CONDITIONAL SENTENCE

GRAMMAR
DEFINITION CONDITIONAL SENTENCE
• A conditional sentence is a sentence that expresses a condition. A
condition is something that can only happen IF something else
occurs.
• Conditional sentences consist of a main clause and a conditional
clause (sometimes called an if-clause).
• The conditional clause usually begins with if or unless. The
conditional clause can come before or after the main clause.

• The zero conditional is used to make statements about

the real world, and often refers to general truths, such
as scientific facts. In these sentences, the time is now or
always and the situation is real and possible.
• We use the zero conditional to talk about permanent
truths, such as scientific facts, and general habits. The
structure is simple
• Here are some examples:
• If you heat water to 100°, it boils
• If it rains, tennis lessons are held in the gym

TYPE 1

• The first conditional sentence is a form of conditional sentence that is used when it
produces or has the possibility of happening in the future.
• This can happen because there are still realistic conditions that make sense for the
possibility to occur.
• Therefore, the sentence form of this first type of conditional sentence has the form of
a simple future sentence.
