Making decisions:
The best grammar forms to use in decision making are conditionals HERE and modal verbs HERE to be able to speculate about what might occur if you make a specific decision. Try to express your opinion HERE in different ways and give reasons for your answers using because/as/since (+ clause) and because of/owing to/on account of/due to (+ ing/noun).
Discuss the decision making situations for about 3 minutes with a partner:
