If Conditionals

This document discusses different types of conditional sentences in English: 1. Zero conditional sentences use the present simple tense to talk about general facts or habits (e.g. "If it's hot, I go to the beach"). 2. First conditional sentences use the present simple and future tense to talk about possible or likely future events (e.g. "If you don't eat now, you'll be hungry later"). 3. Second conditional sentences use the past simple and conditional tense to talk about unlikely or hypothetical scenarios (e.g. "If she lived in London, she would have English friends"). 4. Third conditional sentences use the past perfect and conditional perfect

Explanation
If Conditionals are conditional sentences or expressions in English that explain that a situation
depends on another stuation.

We use conditional sentences to explain :


1. What actually happens
2. What could happen
3. What we wish would happen
4. What might Have happened

In all conditional sentences we have an “If” clause and a result clause. Example :
If, I got sick, I would go to the doctor
[‘If’ Clause] [result clause]

01.Zero Conditional
{IF/WHEN + present simple, present simple} - IF this happens, this IS the result
IF (there is a chance)
WHEN (we are certain)

The zero conditional is also called the factual or the real conditional. We can use it to talk about :
1. Thruts and facts (usually general fact)
2. Habits = If it’s hot, I go to the beach
3. Rules = Children can swim, if an adult is with them
4. Instructions = If it’s cold, light the fire

Starting a fact or a truth in the main clause


Example :
If the power goes out, we can’t watch TV
[IF Clause] [main clause]
02.First Conditional
{IF/WHEN + present simple, present future (will + verb)} – IF this thing happens, this will likely
happen

First conditional is real, the possible conditional and likely chance it will happen. We can use it talk
about :
1. Prediction
2. Superstitions
3. Plans
4. Promises
5. Offers
6. Suggestions
7. Warnings = If you leave the milk out, it will spoil

Example :
If you don’t eat now, you’ll be hungry later
If she doesn’t call, I’ll be annoyed
03.Second Conditional
{IF + past simple, would + verb infinitive} – IF this happened, that would happen

Second conditional tells us that the action is quite unlikely. We use the second conditional to talk about
:
1. To imagine life is different = If she lived in London, she would have English friend
Things in the future that are unlikely, things that are impossible in the present
2. Hypothetical questions = If you could travel to any country, where would you go?
3. Give advice = If I were you, I’d talk to my boss before I quit my job
4. Give reasons why = If I had a money, I’d lend it to you.

Extra tips :
a. ‘if’ is a conjunction
b. You can change the order of the clauses =
If it stopped raining, I would go for a walk - I would go for a walk if it stopped raining
c. Subject + would are usually contracted when spoken (I’d, she’d, you’d)
d. It breaks grammar rules (Can actually use were instead of was, both of those sentences are the same)
She was/ were….
04.Third Conditional
{IF + past perfect (had + past participle) , perfect conditional (would have + past participle)}

Third conditional talks about the past and specifically an unreal past, not a true past, an unreal one
(Situation & result in the past). We use the third conditional to talk about :
1. Things that we regret about the past
2. Wish we could change something in the past
3. Tell someone off about something they did in the past

We can replace ‘would have’ with other modals, like :


Might have – to show probability/certainty [If she had studied more, she might have passes]
Could have – to talk about possibility/ability [If you had lent me your car, I could have got there
faster]
