If we don't hurry up, we'll be late. If you 'relate, I won't wait for you. Question What will you do if you don't go to university? Will you go to university if you pass your exams? Short answer Yes, I will ./No, I won't. Notes English uses a present tense in the condition clause, not a future form. If it rains, I'll stay at home. If I work hard, I’ll pass my exams. The condition clause (if) can come at the beginning of the sentence or the end. Notice the use of the comma. If l work hard , I'll pass my exams. I'll pass my exams if I work hard. Use We use the first conditional to express a possible condition and a probable result in the future. If it's sunny, we'll go for a picnic. You'll get wet if you don't take an umbrella. If expresses a possibility that something will happen. When expresses what the speaker sees as certain to happen. When I get home, I’ll have a shower. ---------------------------------------- * -------------------------------------- Might form might + infinitive without to The form is the same for all persons. Positive and negative We often express the negative with I don't think + will. I don't think it will rain tomorrow. Question We usually ask questions with Do you think ... + will ...? Do you think it'll rain? Short answer Do you think it'll rain? It might. Use We use might to express a future possibility. It means will perhaps. Compare will and might. England will win the match. (I am sure they will.) England might win the match. (It's possible, but I'm not sure.) Form If + Past Simple, would + infinitive without to The form of would is the same for all persons. Positive and negative If I had more money, I'd buy a new computer. (I'd = I would) If I didn't like you, I wouldn't talk to you. Question What would you do if you had a year off? Short answer Would you travel round the world? Yes, I would. / No, I wouldn't. ------------------------------------- * -------------------------------------- Second conditional Form If + Past Simple, would + infinitive without to The form of would is the same for all persons. Positive and negative If I had more money, I'd buy a new computer. (I'd = I would) If I didn't like you, I wouldn't talk to you. Question What would you do if you had a year off? Short answer Would you travel round the world? Yes, I would. / No, I wouldn't. Notes As with the first conditional, the condition clause can come at the beginning or end of the sentence. If I had more time, I'd help. I'd help if I had more time. We often use were instead of was in the condition clause. If I were you, I’d go to bed. If he were taller, he'd be a policeman. The use of the past tense (If I had) and would does not refer to past time. It expresses distance from reality. If I had... (but I don't have ...) I would... (but I won't ...) Use We use the second conditional to express an unreal or improbable condition and its result. If I were the President, I'd stop all war. (But I'm not the President ...) We often use the phrase If I were you, I'd ... to give advice. If I were you, I'd call the doctor. First and second conditional The first conditional is possible and probable. The second conditional is improbable and sometimes impossible. If I win the tennis match, I'll be so happy. (I think it's possible.) If I won the tennis match, I'd be so happy. (But I don't think I will.) ---------------------------------------- * -------------------------------------- Channel playlists: VOCABULARY: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv...
