Maybe I would buy a big house instead.
I could travel. = I would be able to travel. (This doesn’t tell you if I have any interest in traveling.)

(“might” and “could” mean different things for people doing actions they can choose. If it’s a sentence about the weather or something, they have more or less the same meaning.)

If I had money, I would/might travel. = I don’t have money, so I won’t travel.
If I had money, I could travel. = I don’t have money, so I can’t travel.
---
p. 121 part 10 - Complete the sentences with the correct forms of the verbs. Then look at the text about Mars to find the answers.
1 had, would be
2 would it take
3 Would it be
4 would happen / might happen, melted
5 would...change, increased
6 would we learn
---
As you can see in sentences 2 and 3, we often leave out the if-clause when it’s understood.
“What would you do with a million dollars?” = If you had a million dollars, what would you do?
---
If you had to move to a new place to live for the rest of your life, and you could only bring one backpack of things (a “personal item” to fit under the seat in front of you on the plane), where would you go and what would you bring?
Discuss in groups of 3.

Grammar: defining relative clauses
clause = a group of words with a subject and verb
relative - they have meaning relative to another word in the sentence
(These are sometimes called adjective clauses, because they give information about a noun.)
defining = We need this information in order to understand the meaning of the whole sentence.
	(The clause defines (or identifies or restricts) the meaning of the noun.)

All of my students who do their homework every week are great.
= Some of my students do their homework every week. Those students are great.
	(This is defining. The relative clause specifies which students I’m talking about.)

All of my students, who do their homework every week, are great.
= All of my students are great. Also, all of my students do their homework.
	(This is non-defining. The commas mean it’s extra information that doesn’t change the meaning of the rest of the sentence.

he/who
him/whom
his/whose
---
which - thing or things
who - person or people
(whom - person or people, as the object of a verb or preposition)
that - thing or things or person or people (can replace “which”, “who”, or “whom”, when it’s the first word of a clause with no commas)
whose - possessives (of people or things)
where - location (or to replace “in which”, even when it’s a thing rather than a place)
when - time
why - reason
---
p. 119 part 7 - Write the correct relative pronouns to complete each sentence.
1 who/that
2 who/that
3 which/that
4 when
5 where (to which)
6 whose

This is the tree whose leaves are shaped like stars. (its -> whose)
Whose leaves are shaped like stars? = What person has leaves shaped like stars?
---
This is the man who writes good books. (He writes good books.)
This is the man whose books I bought. (I bought his books.)
---
- If it is not the subject of the relative clause, “that” can be removed.
“Amanda Kitts is learning to do things (that) we take for granted.”
