Grammar: second conditional = present/future unreal conditional

If we warmed it up and threw in some seeds, plants would grow there.
But if I were an astronaut, I wouldn’t be happy about the six-month journey.

if + [past (without “was”)], would/could/might + base form
or
would/could/might + base form + if + [past (without “was”)]

In formal speaking and writing, we use “were” for all subjects in 2nd conditional if-clauses.

1st: If you give me money, I will buy a house. (maybe you will give me money)
2nd: If you gave me money, I would buy a house. (I don’t think you will give me money)

I could buy a house. = I would have the ability to buy a house. (I would have enough money.)
	(This doesn’t tell you anything about my decision. It’s only about my ability.)

I might buy a house. = Maybe I would buy a house, but I’m not sure about my decision.
---
part 10 - In pairs, complete the second conditional questions, and then answer them with information from the reading.
1 had, would be - change the atmosphere
2 would it take - six months
3 Would it be - yes
4 would happen, melted - The carbon dioxide would be released.
5 would the temperature change, increased - The temperature would go up.
6 could we learn - We could learn how to manage our limited Earth better.

Imagine that you are going to move somewhere else (on Earth) to live for the rest of your life.
Where would you go? What five things would you bring in a backpack? Why?
(Travel is already taken care of; you don’t need to include money, passport, tickets, etc. in your 5 things.)

Wordbuilding: nouns -> adjectives with -ful and -less
useful / useless
helpful / helpless
hopeful / hopeless
careful / careless
cheerful / cheerless

[noun]ful = with a lot of [noun] / full of [noun]
[noun]less = without [noun]

beautiful / -
successful / -
wonderful / -

- / homeless
- / wireless
- / airless
- / sunless (“sunful” doesn’t exist because we already have “sunny” = “with a lot of sun”)
- / sugarless (“sugary” exists)

These are productive suffixes. = You can add them to create new words that people will understand.

illness = sickness or disease, especially from bacteria and viruses
injury = damage to your body, caused by an accident or violence
Have you ever had a serious illness or injury? What happened?

p. 124 part 1 - Write the things that can cause each type of injury, and also add one or two of your own ideas.
allergic reactions: eating the wrong food, insect bites and stings, medicine, flowers, animals, air pollution, cosmetics, minerals in water, sun, alcohol, silver and other metals
cuts: blades and knives, scissors, paper, glass, grass, sharp metal, hair, rocks
bruises: running into things, falling, stubbing your toe, fighting
sprains and breaks: falling off something, tripping or falling, car accident, extreme sports, fighting, climbing (and then falling)

Other types of injuries: burns (from heat, cold, or chemicals), scrapes (from sliding on something rough)
---
part 3 - Listen to the conversations and write the type of injury each expression is about.
part 4 - Listen again. Which conversation includes each piece of advice? (Also: how did the man get the cut?)

“It might be worth getting it looked at.”
“worth” is a preposition in this sentence, so it is followed by the gerund of the verb
