What are the differences in the following 3 groups?

I: If you are often late to class, I will sign you up for a compulsory study afternoon.

If Anne works hard, she will probably do well in her subjects.

 If you take the 8 a.m. flight to New York, you won't have to change planes.

II: If I were head of school, I would change the timetable.

 If Daan were a little taller, he would be able to reach the books on the top shelf.

 If I spoke Spanish, I'd love to talk to Pedro in his own language.

III: If you had handed in your work on time, I would not have given you a 1.

 If I had won a million Euros, I would have bought the whole class a laptop.

 If we hadn't had that problem with the car, we wouldn't have missed the movie.

Conditional Sentences: Likely, Unlikely & Impossible

II: If I were head of school, I would change the timetable.

 If Daan were a little taller, he would be able to reach the books on the top shelf.

 If I spoke Spanish, I'd (=would) love to talk to Pedro in his own language.

 If I had won a million Euros, I would have bought the whole class a laptop.

Conditional Sentences: Likely, Unlikely & Impossible

PRESENT SIMPLE

+ WILL

PAST SIMPLE 

+ WOULD

PAST PF

+ WOULD HAVE ...

Notice that the first group of three sentences are all true. Well, we don't know about the 8 a.m. flight, but it sounds as if the information is being given on good authority! All three sentences tell what will happen (result) if certain conditions are met. These are real conditions. The situation described is likely to happen.

 

The second group tells what might happen (result) if some unreal conditions were met. I'm not the head of school, Martin is not taller, and I don't speak Spanish. Thus, none of these outcomes (results) will materialize. The situation is considered highly unlikely or next to impossible.

The third group just speculates about what would result if past conditions had been different. These are considered unreal past conditional sentences. The situation described is a theoretical possibility but impossible in real life as it can no longer be changed.

Conditional Sentences: Likely, Unlikely & Impossible
