Progression P3 — Travel, Holidays and Transport
Read travel texts closely (R1–R4) and use conditional type — إِذَا (real) versus لَوْ (counterfactual) — as a signal of the writer's attitude.

قِرَاءَةُ الشَّرْطِ لِفَهْمِ المَوْقِفِ
A reading toolkit: classify conditionals by particle, read the writer's attitude from the type, and match result markers in a gap.
What does the structure communicate?
Which word or ending changes?
What must match the noun or person?
Can you use it with new vocabulary?
Type 1: a real recommendation.
Type 2: implicit criticism.
Naming the R3 inference.
إِذَا (real) · لَوْ (hypothetical)
The particle fixes whether the case is real or counterfactual.
Type 2 → implicit criticism
A counterfactual implies the condition was not met, hinting at criticism.
إِذَا … سَـ · لَوْ … لَـ
The gap's marker must fit the conditional type.
يَدُلُّ عَلَى · يَكْشِفُ عَنْ
Use precise verbs to state what the text shows.
| Particle | Type | Signals |
|---|---|---|
| إِذَا | Type 1 (real) | a genuine possibility / recommendation |
| لَوْ | Type 2 (hypothetical) | a counterfactual / implicit criticism |
| سَـ result | Type 1 | pairs with إِذَا |
| لَـ result | Type 2 | pairs with لَوْ |
إِذَا (Type 1) means the writer sees the case as a real possibility — often a recommendation: إِذَا زُرْتَ الأُرْدُنَّ، لَنْ تَنْدَمَ. لَوْ (Type 2) means a counterfactual, often an implicit criticism: لَوْ زَارَ المُسَافِرُونَ المَوَاقِعَ بِأَعْدَادٍ أَقَلَّ، لَكَانَتْ حَالَتُهَا أَفْضَلَ.
A سَـ result belongs to a real إِذَا conditional; a لَـ result belongs to a counterfactual لَوْ conditional. In a gap-fill, match the result marker to the particle: إِذَا … سَـ, لَوْ … لَـ.

The guided builder develops flexible sentence construction. The three independent tasks then test different skills: grammatical transformation, meaning and coherence, and original sentence production.
Combinatorial builder studio
This guided builder accepts 27 accurate combinations. Build 3 different sentences, changing one meaningful chunk each time. Compare the grammar and meaning before moving to the independent tasks.

Match the counterfactual marker
Repair the result marker for a counterfactual لَوْ conditional.لَوْ حَجَزْتَ مُبَكِّرًا، سَتُوَفِّرُ المَالَ.
لَوْ … لَـA counterfactual لَوْ conditional takes a لَـ result.

إِذَا حَجَزْتَ مُبَكِّرًا، سَتُوَفِّرُ المَالَ.
A real إِذَا conditional takes a سَـ result, not لَـ.
لَوْ حَجَزْتَ مُبَكِّرًا، سَتُوَفِّرُ المَالَ.
لَوْ حَجَزْتَ مُبَكِّرًا، لَوَفَّرْتَ المَالَ.
A counterfactual لَوْ conditional takes a لَـ result.
