1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Reason for choosing the topic
English, an international language, has been a compulsory subject at high
schools in Vietnam in the past few years.

1.4. Research methods
Research, collect various types of objective test and how to do them. Through

2.1 THEORETIC BASIS OF THE TOPIC
When teaching grammar about conditional sentences I always think how do
students understand and distinguish between types of conditional sentences and
how to do exercises related to high achieving conditional sentences such as what
kind of condition is it ?; what kind of tenses must the verbs be divided ?; when
we use conditional type 1,2,3, mix conditional sentences, inverse conditional
sentences, replacing if in conditional sentences ?
2017 is the third years MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING
continues to intergrate college entrance exam and high school graduation in to
one. It makes my students more difficult in formatting conditional types
especially in difficult form. Moreover, according to traditional teaching –
learning methods, students just passively listen and note down.so grammar
lessons become very boring. However, the new text book program nowadays
learner is center .students can be ability to think, be creative and active.
So I boldly introduce some forms of conditional recognition and some types of
exercises to help them consolidate grammar and practice effectively to achieve
high results in the exam.
