2. First + Second
3. Second + Third

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

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

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.

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.

I can use the right tenses in the right conditional
