Conditionals

Conditionals

Conditionals, also  called if sentences, talk about things that need to happen for something else to happen. 

If this, then that

1st, 2nd and 3rd conditional

We'll focus on three conditionals;

1st: If you kick me, I will kick you.

2nd: If you kicked me, I would kick you

3rd: If you had kicked me, I would have kicked you 

1st, 2nd and 3rd conditional

1st: If you kick me, I will kick you.

2nd: If you kicked me, I would kick you

3rd: If you had kicked me, I would have kicked you 

2nd exception

In the if-clause of the second conditional, we always use were (never was).

If I were you, I would write this down.

Mixed

We can also mix the 2nd and 3rd conditionals:

If I had done my work in class, I wouldn't have to stress now. 

If I were a little richer, I would have bought a house.

Modals

We can use other modal verbs in the main clause, especially can, could, may and might. 

I might be interested if you showed me what I have to do

If I had bought a new computer, I could play that new game!
