WHAT IS IT
Conditionals are sometimes called "if" clauses. They describe the result of something that might happen or might have happened but didn't. They are made using different English verb tenses. There are two kinds of conditional sentences in English: Real and Unreal.
o REAL CONDITIONALS describe real life situations.
The Zero Conditional/ Present Real Conditional
(if/when+simple present,...simple present)
If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.
The First Conditional/ Future Real Conditional (if+present simple,...will+infinitive)
If it rains tomorrow, we will go to the cinema.
The Second Conditional/ Present Unreal Conditional
➢ (if+past simple,...would+infinitive)
If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
The Third Conditional/ Past Unreal Conditional
➢ (if+past perfect,...would+have+past participle) If I had gone to bed early, I would have caught the train.
Page 13
TAKING IT SLOW...
Conditionals has 4 types:
1. Zero Conditional The zero conditional is used to describe something that is always true. The two parts that make up the zero conditional sentence have the same tense: simple present.
if + present
simple (conditional clause) Present simple (main clause)
If I mix yellow with blue, I get green.
If you draw back the curtains, you let the sunlight in.
The positions of the two clauses above are not fixed. In other words, they can change places.
present simple if + present simple
I get green if I mix yellow with blue.
You let the sunlight in if you draw back the curtains.
When/whenever can be used instead of if.
Examples:
o If/When I mix yellow with blue, I get green.
We can use the past simple instead of the present simple as above. The past simple must be used in both clauses.
Examples:
o If he called her, she always said she was busy.
o If I bet on a horse, the horse often came last.
Page 14
2. First Conditional
In this type 1 first conditional, the simple present tense is used in the if-clause, and the tense in the main clause is the simple future tense.
'If' Clause Main Clause
If + simple present tense Simple future tense
If you leave now, you'll arrive home early.
This conditional shows the outcome (you’ll arrive home early) if the condition is fulfilled (if you leave now). We use this conditional when the situation in the if-clause appears likely or there is a possibility of it happening.
We can turn the two clauses the other way round so that their positions are reversed as follow:
Simple future tense if + simple present tense
You'll arrive home early, if you leave now.
Whether the if-clause or the main clause comes earlier, both are acceptable.
The first conditional sets up a present condition and a probable future outcome. Examples:
o If you go with me, I will pay for your fare. (If the condition in the if-clause is fulfilled, the action in the second clause will happen, that is I will pay for your fare.)
o If I see him tomorrow, I will tell him the good news. o If the weather remains fine, we will go to the beach. o If you continue to feel better, you will be out of the hospital soon.
We may use going to in the first conditional to refer to a future event.
o If she passes her driving test, we are going to celebrate at a good restaurant.
o If you don’t hurry, we are going to be blacklisted for being late.
Page 15
First conditional and modal verb.
Modal verbs may be used in the first conditional. The modal verbs have a future meaning and so are used instead of the future tense in the main clause, not in the conditional clause
Conditional Clause Main Clause
If + simple present tense can/could; will/would;
may/might; shall/should
If the weather improves, we will go to the park.
The modal verbs are used in type 1 conditional sentences to express willingness, possibility, permission, and suggestion.
Examples:
o If the movie is boring, we can always leave. (Willingness)
o If you help me with this, I could finish it earlier. (Possibility)
o If she is angry with you, I would ask her why. (Permission)
o If you are in a hurry, you may leave now. (Permission)
o If we save enough money, we might visit you next year. (Possibility)
o If he drives faster, we shall arrive there before dark. (Possibility)
o If we want to get there on time, we should take a taxi. (Suggestion)
