Back from a long break...
What's a conditional hunt? Well, in this blog, it is an activity that consists in finding as many conditional clauses as possible in one single video. The function of conditional clauses and hypothesis here, particularly at the end of the video, is to try to explain a concept in terms that we can understand. Given that the size of the universe is impossible for us to picture, Pete Edwards of the University of Durham resorts to an imaginary situation:
Supposing our galaxy were the size of a grain of sand, how big would the universe be?
So, let's open our ears! Go to the link above and try to find as many conditionals as possible! The solution, coming up in the comments. But don't forget to contribute with your own comments, telling us how many you found!
A nice idiomatic expression to start the video : "you'll never get your head around how big the universe is"
to get your head (a)round something: to be able to understand or accept something (OALD)
