2. Conditionals are sentences with two clauses an
if clause and a main clause
 There are four basic types of conditional
sentence:
 Zero conditional
 First conditional
 Second conditional
 Third conditional

3. zero conditional
to express a simple statement of
fact or to talk about things that are
always true.
With zero conditional we express
a general truth or we give advice

4. For example:
 If you don’t water flowers, they die.
The present simple is used in both clauses
If clause:
PRESENT SIMPLE
Main clause:
PRESENT SIMPLE
or IMPERATIVE
zero conditional

5. first conditional
 The first conditional refers to the present and
future. It expresses a possible (real) condition and
its probable result in the future.
 In first conditional sentences, the structure is
usually if + present simple and will +
infinitive. It’s not important which clause comes
first.

6. first conditional
For example:
 If the weather is nice, we will go for a walk.
If clause:
PRESENT SIMPLE
Main clause:
FUTURE SIMPLE
We use the First Conditional to talk about
future events that are likely to happen.

7. Second conditional
 The Second Conditional is used to talk about
'impossible' or unreal situations.The situation
or condition is
improbable, impossible, imaginary, or
contrary to known facts.
 The structure is usually if + past simple and
would + infinitive. It’s not important which
clause comes first.

8. Second conditional
For example:
 If I knew his number, I would phone him.
if-clause:
PAST TENSE SIMPLE
main clause:
PRESENT CONDITIONAL
would + infinitive

9. Third conditional
 We can use the Third Conditional to talk about
'impossible' conditions, impossible because they
are in the past and we cannot change what has
happened.

10. Third conditional
For example:
 If you had studied harder, you would have passed your test.
if-clause:
PAST PERFECT SIMPLE
main clause:
PAST CONDITIONAL
would + have + past participle
