Grammar
Conditional sentences
Conditional sentences are used to describe different kinds of situations, which can be real,
likely, unreal and imaginary. They contain a main clause and a conditional clause, which is
normally introduced by some of the following words:
IF / WHETHER / PROVIDED / AS LONG AS /...
UNLESS (IF NOT)...
(Have a look at some examples at the end of this section)
Pay attention to the way we use commas in conditional sentences. If the conditional
clause comes before the main clause, a comma is needed. It is not required when the
condition is expressed after the main clause. You will see some examples below.
Zero Conditional: It is used in situations which are always true or which always happen
when a condition is fulfilled. It is usually related with everyday situations or scientific facts
IF .., simple present, simple present.
or
... Simple present IF simple present. (no comma)
- If you boil water, it turns into steam.
~ She gets an allergy if she eats tropical fruit.
IF and WHEN. In zero conditional sentences we use both of them with a very slight
variation in meaning.
- When my girlfriend has a day off from work, we normally go hiking.
-When I hear anyone talking about surgery, | always feel very dizzy.

Zero conditionals are also used when giving instructions. Take a look at the following
examples:
- If it rains, bring me my raincoat.
- Ifyou leave early, give mea lift
First Conditional: it is used to describe a situation which is real or likely or when the
result of a condition is probable in the future.
IF ... present simple, Will / will not (won't) + infinitive without "to".
- My sister will be really happy if you give her those shoes as a present.
- If Peter comes tomorrow afternoon, welll go to the footballl match.
It can also be used when warning, promising or threatening.
- Ifyou don't finish your meal, you won't play with your cousins when they arrive.
- Ifyou don't do your homework, you will have to spend the whole afternoon at home.
Modal verbs can also be used in this first conditional type:
- If you arrive earlier, we might have time to meet.
Second Conditional: It is used to describe an unreal or imaginary situation in the present
or in the future. It is possible but very unlikely that the condition is finally fulfilled,
IF ... past simple, would + infinitive without "to".
- If | knew more details about the wedding, | would (or "I'd") tell them to you.
- If | were rich, | would move to the most luxurious area in town.
WATCH OUT! Both of these forms, "was" and “were”, can be used after the subject
pronouns | / SHE / HE / IT when expressing a second conditional. However, "was" is
more common in spoken English.
This conditional is also used when giving some advice:

- If | were you, | would try to do whatever is possible to change this awful situation.
See how modal verbs are used when expressing second conditionals:
- If you found an alternative plan, | might go out with you tonight.
- If she was taller, she could be a model.
Third conditional: They are used to express imaginary situations in the past, they are not
possible any more.
IF ... past perfect, would/might/could have + past participle.
- If she had known you were on campus, she would have come to see you.
- If he had studied more, he wouldn't have failed such an easy exam.
Mixed conditionals: Notice the way these conditionals are used. They are a combination
of the second and third conditional and are very common in English to express an
imaginary past event and the result in the present.
- If | hadn't spent so much money, | wouldn't fee! so bad now.
Examples with other words/idioms used to express condition:
+ UNLESS (it has a negative meaning) > Unless you stop shouting, I'll leave / If you don’t
stop shouting, I'l leave.
* AS LONG AS > As long as you are my friend, I'll always be by your side,
* PROVIDED/ PROVIDING THAT > Provided/providing that it does not rain, China is trying
to find an alterative solution.
* ON CONDITION THAT > My father told me he would help me with my essay on
condition that | washed his car.
* NO MATTER HOW/WHAT/WHERE > No matter how hard you try, you will never find
your Christmas present.
* Imperative: Get me a coffee, AND I'll pay you later.
