CONDITIONALS

Fill-in the missing word in each gap:

Conditional sentences are made up of two parts: the if -clause (condition) and the conditional clause (result that
follows).
There are 5 conditionals:

 Zero conditional  Third conditional

 First . conditional  Mixed conditionals


 Second conditional
A. The zero conditional is used when describing situations which have automatic or habitual results. Using this
conditional suggests that we are 100% sure of the result.

IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE


If you heat ice, it melts.
PRESENT SIMPLE PRESENT SIMPLE

B. We use the first conditional to talk about a future situation that is possible.
IF-CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE
If you try very hard, you will see the difference.
If you see John tell him to give me a call.
PRESENT SIMPLE FUTURE SIMPLE/ IMPERATIVE

C. We use the second conditional to talk about a situation that is unlikely to happen.
IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE
If you did that, I would leave right away.
If I were you, I would develop regular study habits.
PAST SIMPLE WOULD + INFINITIVE (present conditional)

D. We use the third conditional when talking about a past condition that cannot be fulfilled, because the action in
the if-clause didn't happen.
IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE
If he hadn't missed the train, he wouldn't have been late.
PAST PERFECT WOULD + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE (perfect
conditional)

E. Mixed conditionals
IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE
If I hadn’t had an anti-virus, my computer would be so slow now.
PAST PERFECT WOULD + INFINITIVE
If I was industrious, I would have been able to pass.
PAST SIMPLE PERFECT CONDITIONAL

NOW, REPHRASE EVERY SENTENCE WITHOUT THE WORD “IF”.
