Feeling fine

1. Zero Conditional

   • we use zero conditional to talk about things that are always or generally true
     • Example: If I drive into town, I pay for parking.
   • We use the simple present in both the if clause ant the main clause.
     • Example: If you drive on a highway, you don t see any traffic lights.
   • We can use when instead of if in the if clause.
     • if people use publictransportation, there is less traffic= when people use public transportation, there is less traffic.

2. First Conditional

   • We use the first conditional tl talk about something that is possible in the future
     • Example: If you go for a walk in the park, you will feel better
   • We use the simple present in the if clause, and we use the future with will in the main clause.
     • Example: If Dennis moves to the city, we won t see him feel better
   • We can also use a modal verb ( can,must, should, etc) or the imperactive instead of will in the main clause.
     • Example: if we meet at the entrance, we can go in together.
     • Example 2: if you see tanya at the bus stop, tell her to call me.
