Greeting
T: Good morning, boys and girls. Just now, we watched the video from Running Man.
Step 1 Lead in---Subjunctive mood in If-clauses
T: Have you ever watched the show, Running Man , before? （点ppt）T: Do you enjoy it?
T: Me too. Well, good news for you! Running Man 3 is showing in Zhejinag TV.（点ppt）
T: Are you excited? Would you like to join?
T: If they invited you to the show, which team would you join? （点ppt）T: Why?
T: Good reason. So if they invited you to the show, you would choose Team A. Right?
T: If you were Dengchao, who would you choose as your team member? （点ppt）Please say the whole sentence. If I were.....
T: Why would you choose …?
T: Good（转向另一同学）
T: What about you? If you were Dengchao in Team A, who would you choose as your team member?（please say if I were…）
T: Very Good. (转向所有同学) But, class, is he Dengchao?
T: Of course not. He is not Dengchao, but our classmate. If I were Dengchao, it is not a fact. It’s just an imaginary situation.
T: But look, who is this man? Dengchao is the leader of Team A. So when Dengchao says if I am the team leader, I will choose Li Chen as my team member, it is a fact.
So when we talk about a fact, we say if I am… I will.【板书】
But when we talk about an imaginary situation or something unreal, we say If I were…I would….【板书】That’s what we call subjunctive mood，这就是英语中的虚拟语气。

虚拟语气用来表示说话人所说的话并不是事实，而是一种假设、愿望、怀疑或推测。

T: So, you see, the driver regrets doing a lot of things, Right? Now （点ppt）please watch a video and find out what’s the man’s regret? (He regrets not having come home to see his mom on time.)
If time could be turned back, what do you think he would do?
If time could be turned back, he would come back to be with his parents regularly.
Actually, in our daily life, we also have lots of regrets. Take me for example. I regret punishing one of my students last week because he didn’t hand in his homework in time. But later l learned that he was ill that day. If time could be turned back, I would have listened to his explanation. If I had listened to his explanation, I would not have punished him.Can you read the rest for me?
If I were to punish a student in the future, I would calm down and listen to his explanation.
T: What about you, class? Have you ever regretted doing sth? (for example regret buying sth in Taobao, regret quarreling with your friends or parents. Or regret not studying hard for an exam…) yes or no? What would you do if time could be turned back?
Now please work in groups of four, sharing your regrets and wishes with each other. You can use the handout as a guide.
