b) If I pass the test tomorrow, I’ll be happy.

c) If I found some money on the street, I would spend it.

d) If I had caught the bus, I would have been on time.

Which sentence is:

always true?

impossible to change?

possible, but not likely?

possible and likely?

a) If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.

b) If I pass the test tomorrow, I’ll be happy.

c) If I found some money on the street, I would spend it.

d) If I had caught the bus, I would have been on time.

All the sentences have an ‘if clause’ and a ‘result clause’.

a) If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils = something which is always true.

• We use present simple in both parts.

b) If I pass the test tomorrow, I’ll be happy = possible and likely.

• Both parts of the sentence are talking about the future, but after ‘If’ we use present simple.
  

c) If I found some money on the street, I would spend it = possible but not likely.

• We use past simple and would.
  

d) If I had caught the bus, I would have been on time = impossible to change. 

• We use if + past perfect and would/might + have + past participle.
