Zero, first and second conditional

If - sentences 

What can you tell me about the conditionals?

If-sentences for facts

• We use if-sentences for facts to talk about... well... facts
• It's is always true 
  
  
• Also called: zero conditional 

Which grammar do we use with the zero conditional? (If you heat ice, it melts.)

Structure of the zero conditional

             > If this happens,       then that happens. 

               If clause          +         main clause

if + present simple           +         present simple

Fill in the zero conditional:
If it ... (rain), the grass ... (get) wet.

Finish the sentence in the zero conditional:
If you have no electricity...

First conditional - likely to happen

First conditional.
If you ....(buy) the present, I ....(wrap) it up.

Fill in the first conditional:
If he ..... (come), I ..... (be) surprised.

Grammar: second conditional

In this slide, I will be explaining the Second Conditional with a focus on how its form and meaning are different from the first conditional.

"Dus de regel lijkt heel erg op die van de first conditional maar is net wat anders. Hier is de regel: If + Past Simple --> would + infinitive"  "Er zijn dus twee dingen anders in de vorm, wie weet welke twee dingen dat zijn?"

"Verder gebruiken we deze vorm ook op andere momenten dan de First Conditional. De Second conditional gebruik je op het moment dat het onwaarschijnlijk is dat iets gaat gebeuren maar niet onmogelijk is."

Ask someone to repeat this rule and write it on the board. (ask them to write it?)

Verschil First & Second Conditional

Het verschil tussen de First & Second conditional zit in de waarschijnlijkheid.

Bij de first conditional is het mogelijk dat het gebeurd, bij de second conditional is de kans erg klein dat het ooit gaat gebeuren.

Second Conditional:
If he ... (have) a beard, he ... (look) older.

1. would have, would look
2. didn't have, would look
3. had had, would have looked
4. had, would look

Second Conditional:
I ... (not - eat) that, if I ... (be) you!

1. wouldn't eat, were
2. didn't eat, would be
3. won't eat, were
4. wouldn't eat, was

Second conditional:
If we .... (live) in Mexico, I ...... (speak) Spanish.

1. Lives / would speak
2. Lived / would speak
3. Lived / 'd speak
4. Live / would speak

Second conditional:
If he ... (arrive) earlier, it ... (be) less stressful.

1. arrive / will be
2. will arrive / is
3. arrived / would be
4. would arrive / were

Second Conditional.
If we .....(not/be) so tired, we....(go) out.

Second Conditional.
If Julie....(like) chocolate, I ....(give) her some.

Well done!
