1. “RUDE” (Magic) Age: Teens & Adults Grammar Focus: First Conditionals

2. NOTE FOR THE TEACHER: The song “ RUDE” doesn´t have the first conditional but can be used for that purpose, so you can show students the slide with the lyrics but you don´t necessarily need photocopies. This activity is supposed to be assigned after students practiced the FIRST CONDITIONAL long enough, so that they perform the task well. You can use it as a wrap-up activity if you will.
