Unit 7 Memory Grammar

A Conditional sentences We have already learnt to use conditional sentences to talk about probable results We can also use conditional sentences to talk about results that will certainly happen.

If you put salt into water, it disappears. The if-clause talks about a possible action If you put salt into water, it disappears. The main clause talks about the result that will certainly happen

Work out the rule When we use a conditional sentence to talk about something that will certainly happen, both verbs should be in the simple present tense/ the simple future tense.

Things to remember We can also put the if-clause after the main clause. Salt disappears if you put it into water.

A1 Read these if –clauses and draw lines to match them with the results

1.If you take a fish out of water, a it grows 2. If you switch off the lamp, b it dies 3. If you put wood into water, c the room becomes dark 4. If you water a plant, d it breaks 5. If you drop a galss, e it floats
