A typical conditional sentence consist 2
clause
a. IF-clause: The clause introduce the
condition or hypothesis. It often contain ‘If’
or some other way to express the condition
b. Main clause: The clause show out the result
of the action in the IF-clause
The verb tenses used in each clause depends
on whether the speaker thinks the result is
probable (real) or only exists in the
imagination (unreal).
 Smurf! You don’t

What the smurf is the clip
zero
conditionalsentence?
Now is the
structure.

IF-CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE

If/When + S + simple present verb S + simple present verb
If I act like a jerk My girl friend gets angry
The first conditional is used
to talk about things which
are possible in the present
or the future — things
which may happen. Like in
the song, the girl will love
me forever, that’s may
happen.

IF-CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE

If + S + simple present verb S + will+infinitive
If you love me I’ll be your platinum
 I haven’t figured
What would I it out yet. Let’s
do, If I were a ask Fiddler
rich man?

IF-CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE

if + S + simple past verb S + would + V
If Fiddler was a rich man He wouldn’t have to work
hard
If I had known she
was playing hard
to get, I would
have call her

IF-CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE

if + S + past perfect S + would/could/ might
verb have + past participle
We can mix the second and third conditionals:

If + simple past Perfect conditional

This type of mixed conditional expresses a general

condition with an imaginary result in the past

Example
If I spoke better English, I could
have got the job.
If you were smarter, you wouldn't
have borrowed money in the first
place.
Explanation
I don't speak English well enough so
I didn't get the job
You are not smart, that's why you
borrowed money
 If + past perfect Present conditional

This type of mixed conditional expresses

a hypothetical condition in the past with an
imaginary result in the present
Example Explanation

If we had followed the sign, we didn't follow the sign

we wouldn’t be lost now. and now we are lost

If you had drunk less last you drank too much last
night, you wouldn't have a night, that's why you have
hangover. a hangover now
We can form conditions by
using words/ expressions
such as unless (if not)
(type1),
providing/provided that,
so/as long as, on condition
(that), what if,
suppose/supposing,
otherwise (if not),
without, but for, and, or
(else), even if, in case
of/in the event of, etc…
 Unless=If not
I’ll go home soon unless I’ll go home soon if the
the film start film doesn’t start

 providing/provided that, so/as long as, on

condition (that)
Proved that every body agrees, we’ll have the meeting
on Tuesday

 what if, suppose/supposing(that), imagine

Just suppose it didn’t rain for 4 months, would we have

enough water?
We can omit ‘if’ and use inversion in first,
second and third conditionals.
