possibilities or hypothetical situations. There are four types of
conditional sentences.

o If we burn paper, it becomes ash.


o I feel sick if I eat too much.
o If you don’t brush your teeth, you get cavities.

o If I meet him, I will introduce myself.


o I will cook dinner tonight if you clean the house.
o If you rest, you will feel better.
o If you set your mind to a goal, you will eventually achieve it.
o If it rains, I will stay at home.
o If he gives her chocolate, she will be happy.
o If it doesn’t rain, we will go to the library.

 The second conditional is used for unlikely or hypothetical scenarios.


Example: If I won a million dollars, I would travel the world.

o If I inherited a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon.


o If I owned a zoo, I might let people interact with the animals
more.
o If I were you, I would continue my study.
o If I had time, I would go with you.
o If she met her mother, she would be very happy.
o If it rained tomorrow, I would sleep all day.
o If I were you, I’d tell him the truth.

 The third conditional is used for unreal or hypothetical situations in the


past. Example: If they had prepared better, they would have won the
match.

 If you had remembered to invite me, I would have attended your


party.
 If I had locked the car, the thief wouldn’t have stolen my car.
