CONDITIONALS

Conditionals are sentences that express one situation


that depends on another. They usually consist of two clauses:
the "if" clause (the condition) and the main clause (the result).

Types of Conditionals
1. Zero Conditional
o Structure: If + present simple, present simple
o Usage: Used for general truths or facts.
o Example:
▪ If you heat ice, it melts.
▪ If the sun sets, it gets dark.

2. First Conditional
o Structure: If + present simple, will + base verb
o Usage: Used for real and possible situations in the future.
o Example:
▪ If it rains tomorrow, I will stay home.
▪ If she studies hard, she will pass the exam.

3. Second Conditional
o Structure: If + past simple, would + base verb
o Usage: Used for hypothetical situations that are unlikely or imaginary.
o Example:
▪ If I had a million dollars, I would travel the world.
▪ If he were taller, he would play basketball.

4. Third Conditional
o Structure: If + past perfect, would have + past participle
o Usage: Used for hypothetical situations in the past that did not happen.
o Example:
▪ If I had known about the party, I would have gone.
▪ If she had studied more, she would have passed the test.
5. Mixed Conditional
o Structure: Combines elements from second and third conditionals.
o Usage: Used when the time in the “if” clause is different from the time in the main
clause.
o Example:
▪ If I had studied medicine (past), I would be a doctor now (present).
▪ If she were more organized (present), she would have finished the project on
time (past).
