    The document discusses the grammatical structures of the first and second conditional in English. [1] The first conditional uses "if + present tense" to talk about likely future events, such as "If you don't bring an umbrella, you'll get wet." [2] The second conditional uses "if + past tense" to discuss unlikely or hypothetical scenarios, like "If I won the lottery, I would buy a dream house." [3] The second conditional also uses "would" or "could" in the result clause instead of future tense.

    FIRST CONDITIONAL & SECOND CONDITIONAL.

    Grammatical structure of the first conditional Option 1: If + Condition (sentence with conjugated
    verb in present simple) + will + Result (sentence with verb in infinitive).Option 2: Result (sentence
    with verb in infinitive) + will + if + Condition (sentence with conjugated verb in present simple).

    We use the first conditional in English to talk about situations that will occur if a particular
    condition is given. This condition is not certain, but it is very likely. That is, we use the first
    conditional to talk about things that we believe are likely to happen in the future.

    Ejemplos:

    If you don’t bring your umbrella, you’ll get wet. — Te vas a mojar si no te llevas el paraguas.

    If I leave work early enough today, we will go to the theatre. — Si salgo de trabajar lo bastante
    pronto hoy, iremos al teatro.

    The second conditional has the following structure: If + subject + past simple, subject + would +
    verb in infinitive (without to) Although with the personal pronouns I, he, she, and it the form was
    is used as past of the verb TO BE, in the conditional form, the form were is used. You can also use
    could instead of would.

    Second Conditional is used to talk about things that we don't really think are going to happen or
    that we consider very unlikely.

    Ejemlos:

    If I won the lottery, I would buy the house of my dreams.

    If we didn’t have to go to school, we could go to the match.
