What if God was one of us?

An interesting question, isn't it? This is the title of a song by Joan Osborne that really moves me whenever I listen to it but this title also made me think about second conditional sentences (a tendency to see everything from a professional point of view, you know). So I decided to create a gap-fill activity that you can do below. Click the KEY to check your answers.

If you want to get further practice on the pronunciation and use of "would", why don't you try and meet Justin, an Australian student, and Kylie, an American teacher?

First, repeat what Justin says paying attention to the pronunciation of "would".

Then, listen to Kylie's answers to some questions and say the questions. You will listen to them after a few seconds to check if you were right.
