CONDITIONAL

CONDITIONAL

1. Verbal time expressing the action as hypothetical; Is used in the apódosis of some conditional sentences.

   • ARE CLASSIFIED IN:
     • CONDITIONAL TYPE 2
       • CONDITIONAL TYPE 3
         • CONDITIONAL TYPE 1
           • CONDITIONAL TYPE 0
             • In conditional sentences of type 0 ( "zero conditional"), the verb tense in both propositions is the "simple present".
               • Proposición "if" (condición)"If" + "simple present
                 • Proposición principal (resultado)"simple present"that thing happens.
                   • "that thing happens.
                     • As with all conditional sentences, the order of propositions is not fixed. It may be necessary to modify pronouns and punctuation by reversing the order of propositions but the meaning of the sentence will not change. In the sentences of "zero conditional" you can substitute "if" for "when" without affecting the meaning, since both terms serve to express general facts.
                       • EXAMPLES: - When you heat ice, it melts. -I f it rains, the grass gets wet.
                 • "If this thing happens
           • In a conditional sentence of type 1, the verb of the proposition "if" goes in "simple present", whereas the one of the main clause goes in "simple future".
             • Proposition "if" (condition)If + simple present
               • Main Proposition (result)simple future
                 • that thing will happen.
                   • As with all conditional sentences, the order of propositions is not fixed. It may be necessary to modify pronouns and punctuation by changing the order of clauses but the meaning of the sentence does not change.
                     • EXAMPLES:If Sally is late again I will be mad.
               • If this thing happens
         • In a conditional sentence of type 3, the verb tense of the "if" proposition is the "past perfect" and that of the main clause may be "perfect conditional" or "perfect continuous conditional."
           • Proposition "if + past perfect
             • main propositionperfect conditional" o "perfect continuous conditional"
               • that thing would have happened.
                 • The "conditional type 3" refers to an impossible condition, located temporarily in the past, and to its probable result in the past. These sentences are certainly hypothetical and unreal because, at this time, it is too late for the condition or its outcome to occur. The type 3 conditional almost always implies some regret or something we regret. Reality is the opposite or the opposite of what is expressed in the sentence. In conditional sentences of type 3 the temporal frame is the past and the situation is hypothetical.
                   • EXAMPLES: If I had known you were coming I would have baked a cake. (But I didn't know and I didn't bake a cake.)
             • If this thing had happened
       • In a conditional sentence of type 2, the verb tense of the "if" clause is the "simple past" and that of the main proposition may be the "present conditional" or the "present continuous conditional".
         • Proposition "if"If + simple past
           • main proposition"present conditional" o "present continuous conditional"
             • that thing would happen.
               • As with all conditional sentences, the order of propositions is not fixed. It may be necessary to modify pronouns and punctuation by changing the order of clauses but the meaning of the sentence remains the same.
                 • EXAMPLES:You wouldn't be so tired if you went to bed earlier.
           • If this thing happened
