Unit 11 gramatyka

CONDITIONALS (grammar carries meaning!)

-> Time reference!

-> Likelihood!
-> Anything can happen if it’s not past (= everything that happened cannot be changed, and
is now “impossible”)
-> Both clauses (części składowe) of a conditional sentence live their own lives!!! So they can
have separate time reference

0 - “zero” conditional -> universal truth, obvious, general, always etc.

If you work hard, you get promoted
If you drink a lot, you feel sick

1 -> future/present, quite likely and possible to happen

If you work hard, you will get promoted
If you drink a lot, you will feel sick.

2 -> future/present, less likely (still possible)

If you worked hard, you would get promoted
If you drank a lot, you’d feel sick

3 -> past!/impossible to happen/change

If you had worked hard, you would have got promoted
If you hadn’t been drinking a lot, you wouldn’t have felt sick (-> at yesterday’s party,
“then”)
