Example
|
|
First
|
We
use first conditional to refer to possible condition and its probable result.
The time is present or future and the situation is real.
|
If
+ present simple, ...... will + infinitive
|
-
If it rains, you will get wet.
-
If it is a sunny day, I will go to the beach.
|
|
Second
|
We
use second conditional to refer to hypothetical condition and its probable
result. The time is now or any time and the situation is unreal.
|
If
+ past simple, ........ would + infinitive
|
-
If it rained, you would get wet.
-
If I won a lottery, I would buy a big house.
|
|
Third
|
We
use third conditional to refer to an unreal past condition and its probable
past result. The time is past and the situation is contrary to reality.
|
If
+ past perfect,.........would + have + past perticiple
|
-
If it had rained, you would have got wet.
-
If I had worked harder at school, I would have
graduated.
|
Remember :
1.
In conditionals will or would is not
used in if – clauses.
Expect
: If will or would express willingness, s in requests, they can be used in if –
clauses.
For
example :
-
If you will come this way, the boss will
see you now.
-
I would be thankful if you would give me
a little help.
2.
After if, we can either use “ someone,
somewhere” or “anyone, anywhere”.
For
example :
-
If I have some spare time next Monday, I
will come and visit you.
-
If I have any spare time next Monday, I
will come and visit you.
3.
If you switch the clauses around and put
IF in the middle, then you do not use a comma.
For
example :
-
I would consider a bigger discount rate
IF you buy more than 10 units.
-
I will play with you IF you help me finish
the chores.
Conclusion
:conditional if is
