What are Conditional Sentences?

Conditional sentences are statements that explain a condition and its result. They use 'if' to introduce the condition and the result follows the 'then'.

Introduce the concept of conditional sentences and provide examples.

Condition >>> Result

Conditionals describe the result of a certain condition.

The if clause tells you the condition (If you study hard) and the main clause tells you the result (you will pass your exams).

Conditionals

• zero conditional
• 1st conditional
• 2nd conditional
• 3rd conditional

Structure of the zero conditional

   > If this happens,       then that happens.

condition                       result

 If clause COMMA        +         main clause

if + present simple           +         present simple

ZERO CONDITIONAL

The zero conditional is in the present tense:

 

Condition (if-clause)                                Result (main-clause)

If + present simple                                     present simple

Example:

If it rains, the street gets wet.              

First Conditional

if sentence	result
present simple	will + infinitive
If I get sick,	I will go to the doctor.

SECOND CONDITIONAL

The second conditional is:

 

Condition (if-clause)                                Result (main-clause)

If + past simple                                           would/could + infinitive    

Example:

If we had more apples, we could make apple pie.

THIRD CONDITIONAL

The third conditional is:

 

Condition (if-clause)             Result (main-clause)

If + past perfect                       would/could + have + past participle    

Example:

If I had woken up earlier, I would've been on time.

Let op!

"If I would..." BESTAAT NIET

Dus: "If I would do that I would fail the test" is geen goede zin. 

"If I did that I would fail the test"
