The Main objectives of the Unit  Conditionals  Base and Strong adjectives.

Conditional Sentences Structure : A conditional sentence is composed of 2 parts : If-clause +Main Clause Example : If it rains tomorrow, we will not come. If-clauseMain Clause

FIRST CONDITIONAL If+ Present Simple + will If the weather is nice, we will go for a walk. If you don’t apologize, she will never trust you again. 1- The first conditional refers to the present and future. It expresses a possible condition and its probable result in the future. If clause: PRESENT SIMPLE Main clause: FUTURE SIMPLE

FIRST CONDITIONAL If+ Present Simple + will 2-we can use the first conditional to express different functions (all of which express a possible condition and a probable result). If you don’t stop the noise, I’ll phone the police! (a threat) Careful! If you touch that, you’ll burn yourself! ( a warning) I’ll post the letter if you like. (an offer) If you lend me $ 10, I'll pay you back tomorrow. ( a promise)

Exercise One. First Conditionals 1.If you ___________________ (not come), You ________________ (miss ) the show. do not come will miss 2.John __________________ (buy)a car if he _____________ (get) a job. will buy gets 3.Mary ________________(get) a toothache if she_________________ (eat) too many sweets. will get eats

Time Clauses (When, as soon as, before, until, after) are not followed by will. 1- We use present tense but the meaning of the sentence is in the future. I will call you when I get home. As soon as dinner is ready, I will give you a call. Can I have a word with you before I go? Wait until I come back. 2- we also use present perfect to show that the action in the time clause is finished. When I have read the book, I will lend it to you. I will go home after I have done the shopping.

ZERO CONDITIONAL If you don’t water flowers, they die. If you have a headache, stop watching TV. With zero conditional we express a general truth or we give advice. Zero conditional sentences refer to all time not just the present or future. If clause: PRESENT SIMPLE Main clause: PRESENT SIMPLE or IMPERATIVE

Jack wants to buy a house but he can’t do this because he doesn’t have any money. If I had a lot of money, I would buy a big house. SECOND CONDITIONAL

Susan wants to phone Paul but she can’t do this because she doesn’t know his number. If I knew his number, I would phone him. SECOND CONDITIONAL

If I had a lot of money, I would buy a big house. If I knew his number, I would phone him. if-clause: PAST TENSE SIMPLE main clause: PRESENT CONDITIONAL would + infinitive SECOND CONDITIONAL If+ Past Simple+ would. 1- The second conditional refers to the present and future. It expresses an unreal situation and its probable result. The situation or condition is improbable, impossible, imaginary, or contrary to known facts.

SECOND CONDITIONAL 2- Other modal verbs are possible in the result clause: I could buy some new clothes if I had some money If I saved a little every week, I might be able to save up for a car 3- If I were you, I’d…..is used to give advice If I were you, I would apologize to her I would take it easy for a while if I were you.

FIRST v. SECOND CONDITIONAL THE DIFFERENCE: FIRST and SECOND CONDITIONAL Both conditionals refer to the present and future. The difference is about probability, not time. First conditional: real and possible situations Second conditional: unlikely to happen If John runs fast, he will win the race. If John ran fast, he would win the race. This is still possible to happen. This is unlikely to happen because John doesn’t run fast.
