2. DEFINE A CONDITIONAL SENTENCE
A conditional sentence is one in which
one of the clauses state the condition for
the action indicated in the second
clause to be performed.
3. TYPES OF CONDITIONALS
There are four types of conditional
Type 0 conditional
The first conditional
The second conditional
The third conditional
4. TYPE 0 CONDITIONAL
It is used for general truths , when a
situation always occurs and when
something is of standard practice
We use this pattern:
If + simple present + simple present
5. THE FIRST CONDITIONAL
These sentences describe something
that is likely to take place . So they are
also called as probable or likely
conditional.
We use this pattern:
If + simple present tense + will/will not
6. THE SECOND CONDITIONAL
The “if” clauses indicate unreal
situations in the second conditional . So
we call them unlikely or improbable
conditionals
We use this pattern:
If +simple pattern + would
7. THE THIRD CONDITIONAL
The third conditional is used for actions
that are impossible to happen. The
conditional cannot be fulfilled because
the main clause refers to an event that
has already occurred.
We use this pattern:
If + past perfect, would/ could etc.+
have + past participle.
