Range — 5 marks
- A Type 1 conditional (إِذَا + past → سَـ) — one mark.
- A Type 2 conditional (لَوْ + past → لَـ) — a second, separate mark.
- Past perfect (كَانَ قَدْ), reported speech with a verb other than قَالَ, and a tourism verb (يَسْتَقْطِبُ / يُبْهِرُ).
Accuracy — 5 marks
- The Type 2 لَـ prefix in the result clause (2 marks — the primary criterion).
- Past-perfect كَانَ / كَانَتْ agreement (2 marks).
- Reported speech إِنَّ after قَالَ, أَنَّ after other verbs (1 mark).
Role play — communication and accuracy — 4 marks
- Communication (2): all four prompts are addressed clearly and relevantly.
- Accuracy (2): يَحْجِزُ / يُقِيمُ past forms in prompt 3 and the Type 1 recommendation are formed correctly.
- The destination is described with يَسْتَقْطِبُ or يَتَمَيَّزُ بِـ.
Topic conversation — communication and quality of language — 6 marks
- Communication (3): answers are developed with point, reason and example.
- Quality of language (3): the past perfect (Q1), a Type 1 conditional (Q2) and a Type 2 conditional (Q3) all appear and are accurate.
- Q3 opens with لَوْ; a student who answers with إِذَا is avoiding the conditional — record it and note the missed mark.
Accuracy focus
Choose إِذَا for a realistic condition and لَوْ … لَـ for a hypothetical condition.
