Conditional

Conditional

1. Sometimes we call them"if clauses". They describe the result of something that might happen or might have happened.

   • There are four main kinds of conditionals
     • The zero conditional
       • This conditional is used when the result will always happen.
         • If + present simple... present simple
           • we can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs.
             • For example
               • If you touch a fire, you get burned.
               • If babies are hungry, they cry.
               • If people eat too much, they get fat.
     • The first conditional
       • It´s used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Describes possible things, which could easily come true
         • If + present simple.... wiil + infinitive.
           • The first conditional has the present simple after 'if' then the future simple.
             • For example
               • if it rains, I wont go to the park
               • If I study today, I' llgo to the party tonight
               • If I have enoght money, I'll buy somke new shoes.
     • The Second Conditional
       • It has two uses
         • We can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true.
           • The second conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would and the infinitive'
             • If + Past simple... would + infinitive.
               • For example.
                 • If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello
                 • If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.
         • We can use it to talk about somethinf in the present wich is impossible because it´s not true.
     • The Third Conditional
       • It talks about the past. It´s used to describe a situation that didn´t happen, and to imagune the result of this situation
         • We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after if and then would have and the past perticiple in the second part of the sentence
           • If+ Past perfect.. would + have + past participle
             • For example
               • If she had studied, she would have passed the exam
               • She wouldn't have been tired if she had gone to bed earlier
