Conditional clauses have two parts: the condition (if-clause) and the result (main clause). There are four main types of conditional sentences:
1) Zero/present conditional for real situations that can happen at any time.
2) First conditional for likely future events using present tense in the if-clause and will in the main clause.
3) Second conditional for unlikely or imaginary situations using past tense in both clauses.
4) Third conditional for impossible past situations using past perfect in the if-clause and would have in the main clause.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. What is a conditional ?
A conditional sentence has two clauses:the
condition and the result or main clause.
EX. If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
The if-clause can come before or after the result
clause. If it comes before, it is separated by a
comma. If it comes after, no comma is needed.
EX. You will pass the exam if you study hard.
3. Present or zero conditional
If + simple present, simple present
It is used to describe real situations that
can happen at any time or an event that
always follows another. If can be replaced
by when.
EX. When/If you heat ice, it melts.
When/If I eat spicy food, I always get stomachache.
4. First Conditional (future or
real conditional)
If + present simple, will+ bare infinitive.
When you think something is likely to happen or you
want to talk about the results of a possible future
condition.
EX. If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
The If-clause refers to the future but using a present
tense.
You can also use the present continuous in the if-clause,
and a modal or an imperative in the main clause.
EX. If it’s raining tomorrow, they might not go for a picnic.
EX. If you arrive late, don’t call me.
5. Alternatives to if
UNLESS (=if…not)
EX. Unless you study hard, you won’t pass the exam.
(If you don’t study hard)
IN CASE(= precautions, things we do in
advance)
EX. Take the umbrella in case it rains.
(It might/ might not rain but you will be prepared)
EVEN IF/ THOUGH (=emphasis)
EX. Even if/though I become a millionaire, I will
always be a socialist.
PROVIDED/ PROVIDING/AS LONG AS
Ex. You can borrow my bike providing/provided you
bring it back at 11:00. (=you must give it back by
11:00)
6. Second Conditional (Unreal,
hypothetical)
If +simple past, would+bare infinitive.
We use the second conditional for:
Future situations that are possible but unlikely.
Also, for present situations that are unreal.
EX. If I won the lotto, I would buy a Ferrari.
EX. If we had the key, we would open the door.
And to give some advice, we use the expression:If I were you, …
Were is used with the first and the third person singular, although was is
also used in spoken English
If I were you, I would go to the doctor
Could or might can be used in the main clause instead of would.
EX. If they were friends, they could go out together.
7. Alternatives to if
We can also introduce unreal conditional
clauses with:
UNLESS (for unlikely conditions but not
unreal conditions)
I wouldn’t ask you for help unless I needed it.
IMAGINE/ SUPPOSE (to ask about
imaginary situations)
Imagine you were a fairy, what would you do?
Suppose you had the opportunity, would you give her
away?
8. Third Conditional (Impossible)
If + past perfect, would have+ p. participle.
We use the third conditional to imagine situations or
actions in the past that we know are the opposite of the
facts.
Or talk about regrets from our past (often with could have)
EX. If I had known that you were in hospital, I would have visited
you. =(that’s impossible now)
EX.If I had studied harder, I could have passed the exam. (=I
should have done it, but I didn’t)
Could/ might +have + p. participle can be used in the
main clause instead of would have+ p. participle.
EX.If I hadn’t broken my leg skiing, I could/ might have been a
footballer.
9. Mixed Conditionals
Mixed past to present conditional : we use them to talk about present results of a
hypothetical past action
If +3rd, 2nd
If +past perfect, would/could/might+bare infinitive .
Mixed present to past conditional : We use them to talk about a hypothetical present
condition and a past result.
If +2nd, 3rd
If + past simple, would/could/might + have+p.participle .
EX. If I had missed the train, I wouldn’t be here now.(= I didn’t miss the train, so I am here now)
Ex. If I had learnt German, I could be working for Siemens!
EX. If I had a mobile phone, I would have called you last night.(= I don’t have a mobile so I didn’t call you
last night)
EX. If you were a better student, you could have gone to university.
Mixed past to future conditional : we use them to talk about results of past action
If +2nd, 1st
If + past simple, will+ infinitive / be going to
EX. If the plane took off at nine, they will be here by eleven.
