Conditionals

There are many different kinds of sentence using if. You have to decide whether you’re talking about the past, the present or future. You also have to decide whether you’re talking about a real possibility or an unreal possibility (unlikely, impossible or hypothetical)

 

Real possibility, present and future

Zero conditional: if + present tense….present tense

 

This is used to talk about general truths and scientific facts.

 

If you read a lot, you learn lots of vocabulary.

If you are cooking, you need to use vegetables.

 

First conditional: if + present tense…will +bare infinitive

 

This is used to talk about real possibilities in the present, in the future, or generally.

If you read a lot, you will learn lots of vocabulary.

You will need a good dictionary if you are learning foreign language.

If you have studied, you’ ll do well in today’s test.

 

Instead of will, we can also use other modals or the imperative.

 

If you are going to the party, you can take this cake I made.

If it’s too late, you should call me tomorrow.

I might/may study Spanish if I pass my English exam.

If you have finished, do the next task.

 

Unreal possibility, present and future

Second conditional: if+ past tense…would + bare infinitive

 

This is used to talk about unreal possibilities (things that are unlikely, impossible or hypothetical) in the present and in the future.

 

If I won the lottery, I would move to the seaside.

I’d get a new car if I had enough money.

If you weren’t having a lesson now, what would you be doing?

 

The use of the past here is called the unreal past.

 

Instead of would we can also use other modals:

 

If I won the lottery, I could leave my job.

I might feel happier if I went to another school.

 

Especially in formal English we can say: If I were …

 

If I were Prime Minister, I would introduce new laws against pollution.

 

The third conditional: if + past perfect …would have + past participle

We can’t change the past. When we want to imagine the past being different, we can talk about it using the third conditional.

 

If I had known about the party, I would have gone. (But I didn’t know and didn’t go)

We wouldn’t have been on time if we hadn’t run. (We ran. We were on time)
