students understand each point... For example ask “do we use the zero conditional to talk about

things that are true or that we think will happen”.. “When do we use the zero conditional”?

Ask another student to read the form for the zero conditional and one of the examples.

Do the rest of the examples together with the class and make sure to point out ‘present simple verbs’

Conditionals

Sometimes we call them 'if clauses'.

The Zero Conditional:

Use This conditional is used when the result will always happen. So, if water

reaches 100 degrees, it always boils. It's a fact.

It is used for giving advice, instructions or describing situations which are

always true. It can also be used to persuade.

The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing

the meaning.

Form

(if + present simple, ... present simple)

If-clause Result clause

If you do an English course, you improve your English

Zero conditional sentences have two clauses. The if-clause begins with if. The second clause is the result clause.

Result clause If-clause

You get fit if you do exercise

The result clause can go in front of the if-clause. In this case, no comma is necessary.

If people eat too much, they _______fat.

If you ________a fire, you ______ burned.

If People _______ if they don't eat.

When spring ________ the flowers blooms.

The Second Conditional:

The second conditional talks about things that I don't think will really happen. It's subjective; it depends on my point of view.

The Second Conditional:

(if + past simple, ... would + infinitive)

* If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world. If I won the lottery, I _______________a big house.

If I met the Queen of England, I _________________.

She would travel all over the world ______________ rich.

The second conditional can also be used to talk about something in the

present which is impossible, because it's not true. For example giving

advice like this:

If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man. (I don't have his

number now, so it's impossible for me to call him).
