helps you achieve more insights on how to make life better if not the best.
Read it silently and watch out for words which are difficult for you to
understand.

If
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run--
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Conditionals
They are sometimes called” If clauses”. They describe the result of
something that might happen (in the present of future) or might happen
but didn’t (in the past).

Verb form:
A. Present/Future Conditionals
1. If+ present simple.. present simple
If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils

2. If+ present simple…will+ present simple

If it rains tomorrow, we will go to the cinema.

B. Unreal Conditional Sentence

Expresses events that are hypothetical or improbable. Typically, an
unreal conditional sentence begins with an if clause containing the past
tense or past perfect tense of the verb followed by a conditional clause
containing a modal verb such as “ would”.
Consider the following sentences:

3.If+past simple...would+ present simple

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world,

4.If+past perfect…would +have +past participle

If I had gone to bed early, I would have caught the train.

In the sentences above, the “if” clause contains a form of the past
tense of the verb. There is one exception to this rule, however. If the verb
in the if clause is ”to be” use “ were” , even if the subject of the clause is a
third person singular subject. See the examples below for an illustration
of this exception:
Incorrect:
If I was a rich man, I would make more charitable donations.
Correct:
If I were a rich man, I would make more charitable donations.
Remember, though, that this exception applies only to unreal
conditionals –that is , situations that do not reflect reality. Unreal
conditionals often contain words like would, ought to, could, might etc.
When you’re talking about a possibility that did happen or might be true,
use “was” and “ were” as you normally would.
Incorrect: If I were rude to you, I apologize.
Correct: If I was rude to you, I apologize.
Try this.
1. Tell her if you (see, will see)her.
2. I would have gone by air if I (had, had had) more money.

5. What will you do if Bob(will refuse, refuses)
Answer:
