ENGLISH TEACHER
Use Conditionals in
Expressing Arguments.
OBJECTIVES:
1. identify the types of conditionals used in
given situations;
2. construct sentences using conditionals in
expressing one’s self on different
argumentative circumstances; and
3. show appreciation on the importance of
using conditionals in asserting arguments on
social issues.
One Minute Speech
If…Then what?

Let’s practice doing additional exercises that


will prepare you to write your own stand in a
given issue. In order to do that, you must first
read an excerpt from the poem entitled “If” by
Rudyard Kipling and answer the guide
questions below.
Directions: Answer the following questions. Write
your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

1. What will happen if you can keep your emotions


even when you are in stressful situations?

2. What word is common in the poem?


What are conditionals in English grammar?

Conditionals are sometimes called “if


clauses”. They describe the result of
something that might happen (in the present
or future) or might have happened but didn’t
(in the past). They are made using different
English verb tenses.
There are four types of
conditionals
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.

Ex: If you don’t hurry, you will miss the plane.


TYPE 2 – Present Unreal Conditional
The second conditional uses the simple past after if,
then would and the infinitive:
If + Simple past……would + infinitive

It has two uses:


A. We use it to talk about things in the future that are
probably not going to be true.
a. If I had enough money, I would buy a house with
twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool.
B. We use it to talk about something in
the present which is impossible, but
because it’s not true.

Examples:
a. If I had his number, I would call him.
TYPE 3- Past Unreal Conditional
We make the third conditional by using the
past perfect after if, then would have and
the past participle in the second part of the
sentence:
If + past perfect…..would + have +
past participle
It talks about the past. It is used to describe a
situation that didn’t happen, and to imagine the
result of this situation.

Examples:
a. If she had studied, she would have passed the
examination.
ZERO TYPE CONDITIONAL – Present Real
Conditional
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

This conditional is used when the result will always happen.


Example:
a. If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can’t
be a different result sometimes.
Activity 2: I will do it if…
What I Have Learned
Activity 3: Fill me if…

Directions: Complete the paragraph by filling


in the missing data taken from the previous
discussion about conditionals. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.
In this lesson, I learned that conditionals are sometimes called (1)_______________. It
helped me talk about (2)_________________________ and
(3)____________________________.
The first conditional or the Present or Future Real Conditional has the
(4)_________________ after if, then the (5)____________ in the other clause. On the other
hand, the second conditional, the Present Unreal Conditional uses the (6)_______________
after if, then (7)_____________ and the (8)______________.
We make the third conditional or the Past Unreal Conditional by using the
(9)_______________ after if, then (10)_______________ and the _______________ in the
second part of the sentence or Present Real Conditional. For the fourth type of conditional
which is called the zero-type conditional sentence, we make it using two
(11)_______________________ which is one in the (12)_______________ and one in the
(13)___________________.
It's important to use the correct structure of the different conditional sentences because
(14)_______________________________. Conditional statements help us to (15)
_____________________________________________.
Assessment
