This document discusses three types of conditionals in English: zero, first, and second conditional. The zero conditional is used to describe scientific facts or things that are always true. The first conditional refers to possible present or future situations. The second conditional refers to imaginary or unlikely present or future situations. Examples are provided for each type of conditional.

1. Conditionals

2. Zero Conditional

3. We use the zero conditional
to talk about things that are
always true, like a scientific
fact.

4. For example:
● If you mix blue and red, you get purple.
● If it rains, the grass gets wet.
● If I go to bed early, I always get up very early.

6. First Conditional

7. We use the first conditional
when we talk about
possibilities in the present or
in the future.

8. For example:
● If we need to, we’ll rent a car.
● If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
● Elaine will buy the drinks if somebody helps
her carry the bottles.

10. Second Conditional

11. We use the second
conditional to talk about
imaginary situations in the
present or future.

12. For example:
● If he had more time, he would learn karate.
● She could win the prize if she practiced hard.
● If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.
