Practise third conditional sentences using events from Tudor history. Then write your own Tudor "What if?" paragraph.
Free Year 7 English grammar practice: third conditional sentences from Tudor history, plus a Tudor 'What if?' short writing task.
Rewrite each pair of sentences as a Type 3 conditional. Use the structure: If + past perfect, … would have + past participle.
Type 3 = imaginary past: something that did NOT happen.
Structure: If + subject + had + past participle, subject + would have + past participle.
Example: "Drake did not give up. He sailed around the world."
→ "If Drake had given up, he would not have sailed around the world."
Choose one event from Tudor history and write a "What if?" paragraph (60–100 words). Use at least three Type 3 conditional sentences.
Some ideas: What if Henry VIII had stayed Catholic? · What if the Armada had won? · What if Drake had not sailed around the world? · What if Elizabeth I had married?
Your paragraph should include: 3+ Type 3 conditionals · a brief explanation of what really happened · your opinion of how history would have been different.
