Conditionals
If you focus well, you will learnthis in no time! ;)
Prepared by Ronuel delRosario
Conditional tenses are used to speculate
about:
- what could happen,
- what might have happened,
- what we wish would happen.
In English, most sentences using
conditionals contain the word if orwhen.
What
are
Conditionals?
Many conditional forms include verbs in one of the
past tenses.
"the unreal past"
This usage is referred to as
because we use a past tense but we are NOT
actually referring to something that happened in the
past.
Conditionals are made up of an if clause and a main
clause. In many negative conditional sentences, we
use "unless" instead of "if" or “when”.

Note!
Conditionals do NOT always have to begin
with the ‘If’ clause.
The main clause can also come first:
“I would have fully rested during my term
break if I had submitted my projects on time”
In this case there is no need for a comma
between the two clauses.
