Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. 6 TIPS on CONDITIONAL TENSE
Grammar Rules and Tips for using Conditional Tense
2. Conditional Tenses
Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen,
what might have happened, and what we wish would happen. In all
cases, these sentences are made up of an if clause and a main clause.
Classifying Conditional tenses based on the nature of the condition:
If you study hard, you will get a medal. (Open Condition)
If you studied hard, you would get a medal. (Improbable or imaginary
condition)
If you had studied hard, you would have got a medal. (Unfulfilled or
unreal condition)
3. Classifying Conditional Tenses
Usage If clause verb tense Main clause verb tense
Open
Condition
Improbable
Condition
Unfulfilled
Condition
A possible condition
and its probable result
Simple present
If you study hard,
Simple Future (will /shall
/can/ may + plain infinitive)
you will get a medal.
A hypothetical
condition and its
probable result
Simple past
If you studied hard,
Present/ Continuous
Conditional
(would/should/could
/might + plain infinitive)
you would get a medal.
An unreal past
condition and its
probable result in the
past
Past perfect
If you had studied hard,
Perfect /Continuous
Conditional
(would/should/could
/might + perfect infinitive)
you would have got a
medal.
4. Conditionals: Open Condition
Used to describe that something will happen if a certain condition is
fulfilled or refers to a possible condition and its probable result.
Facts:
If you hit the dog, it will bite you.
Give Warnings:
If you don't leave, I'll call the police.
Modals in main clause to express certainty, permission, or a recommendation:
If you drop that glass, it might break.
Interrogative version:
What will you do if you miss the bus?
Reverse order:
If it rains, you will get wet.
You will get wet if it rains.
5. Conditionals: Improbable Condition
Used to describe that something which we don't expect
to happen or refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable
result. Although the If clause takes a past tense, the sentence actually talks
about the Present.
Hypothetical Situation:
If I had a degree, I could get a job easily.
Present Continuous Conditional (expresses an unfinished or continuing action or situation):
You wouldn't be smiling if you knew the truth.
Modals in main clause to express certainty, permission, or a recommendation:
He could go to the concert if you gave him your ticket.
Interrogative version:
If you were a millionaire, how would you spend your time ?
Reverse order:
If it rained, you would get wet.
You would get wet if it rained.
6. Conditionals: Unfulfilled Condition
Used to describe that something did not happen because a certain condition
was not fulfilled or refers to an impossible condition and its probable result in
past.
Regret:
If I had worked harder I would have passed the exam.
Perfect Conditional Tense (would + have + past participle):
I would have bought you a present if I had known it was your birthday.
Modals in main clause to express certainty, permission, or a recommendation:
You could have been on time if you had caught the bus.
Interrogative version:
Would she have gone to concert if you had given her the tickets?
Reverse order:
If it had rained, you would have gotten wet.
You would have gotten wet if it had rained.
8. Zero Conditional: Used to make statements
about the real world, general truths, scientific
facts.
Nature: Real and possible
Time: Now and always
Formation: If + simple present -- main clause
+ simple present
Example:
If you heat ice, it melts.
When you heat ice, it melts. ("if" can be
replaced with "when", because both express
general truths)
If Suresh comes, tell him to meet me at the
office. (using the imperative in the main
clause to give instructions)
Tip #1: Zero
Conditional
Mixed Conditional: Used to express an unreal
present situation and its probable but unreal
past .
Nature: unreal and improbable
Time: Now and always + Past
Formation: If + past perfect-- main clause +
present conditional
OR If + simple past-- main clause + perfect
conditional
Example:
If you had warned me then , I would not be in
prison now. (If + past perfect-- main clause +
present conditional)
If I wasn't afraid of dogs, I would have picked it
up. (If + simple past-- main clause + perfect
conditional )
Tip #2: Mixed
Conditional
9. Will, Would: normally ‘will’ or ‘would’ is
not used in if clauses. However to express
willingness or requests, they can be used in
if clauses.
