38 B1 | 5. Klasse | Unit 08: Rules – make or break? Linking ideas: Ivan uses linking words to connect the ideas in his email. They have been underlined for you. Sort them into the categories below. 6 Writing tip When you tell a story, you have to guide your readers through it and make it easy for them to follow what you are saying. This is what linking words are for. They are like signposts for your readers. Conditional clauses: Imaginary situations in the past Study the Grammar reminder, then complete Keith’s reply to Ivan with the correct form of the verbs in brackets. LANGUAGE 7 Grammar reminder When you talk about things that could or should have gone differently in the past (‘unreal/ imaginary past’), you use this structure: If + past perfect would/could/might + have + past participle If Ivan had known that jogging was prohibited, he would/could/might have walked slowly. This structure indicates that something didn’t happen in the past (Ivan didn’t know that jogging was prohibited) and allows you to talk about imaginary consequences. (If he had known that jogging was prohibited, he would have walked slowly – but he didn’t know, so he ran fast.). Time and sequence: linking words that tell us in what order things happened Reason: linking words that tell us why something happened Contrast: linking words that show that two ideas are different Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
