GRAMMAR
Zero Conditional

We use conditional sentences to talk about possible situations or actions and their results.
They usually have two clauses: a conditional (if) clause and a main clause (usually a result).

Possible situation or action Result


If I see Matt, I'll tell him to call you.

Zero conditional: We use the zero conditional to talk about things that are generally true,
especially for facts, laws and rules.

Conditional clause: if + present simple Main clause: present simple


If you freeze water, it becomes ice.
• if + present simple
If I drink too much co ee, I can’t sleep.
ff
GRAMMAR
First Conditional

First conditional: We use the rst conditional to talk about likely situations/actions.

Conditional clause: if + present simple Main clause: will + in nitive


If we go by bus, we'll get there on time.
• if + present simple
If we win the basketball match this afternoon, we'll be so happy.

We can also use modal verbs with future meaning (shall, should, would, can, could, may,
might): If we collect enough money, we can buy our teacher a good present.
fi
fi
GRAMMAR
Second Conditional
Second conditional: we use the second conditional to talk about unlikely situations/actions.
We can also use it to imagine situations in the present or future.

Conditional clause: if + past simple Main clause: would + in nitive


If I had a lot of money, I'd buy a new smartphone.
If we went by bike, we'd get there very late.

We can also use modal verbs with future-in-the-past meaning (should, might, could): If I knew
how to snowboard, I could enter the competition.

We can use were instead of was in the conditional clause: If I were/was you, I'd look for a
new hobby.
fi
GRAMMAR
Conditionals

Note: Conditional (if) clauses can come before or after the main clause in the
rst and second conditional.

When the conditional clause comes before the main clause, it is followed by a
comma:

I'll tell Matt to call you if I see him.


If I see Matt, I'll tell him to call you.
We'd go for a bike ride if it was sunny.
If it was sunny, we'd go for a bike ride.
