Conditionals

Conditionals

1. Zero

   • We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs:
     • One (verb) in the ”if” clause (sentence).One (verb) in the ”main” clause (sentence)
   • This conditional is used when the result will always happen. Talking in general, not about one particular situation. The result of the “if clause” is always the main clause.
     • If people eat too much, they get fat
     • If you touch a fire, you get burned.
     • People die if they don´t eat.

2. First

   • The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other clause (sentence)
     • we can't know what will happen in the future but this describes possible things, which could easily come true.
       • If it rains, I won't go to the park.
       • If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight
       • If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.
   • It's used to talk about things, which might happen in the future.
