A review of unit 3: the present simple for timetables, very / really / absolutely, the past perfect, narrative tenses and the second conditional, met again in Tatiana's voice message from a snowed-in airport. Mixed practice that makes you choose between the five, and the story of a weekend of your own that needs all of them.

Free, no card needed. The PDF has every slide, the homework and an answer key.
