Diese Vokabelkarten helfen dabei, englische Bedingungssätze und unrealistische Vergangenheitsformen zu meistern, ideal für Schülerinnen und Schüler der Sekundarstufe. Sie decken alle Konditional-Typen ab, von realen bis zu unwahrscheinlichen Situationen, und enthalten Ausdrücke wie *wish*, *would rather* oder *it’s time*. Mit Beispielen zu "If I had asked..." oder "Supposing you won..." trainiert man sowohl die Bildung als auch das Verständnis. Das System unterstützt auch das Rückwärtslernen von der Zielsprache zur Ausgangssprache. Besonders nützlich ist es für Lernende auf mittlerem Niveau, die ihre Grammatikkenntnisse festigen möchten.
