    Uploaded by

    DJ Johan-M
    This document provides guidance on conditional sentences in English. It discusses the four types of conditional sentences: zero, first, second, and third conditional. The zero conditional uses the present simple tense to talk about real-life situations that commonly occur. The first conditional uses the present simple in the if-clause and will + infinitive in the main clause to talk about possible future events. Examples are provided for the zero and first conditional to illustrate their structures and usage.

    CONDITIONALS

    Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have
    happened, and what we wish would happen. In English, most sentences using the
    conditional contain the word if.

    Conditional Sentences

     There are four types of conditional sentences.

     It’s important to use the correct structure for each of these different conditional
    sentences because they express varying meanings.

     Pay attention to verb tense when using different conditional modes.

     Use a comma after the if-clause when the if-clause precedes the main clause.

    The Zero Conditional


    The present real conditional (also called conditional 0) is used to talk about what you
    normally do in real-life situations.

    We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if
    clause' and one in the 'main clause'):

     If + present simple, .... present simple.

    EXAMPLES:

    1. If you heat ice, it melts.


    2. Ice melts if you heat it.
    3. When you heat ice, it melts.
    4. Ice melts when you heat it.
    5. If it rains, the grass gets wet.
    6. The grass gets wet if it rains.
    7. When it rains, the grass gets wet.
    8. The grass gets wet when it rains.
    9. If I go to a friend's house for dinner, I usually take a bottle of wine.

    10. When I have a day off from work, I often go to the beach.
    11. If the weather is nice, she walks to work.
    12. Jerry helps me with my homework when he has time.
    13. I read if there is nothing on TV.
    14. If people eat too much, they get fat.
    15. If you touch a fire, you get burned.
    16. People die if they don't eat.
    17. You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen.
    18. Snakes bite if they are scared
    19. If babies are hungry, they cry

    The First Conditional


    The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other
    clause:

    if + present simple, ... will + infinitive

    It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can't know
    what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come
    true.

    EXAMPLES:

    1. If I see her, I will tell her (I’ll tell her)


    2. If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. (I will go…)
    3. If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.
    4. She'll be late if the train is delayed.
    5. She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon.
    6. If it rains, I won't go to the park.
    7. I’ll visit him if I go to Paris.
    8. I’ll call you if I have time.
    9. She’ll buy a motorbike if she has enough money.
    10. If he doesn’t call, I will be very angry.
