What is the difference between "submarine" and "submersible"?
6 answers from our tutors
The difference is a submarine has enough power to leave port and come back to port under its own power. A submersible has very limited power reserves so it needs a mother ship that can launch it and recover it.

A submarine is a ship that has the ability to operate underwater and primarily used in a country's navy. A submersable is an underwater vechicle that is a lot smaller than a submarine and used primarily for underwater research.

The best approach is to expose students to the what conditionals are through explanation. Explain all the types of conditionals providing examples for each. Then the details of the structure of each type of conditionals would better come last, then strengthen understanding by having the student produce written and spoken language. Lastly, expose them to more reading and real life listening examples regarding this, sometimesas homework. To gauge their understanding of the structure, give fill in exercises.
