Possibility, hypothesis and advice: guided B1 to B2 practice

The real-world purpose of this module

Possibility, hypothesis and advice moves from controlled examples to independent use under time or audience pressure. The opening lesson focuses on this outcome: Builds first-conditional and when/unless sentences about real plans. The checkpoint asks for this wider result: Passes a 9-item quiz; records one 2-minute hypothetical answer, counts conditionals used. Keep your first attempt so you can compare clarity, accuracy and control at the end.

Level: B1 to B2. This module contains 6 connected lessons. Follow the order when the topic is new, or use the lesson map to repair one specific gap.

The lesson map

What useful practice looks like

• If it rains, we stay home: real conditions: Builds first-conditional and when/unless sentences about real plans.
• If I had more time: unreal present: Talks about unreal present situations and their imagined results.
• Must be, might be, can't be: reading the situation: Speculates about present evidence with graded certainty.

Use true information where possible. A sentence about your own routine, work or plans is easier to remember than a sentence copied from a model.

A study routine for Possibility, hypothesis and advice

1. Read the outcome for If it rains, we stay home: real conditions before the examples.
2. Say or write one model, then change at least two details.
3. Complete the quiz before opening its answer panels.
4. Use the module checkpoint to produce Checkpoint: possibilities on the record independently.
5. Return only to the lesson that matches the error you found.

How the lessons work together

Possibility, hypothesis and advice is a sequence, not a folder of unrelated pages. If it rains, we stay home: real conditions establishes the first usable move. Later lessons add control, choice and time pressure. Checkpoint: possibilities on the record asks you to combine the module without copying an answer.

• If it rains, we stay home: real conditions: Builds first-conditional and when/unless sentences about real plans
• If I had more time: unreal present: Talks about unreal present situations and their imagined results
• Must be, might be, can't be: reading the situation: Speculates about present evidence with graded certainty
• Advice without lecturing: Gives advice in four frames of increasing softness, chooses by relationship

Keep one piece of evidence from the first lesson and improve the same piece at the checkpoint. That comparison shows more than a quiz score because it records what changed in your own language.

Use Possibility, hypothesis and advice beyond the course

After the checkpoint, change one variable: the listener, purpose, channel or time pressure. Keep the central meaning from What would you do? Speaking with hypotheticals while adapting the delivery. This shows whether the language is available outside the model.

If the result becomes unclear, compare it with the outcome for the exact lesson involved. Correct that gap instead of restarting unrelated work.

How to know you are ready to continue

Do not judge readiness by reading speed. You are ready when you can complete the checkpoint task with a clear message, understandable language and no copied answer. A small number of errors is normal at B1 to B2; errors should not hide your meaning.

If the checkpoint is difficult, repeat the lesson whose outcome matches the problem. That is faster than restarting the whole module.
