The Conditional tense

Choose ‘if’, ‘when’ or both, if possible.

Conditionals

You usually form conditionals with two clauses: an If clause and a main clause.

The If clause states the condition and the main clause states the result.

The If clause can come at the beginning or at the end of a sentence. When it is at the beginning, you use a comma after it.

You use if when you are not certain of something and when when you are almost certain something is going to happen.

Conditionals

Zero conditional

To talk about something that is always or generally true.

You use the present simple in both clauses.

If plants don’t get enough water, they die.

You can use when instead of if in zero conditional sentences.

When plants don’t get enough water, they die.

Conditionals

First conditional

To talk about something that is possible in the future.

You use the present simple in the If clause and a future tense in the main clause.

If the government doesn’t change course, things will get worse.

You can also use a modal verb or the imperative in the main clause.

If I see her, I can give her your message.

If you have any problems, give me a call.

You can use unless instead of if not in the If clause.

You can’t park here if you don’t have a permit.

You can’t park here unless you have a permit.

Conditionals

Second conditional

To talk about something that is impossible in the present or something that is possible but unlikely in the future.

You use the past simple in the If clause and would in the main clause.

If you had a sister, would you feel differently?

If we won the lottery, we would never work again.

Third conditional

To talk about something that was possible in the past but didn’t happen.

You use the past perfect in the If clause and would have + past participle in the main clause.

If I had known about the party, I would have come.
