Introduction
Personal motivation and positive disposition in gaining
knowledge each day are the most effective ways to learn
English. Thus, studying English rules helps you acquire
whatever aspect of conversational English is most
interesting or important to you at the moment.
This module will allow you to learn how to talk about a
result that may occur if a condition happens. It also offers
endless possibilities for creative and imaginative
expression. After which, it will help you talk about
imaginary situations and make possible suggestions.
 More importantly, in the latter part of this module, you
will be able to critically situate and be constructive in

discussing possibilities in the making stand on an issue, using “if/when” in an

past, present or future argumentative situation.

Discussion
 Conditionals
● - are sometimes called “if clauses”. They
describe the result of something that might
happen (in the present or future) or might
have happened but didn’t (in the past).
They are made using different English
verb tenses.

Four Types of Conditionals
TYPE 1 – Present or Future Real Conditional
The first conditional has the present simple after if, then the future simple in the
other clause: If + present simple…..will + infinitive
It’s used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we
can’t know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which
could easily come true.

Examples:
a. If you don’t hurry, you will miss the plane.
(It’s about what will happen today, another day might be different.)
b. If she studies harder, she’ll pass the examination.
(It’s possible she will study harder and so she’ll pass.)
 Four Types of Conditionals
TYPE 2 – Present Unreal Conditional
The second conditional uses the simple past after if, then would and the infinitive: If + Simple past……would + infinitive
It has two uses:
A. We use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true.
Examples:
a. If I had enough money, I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool.
(I’m probably not going to have much money, it’s just a dream, not very real.)
b. She would pass the examination if she ever studied.
(She never studies, so this won’t happen.)
B. We use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, but because it’s not true.
Examples:
a. If I had his number, I would call him.
(I don’t have his number now, so it’s impossible for me to call him.)
b. If I were you, I wouldn’t go out with that man. (but I’m not you,)
Four Types of Conditionals
TYPE 3- Past Unreal Conditional
We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after if, then would have
and the past participle in the second part of the sentence:
If + past perfect…..would + have + past participle
It talks about the past. It is used to describe a situation that didn’t happen,and to imagine
the result of this situation.

Examples:
a. If she had studied, she would have passed the examination.
(But, really we know she didn’t study and so she didn’t pass.)
b. If I had eaten so much, I wouldn’t have felt sick. (But I did eat a lot, and so I did feel
sick.)
Four Types of Conditionals
ZERO TYPE CONDITIONAL – Present Real Conditional

We can make a zero-conditional sentence with two present simple verbs

(one in the if clause and one in the main clause): If + present
simple….present simple
This conditional is used when the result will always happen.

Example:
a. If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can’t be a
different result sometimes.

Complete the paragraph by filling in the

missing data taken from the previous discussion
about conditionals. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.
 In this lesson, I learned that conditionals are sometimes called
(1)__________. It helped me talk about (2)___________ and (3)__________.
The first conditional or the Present or Future Real Conditional has the
(4)___________ after if, then the (5)____ ___ in the other clause. On the
other hand, the second conditional, the Present Unreal Conditional uses the
(6)___________ after if, then (7)__________ and the (8)___________.
We make the third conditional or the Past Unreal Conditional by using the
(9)__________ after if, then (10)___________ and the ____________ in the
second part of the sentence or Present Real Conditional. For the fourth type of
conditional which is called the zero-type conditional
sentence, we make it using two (11)___________ which is one in the
(12)_________ and one in the (13)__________.
It's important to use the correct structure of the different conditional
sentences because (14)___________. Conditional statements help us to (15)
______________.
