Conditionals

- what actually happens
- what could happen
- what we wish would happen
- what might have happened
Example.
If I got sick, I would go the doctor
[ 'IF ' clause ] & [ result clasue]

Types -
• zero conditional
IF + present simple, present simple
- habits / facts / truths
Eg. If you put ice in your drink it melts.

• first conditionals
IF + present simple, will + verb infin.
- possibilities
Eg. If it's hot tomorrow, I'll go for a swim at the beach.

• Second conditional
IF + past simple, would + verb infin.
- imaginary situation
Eg. If I had more money, I would buy a boat.

• third conditional
IF + past perfect, would have + past participle
- past unreal
- imaging a different past
Eg. If we had looked at the weather report, we would have stayed home!

If I had watched this video before my English exam, I would have passed it

[shirin]

If I eat healthy food, I stay fit.
If we leave now, we will catch the bus on time.
If I finished work earlier, I would come with you to watch the match.
If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam.
I really appreciate it Emma.

[winchester_]

1. If I eat more fruits and vegetables, I feel healthier

2. If we leave now, we won't be late at least for half an hour

3. If I finished work earlier, I would probably meet my friends at our favorite cafe

4. If I had had more courage to stand for what was important for me back then, I would have been faster at achieving my goals now

Thank you for the lesson!

A fellow English teacher from Johannesburg South Africa. Thank you for an excellent presentation and explanation as well as a quality production. Students I have shared this with really appreciated it.

[Naids]

If I hadn't found Emma's channel a while ago, I wouldn't have known many interesting things about English. Thanks for the lesson!

[mmmEnglish_Emma]

What type of conditional sentence do you want me to make a more detailed lesson about?
1. When to use the ZERO or FIRST Conditional?
2. When to use the FIRST or SECOND Conditional?
3. When to use the SECOND Conditional?
4. When to use the THIRD Conditional?

[fatemehmousavi]

If I had known the structure of conditionals, I would have practiced them sooner.
Thank you for your useful lesson!
Love you Emma!😍💕

[abdulkhader]

I am a pastor, I am able to understand very clearly, I thank you for your great effort in order to help us.

[millybnk]

You always save my life! You’re the reason why I pass all of my English exams. Thank you so much Emma😄

[mohituniyal]

If YouTube hadn't recommended me this video, I wouldn't have this much clarity.

[OS-ycqb]

Thank you very much, Emma! Your explanation is perfect!

[limphothejane]

Thank you very much for enlightening our knowledge. You really play a vital role in our lives. Keep it up Emma. And one thing I have realized about an English language is you need to do alot of practices.. God bless you

[tapasyagoel]

I love how interactive this is and how clearly you have drawn the line between the types of sentences.

[paryonofamily]

It's great. i get a new knowledge with this video. When I was a student, I had never studied about zero conditional sentence, what I learned was about first conditional sentence, second and third.

[husseinsalahel-din]

Thank you Emma. That Is first time I have completely learned If Conditionals..

Zero conditional: If I eat too much, I go fat.
First conditional: If we leave now, we will go to the movie theater.
Second conditional: If I finished work earlier, I’d sleep quickly.
Third conditional: If I had known MMM English earlier, I would have saved my time.

Thank you so much Emma. It's really helpful. Hope you safe and healthy ❤️❤️
