What would you do if you were omnipotent for a day? In this lesson, students will discuss hypothetical situations and things that are unlikely to happen. The lesson features a video from the popular TV show “Friends,” where a group discusses what they would do if they were omnipotent for a day. Students will learn and practice the second conditional, using adjectives as nouns, and relevant vocabulary. The lesson includes plenty of engaging discussion activities and worksheets developed for both adults and teenagers, ensuring an interactive and enjoyable learning experience.

Lesson Objectives

Grammar: Learners will practice using the second conditional to talk about hypothetical situations, like "If I were omnipotent, I would end world hunger." They will also learn how to use adjectives as nouns to describe groups of people, such as "the homeless," "the sick," and "the hungry."

Listening: Students will watch a video from the TV show Friends to improve their listening skills. They will focus on understanding how the second conditional and adjectives as nouns are used in a natural conversation about hypothetical scenarios.

Speaking: Students will participate in lively discussions about what they would do if they had omnipotent powers. This activity will help them build confidence and fluency while practicing the second conditional in a fun and imaginative way.

Vocabulary: The lesson introduces new words and phrases such as "omnipotent," "unlimited," "almighty." Through engaging activities, students will practice using these terms to describe hypothetical situations.

Homework: Students will reinforce their learning by completing exercises that involve matching statements to actions, correcting sentences that use the second conditional, and writing their own hypothetical scenarios. For example, they will fix sentences like "If I would be rich, I’d buy a car" to "If I were rich, I’d buy a car," and write ideas using phrases like "the hungry" or "the homeless." These tasks will help them practice the grammar and vocabulary they learned during the lesson.
