Check the video, please

Here you can fin some useful information about conditionals.

What is a conditional?

A conditional is a type of sentence that has two parts: the IF CLAUSE and the MAIN CLAUSE. You can also call these two parts the CONDITION and RESULT.

IF CLAUSE = CONDITION

MAIN CLAUSE = RESULT

The IF CLAUSE can come first or second in the sentence.

BE CAREFUL! If you start a sentence with the IF CLAUSE, you need to use a comma between the clauses.

If it rains, we won’t play tennis.

We won’t play tennis if it rains.

IF CLAUSE = if it rains

MAIN CLAUSE = we won’t play tennis

If/When + subject + present simple, subject + present simple

Use zero conditional for facts or things that are always true

You can use “if” or “when” to start the IF CLAUSE

Zero conditional is used for real situations in the present (or past)

Example

If/When you eat ice cream on a sunny day, it melts.

Ice cream melts if/when you eat it on a sunny day.

Other uses for zero conditional

You can also use zero conditional to describe a past habit that was always true.

If/When + subject + past simple, subject + past simple

If/When I visited the lake, I always went fishing. (past habit)

FIRST CONDITIONALS

If + subject + present simple, subject + will + base form

Use 1st conditional for events or situations that are likely to happen

First conditional is used for real situations in the present or future

Example

If I study a lot for the exam, I will pass. (likely to be true in the future)

I’ll pass the exam if I study a lot for it.

Other uses for 1st conditional

You can also use other modal verbs instead of “will”

If you need money I can/might/could lend you some.

You can also use the imperative (a command)

If the ticket goes on sale, buy it. (Instruction for a possible event)