If it will rain today you will get wet.
(Wrong)
If you will come this way, the manager will
see you now. (Correct)
Would and had can be contracted to ‘d:
If I’d (would) known you were in hospital,
I’d (had) have visited you. (Wrong)
If I’d (had) known you were in hospital, I’d
(would) have visited you. (Correct)
Tip #3: Will,
Would, Had Tip #4: Some, Any
Somewhere, Anywhere: After if, we
can either use "some(-one, -where)" or
"any(-one, -where)”. Though both refer
to undetermined quantities, there is a
subtle difference.
Any: extends without limit but usually
used in negative sense.
If I have any spare time next weekend, I
will meet you. (there is hardly any time
to spare)
Some: a limiting word but expecting a
positive outcome
If I have some spare time next
weekend, I will meet you. (chances are
high that there will be time)
10. Unless: to express negative
conditionals, ‘unless’ should be used.
I'll be back tomorrow if there is not a
plane strike. (Wrong)
I'll be back tomorrow unless there is a
plane strike. (Correct)
Tip #5: Unless,
Were: For unreal conditionals, ‘were’
is used instead of ‘was’.
If I was taller, I would buy this dress.
(Wrong)
If I were taller, I would buy this dress.
(Correct)
Tip #6: Were

VO: 10 Tips on using adverbs
VO:
VO:
VO:
VO:
VO: Each of the following sentences will contain a mistake in the usage of Present Tense.
VO: Can you spot the errors in these 5 sentences? Please pause the video here to see if you can spot all 5 errors.
VO: The sentence If you freeze water, it might become a solid is incorrect because it is speaking of a scientific truth so is a zero conditional. And in zero conditional the tense in both parts of the sentence is the simple present. So the correct answer is If you freeze water, it becomes a solid.
If you dropped that glass, it will break –this is a wrong sentence because this is a Type 1 conditional sentence. So the tense in the 'if' clause is the simple present, and the tense in the main clause is the simple future. But here the tense in ‘if’ clause is in past tense, that is, ‘dropped’. So the correct answer is If you drop that glass, it will break.
If I was a billionaire, I would have given everyone a job- this sentence is incorrect because for hypothetical conditionals, ‘were’ should be used instead of ‘was’. So the correct answer is If I were a billionaire, I would give everyone a job.
I would have been happy if you were calling me on my birthday—is a wrong sentence because considering the main clause is in perfect conditional form it is a Type 3 Conditional so the ‘if’ clause should be past perfect. So the correct answer is I would have been happy if you had called me on my birthday.
The sentence I'd (had) have bought you a present if I'd (would) known it was your birthday- is incorrect because would never appears in the if-clause so if 'd appears in the if clause, it must be abbreviating had. Also had never appears before have so if 'd appears on a pronoun just before have, it must be abbreviating would. The correct answer is I'd (would) have bought you a present if I'd (had) known it was your birthday.
VO: Can you spot the errors in these 5 sentences? Please pause the video here to see if you can spot all 5 errors.
VO: The sentence I would have been happy to help you if I am not in a financial crisis- is incorrect because it is a Mixed conditional sentence, so the ‘if’ clause will be in Simple Past. The correct sentence is I would have been happy to help you if I wasn't in a financial crisis.
We shall celebrate the party outdoors if it not rains next week- is not correct because in case conditional sentences usually we use ‘unless’ instead of ‘if not’ to the state the negative. So the correct answer is We shall celebrate the party outdoors unless it rains next week.
The sentence If you look inside the fridge, you might find any food.– is not correct because here the speaker seems to indicate there is a positive possibility that there is food inside the fridge. And such cases, we use ‘some’ in place of ‘any’ which indicates negative. So the answer is The sentence If you look inside the fridge, you might find some food.
If I was you, I would give up smoking– is wrong because it is a Type 2 Conditional Tense and in this case it is correct, and very common to say "if I were" instead of "if I was" . So the correct answer is If I were you, I would give up smoking.
