INT C/D: Singing to Conditionals

Conditionals through song! LaLaLaLaLa

Barenaked Ladies- If I had a million dollars (2nd Conditional)


If I Had $1000000
I'd buy you a house
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy you furniture for your house
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy you a K-Car
If I Had $1000000
I'd buy your love






Beyoncé- If I were a boy (2nd Conditional)

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed




Adele- Rolling in the Deep (3rd Conditional)

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat
