Conditional

Conditional sentences are grammatical/syntactical structures that include statements that

express conditional or hypothetical situations. These sentences typically begin with “if,”
and they always have a subordinate clause that sets the condition and a main clause that
states the result of the consequence.

If the subordinate clause is at the beginning of a conditional sentence, then a comma after
it is required. However, no comma is needed if the subordinate clause is at the end of a
sentence.

Zero conditiona

Zero conditional sentences state known facts, general truths, and things that regularly
occur.

The subordinate clause (sometimes referred to as the if-clause) and main clause are usually
in the simple present tense.

While zero conditionals typically use the present simple tense in both clauses to express
constant truths or cause-and-effect relationships, other tenses can occasionally be used.
However, using the simple future tense in the main clause is incorrect.

Example:

✓If you leave ice out on a warm day, it melts.

✓When you add sugar to coffee, it becomes sweet.

✓Water boils if you heat it to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

✓It gets dark outside when the sun sets.

✓If there is smoke in the house, the fire alarm goes off.

First conditional

First conditional sentences express realistic future situations contingent on something else
happening.

The subordinate clause has to be in the simple present tense, followed by a modal verb
(like will) or an imperative verb, and the main clause in the simple future tense.

Examples:

✓If Thomas studies hard, he could pass the test.

✓If you do not water the plants, they will shrivel up and die.

✓If you exercise, you should have more energy.

✓You will catch the next bus if you leave right now.

✓I will call you if I leave the meeting on time.

Second conditional

Second conditional sentences express hypothetical or unrealistic present or future events.

To structure these sentences correctly, the subordinate clause should be in the simple
past tense. Then, add a past-tense modal verb (like would, should, or could) followed by
the base form of the main verb.

Examples:

✓If she had more free time, she would get a pet.

✓If Quincy had known about the party, he could have come.

✓If I could speak Spanish, I would apply for that position.

✓I would see a doctor if I were you.

✓She would travel the world if she had a passport

Third conditional

Lastly, third conditionals express hypothetical past situations. In other words, they explain
how present scenarios would have been altered if something had happened differently in
the past.

These sentences are structured using the past perfect tense (had + past participle) in the
subordinate clause, a past modal auxiliary verb, the helping verb have, and the past
participle in the main clause.

Examples

✓If you had listened to me, you wouldn’t have been in this predicament.

✓If Clara had saved more money, she could have bought the bag she wanted.

✓If I had known you were arriving today, I would have picked you up.

✓We could have seen the show if we had bought the tickets in advance.

✓I would not have been cold right now if I had brought a sweater.
