Mixed conditionals are not any more difficult than other grammar topics, and as Riverkid says, you can't do without them, they are very common.
If a native speaker doesn't know grammar terms it's of no importance. But how can you teach ESLs without naming certain structures and patterns? I don't see the point of your argument. |
Hi, Humble!
For me only little children are kids while I'm teaching. Children who are 13-19 are teenagers.Do you want me to tell you how we call people when they grow older and older. Of course we are all kids for our parents. As to naming certain structures and patterns different authors have different names for them. I don't see any point of argument either.
