CONDITIONALS

Условните реченици се сложени реченици, составени од 1 главна (main clause) и 1


зависна реченица (if clause). Која од нив ќе биде прва не е важно меѓутоа има едно
правило:
- Доколку е прва IF тогаш речениците ги одделуваме со запирка.
If it rains, we’ll stay at home.
We’ll stay at home if it rains.

Zero Conditional

Form

IF + PRESENT SIMPLE + PRESENT SIMPLE

Positive form

My head hurts if I study hard.

Negative form
Plants die if they don’t get enough water.

Questions

NOTE: In zero conditional sentences, you can replace "if" with "when", because both express
general truths. The meaning will be unchanged.

If it rains, the grass gets wet.


When it rains, the grass gets wet.

Use

The zero conditional is used to make statements about the real world, and often refers to general
truths, such as scientific facts. In these sentences, the time is now or always and the situation is
real and possible (факти)

Question form

NOTE: There’s no WILL in the IF clause. If you will leave now, you’ll catch the train.
IF can be replaced by UNLESS (=if … not)

Use

1. We use the second conditional to express an unreal situation and its probable result. The
situation or condition is improbable, impossible, imaginary, or contrary to known facts.(Вториот
кондиционал се користи за замислени дејства, нешто што не е возможно, нешто што е
спротивно на фактите кои ги знаеме.)

president.)

2. Other modal verbs are possible in the result clause.

TIME CLAUSES

Conjunctions of time (when, as soon as, before, until, after) are not usually followed by will. We
use a present tense even though the time reference is future.

As soon as dinner is ready, I’ll give you a call.
Can I have a word with you before I go?
Wait until I come back.
