Recently, one of my teenage B1 students said ‘ If you *will buy it now, you will get a free leather wallet’. In the same lesson, the same student said’ I should have given you my homework earlier but I forgot’. It is interesting how the same student who successfully attempted a rather complex structure she had not yet been taught, is, at the same time, not able to produce a comparatively ‘easier’ 1st conditional sentence without making a classic mistake. It obviously means that the student needs more practice with future clauses, but it does not mean that she is not ready for a much complex language.

I am looking forward to the live session tomorrow!
