Unit 4 Learning efficientlyPart One: Teaching DesignPeriod 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language(Revise the Subjunctive Mood)AimsTo help students revise the Subjunctive MoodTo help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressionsTo help students discover and learn to use some useful structuresProceduresI. Warming up by learning to guessing the meaning of words from contextStudents should be encouraged to try to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words using clues in the context. These clues may be in the surrounding words. The text may provide a definition that explains the unfamiliar word, or it may give examples to illustrate the unfamiliar word. There may be connecting words used after the familiar word that indicate similarity or contrast. If the student is familiar with the item that is being compared or contrasted this should provide a clue to the unknown word. Another strategy is to break the word down into syllables. Sometimes knowledge of common roots and affixes or similarity to words in the students own language can help them guess the meaning of a particular word.II. Discovering useful words and expressionsTurn to page 35 and do the words and expressions exercises 1, 2 and 3.III. Revising the Subjunctive MoodThe Subjunctive MoodA verb is in the subjunctive mood when it expresses a condition which is doubtful or not factual. It is most often found in a clause beginning with the word if. It is also found in clauses following a verb that expresses a doubt, a wish, regret, request, demand, or proposal.These are verbs typically followed by clauses that take the subjunctive:ask, demand, determine, insist, move, order, pray, prefer, recommend, regret, request, require, suggest, and wish.In English there is no difference between the subjunctive and normal, or indicative, form of the verb except for the present tense third person singular and for the verb to be.The subjunctive for the present tense third person singular drops the -s or -es so that it looks and sounds like the present tense for everything else.The subjunctive mood of the verb to be is be in the present tense and were in the past tense, regardless of what the subject is.Incorrect: If I was you, I would run.Correct: If I were you, I would run.(The verb follows if and expresses a non-factual condition.)Incorrect: I wish he was able to type faster.Correct: I wish he were able to type faster.(The second verb is in a clause following a verb expressing a wish. It also suggests a non-factual or doubtful condition.)Incorrect: His requirement is that everyone is computer literate.Correct: His requirement is that everyone be computer literate.(Subordinate clause follows main clause with a demand.)Incorrect: He recommended that each driver reports his tips.Correct: He recommended that each driver report his tips.Sometimes we may use the conditional auxiliary verbs of could, should, or would to express the same sense.Subjunctive:I wish he were kinder to me.Conditional: I wish he would be kinder to me.Note: In modern English, the subjunctive is only found in subordinate clauses.Subjunctive formsubjunctive presentIf + s + verb word . , s + will + verb word .subjunctive pastIf + s + verb (past tense) . , s + would (should, could, might) + verb word .subjunctive past perfectIf + s + had + p.p . , s + would (should, could, might) + had + p.pMeaningsubjunctive presentreal possibility for futuresubjunctive pastnot real possibility ; opposite of present factsubjunctive past perfectopposite of past factIV. Revising useful structuresTo revise and consolidate your learning of the Subjunctive Mood please go to page 36 and do the three exercises.V. Closing down by reading more about the Subjunctive Mood1In Conditional Sentences (用于条件句中)虚拟语气用于非真实条件句时谓语动词的主要形式见下表：非真实条件句主 句与现在事实相反过去时（be用were）would 动词原形与过去事实相反过去完成时would have +过去分词与将来事实相反或推测A. 过去时（be用were）B. were to动词原形C. should动词原形would动词原形以上结构中，主句谓语动词除了用would外，有时还可用might或could，第一人称还可用should，但美国英语都用would。如果条件句的谓语中含有were, had或should时，有时可省略if而用把were, had或should放到主语之前的倒装句。现分别举例如下： 与现在事实相反If I knew French, I would read the book in the original.If I were (Were I) in your position I would tell her the truth. 与过去事实相反If you had (Had you) come a few minutes earlier, you would have caught the train. 与将来事实相反或表示推测If he came tomorrow, I might have time to see him.If it were (Were it) to rain next Sunday, the match would be postponed.If we should (Should we) fail again, we wouldnt lose courage.2In the That-Clauses (用于that从句中) wish 后的宾语从句a. 所希望的事与wish同时发生，从句用过去时，如：I wish you didnt smoke too much.b. 所希望的事在wish之前发生，从句用过去完成时，如：I wish I had paid more attention to my spelling.c. 所希望的事在wish之后发生，表示忠告或请求等，从句一般用would动词原形，如：He wishes we would help him in the work
