First or Second Conditional? English Grammar Practice

Wondering when to use first and second conditional in English? Learn with me and hang around for the Conditionals Quiz at the end!

The 1st Conditional:
We use it to talk about things that are POSSIBLE in the future and have a LIKELY chance of happening!
IF + present simple, WILL + bare infinitive verb
EG: If I miss the bus, I will take a taxi.

The 2nd Conditional:
Use it to talk about IMPOSSIBLE present situations and UNLIKELY future situations
IF + past simple, WOULD + bare infinitive verb
EG: If I missed the bus, I would take a taxi.

Stick about for the QUIZ at the end of the lesson to practice what you learn!

Hi Emma, you are the best English teacher. I like speaking English. With your lessons, I will improve my English grammar practically

[courtneybarrett]

Emma, I enjoy your teaching very much. You have made teaching very simple and understanding easy. I do have problems knowing when to add "ed" to a word when the word is not really past tense. I would say maybe a verb or maybe a adjective.
