3. Improbable future situations
4. Hypothetical pasts

1st conditional is used for

1. Facts and truths
2. Hypothetical past situations
3. Improbable future situations
4. Possible and likely to happen situations

2nd conditional is used for

1. Improbable future situations
2. Possible and likely to happen situations
3. Facts and truths
4. Hypothetical past situations

The 3rd conditional is used for things which did NOT happen in the past

1. True
2. False

second conditional

third conditional

Which conditional is this:
If you hadn't told him my secret, we wouldn't have broken up

1. Zero
2. First
3. Second
4. Third

Which conditional sentence is correct?

1. I would travel around the world if there hadn't been a pandemic.
2. If I inherit a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon.
3. When people smoke cigarettes, their health will suffer .
4. If you rest, you will feel better.

You can mix these two conditionals:

1. Zero + First
2. First + Second
3. Second + Third

When you mix a second and third conditional, this happens:

1. You change the time(s) being referred to
2. You use new tenses to form the conditional
3. It makes it more formal

TRUE

FALSE

You can use 'unless' to substitute 'if'

You can never omit 'if' in a conditional sentence

If always has to be followed by a noun

Substituting 'if'  for an inversion makes it more formal

You can reduce an if-clause to two words on occasion

Change this sentence to omit (= leave out) 'if':
If he hadn't contributed, the conference wouldn't have been a success.

Change the sentence by replacing 'if', but keep the meaning the same: Madge says she won't see the counsellor if you don't go with her.
