Why Conditionals?

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). The order of the clauses does not change the meaning.

Conditionals

• 0 conditional
• 1st conditional

Conditionals

• Zero conditional

Facts that are generally true and scientific facts, the condition has the same result.

 

if sentence	result
present simple	present simple
If you heat ice	it melts

Conditionals

• First conditional

Possible situations in the future, prediciting a result

 

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