CONDITIONALS IN SONGS
CONDITIONALS very often appear in songs. There are some examples you may find useful in learning these structures:
- If I were a boy (Beyoncé)
Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper)
Hero (Enrique Iglesias)
Count on me (Bruno Mars)
- California Dreaming (The mamas and Papas)
ACTIVITY. Listen to these songs. Then, choose three of them and find all the conditional sentences. You'll have to classify them into types.
