Conditionals

Hello, today I will explain the following:

1. Zero Conditional:

If + Present Simple + Present Simple

if you are a teacher, you work very hard

• we can reverse the order:

Present Simple + if + Present Simple

you work very hard if you are a teacher

2. First Conditional:

We can use the following structure to talk about things that may happen in the future.

if + Present Simple + will/Won´t

(Future Possibility + Result) If it rains, we won´t go out

We can reverse the order:

We won´t go out if it rains

3. Second Conditional

We use the past simple, but it refers to the present, look at this:

If + Past Simple + Would (or´d)

if he worked harder, he would do better.

4. Third Conditional:

we use the following

If + Past Perfect + would have (or ´d have) + past participle

If I had spoken British English very well, I would have used it in Phonetics

We can use wish + had done to talk about the past when we are sorry that something didn´t happen, and we imagine that it did.

that´s all for today

Good bye.
