Se fosse... a technique to make learning fun!

In order to grasp with ease and memorize the use of the subjunctive and conditional in hypothetical clauses, we often play an enjoyable game with students on image associations: “Se fosse”!
It requires two or more people.
One player thinks of a famous person, and the other players ask questions to determine who the student is thinking of, such as:
“se fosse un’automobile?” “se fosse un luogo?” “se fosse un abito?”
“Were it a car ... were it a place... were it a piece of clothing, what would it be?”

The first player must then answer the questions providing comparisons that would hint to guess the mysterious person: “sarebbe…”




After asking a few questions to guess the identity of the person, remembering the verb combination of imperfect subjunctive and present conditional will be just child’s play!
