The goal of today's lesson:

  • to know the difference between different sentences with 'if.....'
  • to be able to use these sentences in different situations

Slide 1 - Diapositive

'If' statements - 4 kinds:

0
facts - If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils.
1
real or likely situations - If the weather is bad, we will cancel the party. 
2
unlikely or hypothetical situations - If I won the lottery, I would go travelling around the world
3
situations that cannot be changed - If I had studied for the test, I would have passed. (But I didn't study, so I didn't pass.)

Slide 2 - Diapositive

Fact: If + present simple = > present simple
condition: If + present simple (If I win)

result: present simple
(don't eat)
Facts:   0 conditional
If you freeze water, it turns into ice.

Slide 3 - Diapositive

Real/likely situation: If + present simple => will
"If you go outside in the rain, you will get wet!"
Real / likely situations: 1st conditional


condition: if + present simple (If I tell)

result: will + verb (I will get)

Slide 4 - Diapositive

Unlikely situation: If + past simple = > would
Unreal / unlikely situations: 2nd conditional
condition: if + past simple (If I did)
result: would + verb (would I be)
"If I won the lottery, I would buy a new car!"

Slide 5 - Diapositive

Careful: 2nd conditional 
Noteworthy exception
The form 'to be' in becomes 'were' not 'was' when giving advice

"If I were you, I would talk to a teacher."

Slide 6 - Diapositive

Situations that you cannot change anymore: 

If + past perfect => would + present perfect
Situations cannot be changed / past : 3rd conditional
condition: if + past perfect (If I hadn't been caught)
result: would + present perfect (I would have gotten)
"I would have left sooner if I had known."
