IDENTIFYING

• Conditional sentences have two parts: the subordinate preposition that sets the condition and the main that expresses the result.

• No matter what order they are placed but if the condition goes first, we put a comma after it.

• There are 4 types:• 0 type: present situations and are possible.• EXAMPLE: If you visit China, You speak Chinese.• 1 type: Present or future situations and are probable.• EXAMPLE: If you come early, you might get a parking space.• 2 type: use past and would o could .Are unlikely.• EXAMPLE: If I had the energy, I could go for a run with you.• 3 type: Past perfect and would have .Are impossible.• EXAMPLE: If I had studied pharmacy, I wouldn’t have become economist.

Comparing

• -While the zero type is possible and it´s used with present simple in the two terms, first type is probable and it´s used with present simple in the first term and future in the second term.

• -While the second type is unlikely and it´s used with past simple in the first term and in the second term with “would”, third type is an improbable condition and it´s used with past perfect in the first term and in the second term with “would have”.

Reasons

• The reasons to use conditionals are:• Conditionals are useful for speaking about

hypothetical situations and imagine things because if it doesn´t exist we can´t do it.

Conclusions

• In conclusion, the use of conditional means that an action depends on another.

• The conditional is used to talk about real or unreal situations. • The conditionals are essential in our lives because without

them we could not dream or imagine those things we like so much, without them we could not go on a trip to our island dream or imagine what would be our perfect world.

• So we appreciate them well because they make our lives better.
