• Is used for when the time being referred to is now or always and the situation is real and possible.
• Often used to refer to general truths
• The tense in both parts of the sentence is the simple present.
• The word "if" can usually be replaced by the word "when" without changing the meaning.

Task 2. READING!

Your Reading Text.
Marge is a woman of 55 who lives on her own in a small house in Calapan. She did not
have a very nice day yesterday!
As she was leaving the house, she forgot her bus ticket. Only when she got to the bus stop
did she realize this, so she had to hurry back to the house. She opened the door, put the keys on
the telephone table, went into the kitchen to get her bus ticket and left again without her keys.
She caught the 8.42 a.m. bus instead of her usual 8.30 a.m. bus and arrived at work about
ten minutes late. Mr. Dela Cruz, her boss, was in a bad mood yesterday and shouted at her when
she arrived late. As a result, they had an argument in front of all the other people in the office.
Mr. Dela Cruz told her she would have to stay behind for fifteen minutes at lunch to finish some
important work.
At lunch, Marge only had time for a quick sandwich and didn't go to the office cafeteria
with the others as normal. Everyone returned from lunch very happy because they had met a

She was so hungry as she left the office at 5 o'clock that she bought a hot dog from the
man on the street corner. Within an hour, she didn't feel very well and had a pain in her
stomach. It was not her day!
She arrived home and realized she didn't have her keys, so had to walk two miles to her
sister's house to get a spare set of keys. She went into her house, closed the door and went
straight to bed.
