What I Need to Know

This module explains concepts on a grammar topic, CONDITIONALS. This topic

focuses on the first two types of conditionals zero conditional and first

conditional.

Conditionals are described as the result of something that might happen (in

the present or future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past). They are

made using different English verb tenses.

Furthermore, this lesson helps students improve their communication sk ills

especially in the accuracy of the use of conditionals in expressing arguments.

Essential learning competency:

Use conditionals in expressing arguments

Learning Objectives:

After going through this module, you (the learner) is expected to:

1. Distinguish first two types of conditionals;

2. Use correct types of conditionals in expressing an argument;

3. Make an argumentative essay on a particular topic or issue using

zero and first conditionals.

What’s In

In the previous module, you learn about modals. Here is a quick exercise of the

lesson you learned last week.

ACTIVITY 2:

A. Use modals of obligation must, have to, should, and ought to correctly in

the followings sentences. Use a separate sheet of paper for your answer.

1. Children ________ obey their parents.

2. Parents ________ respect their children, too.

3. Challenges _________ not keep us from achieving our dreams.

4. Before one talks about an issue, he/she _______ read about it first.

5. The school as a second home, __________ constantly nurture and protect the

rights of children.

B. Use proper modals of permission and prohibition to the following

sentences.

1. ________ I stay with the group?

2. You _______ park here, Sir. The parking lot is full.

3. You ________ shorts but you _______ wear jeans in the pool.

ACTIVITY 3:

What will you do in the following situations? Complete the statements below.

1. What will you do if you pass a difficult exam?

If I pass the exam, _______________________________.

2. What will you do if you meet your favorite Korean actor?

If I meet my favorite Korean actor, _____________________________.

Notice that the answers to the questions above start with the conjunction ‘if’. ‘If’

introduces a clause of the statement, followed by the main clause.

Example: If I meet my favorite Korean actor, I will take a picture with

him.

(Credits to the rightful owner of the photo)

If I meet my favourite Korean actor (if-clause)

I will take a picture with him (main clause)

Note that there are two clauses in the conditional sentence explained above.

What’s New

What Is It

There are several structures in English that we

call conditionals or if conditionals. The word "condition" means "situation or

circumstance". If a particular condition is true, then a particular result happens.

Illustration below shows the sentence construction of conditional sentences.

A conditional sentence has an if-clause which explains the condition and the main

clause which states the result. In Merriam Webster dictionary, a condition is a

premise upon which the fulfillment of an agreement depends. And a result is

something that results as a consequence, issue, or conclusion.

Picture Source: https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verbs -conditional.htm

There are instances when the main clause comes first before the if-clause.

Either way, the sentence is still correct.

For example : ‘If the session ends early, I go home’ is the same in saying

‘I go home if the session ends early’.

What’s More

There are four types of conditional sentences. These are ZERO

CONDITIONALS, FIRST CONDITIONAL, SECOND CONDITIONALS AND THIRD

CONDITIONALS. This module tackles only the first two types.

Illustration below shows the first two types of conditional: ZERO

CONDITIONAL and FIRST CONDITIONAL.

Picture Source: https://grammartop.com/zero-and-first-conditionals/

ZERO CONDITIONALS

We can use zero conditionals to show or express a general truth or a

routine. To do this, we use the present simple in both clauses. (See the verbs ‘is’

and ‘freezes’ on the table above. These are in present simple.)

Moreover, a general truth is facts that are always true or events that always

happen. In Thesaurus.com, synonyms for general truth include universal truth or

obvious truth. A routine, on the other hand, is a habitual activity. In Merriam

dictionary, a routine is a regular course of procedure.

FIRST CONDITIONALS

The first conditional is the possible conditional. It is used to talk about

possible future events and their likely results. If this event happens or if this

condition exists, this will likely happen. To do this, we use the simple present in

the if clause and simple future in the main clause. (See the verbs ‘rains’ and ‘will

not go’ in the example above. These are in present simple and future simple

tenses, respectively.

See table below for the verb forms of each conditional in its if-clause and main

clause.

CONDITIONAL

IF CLAUSE

MAIN CLAUSE

ZERO

PRESENT SIMPLE

PRESENT SIMPLE

FIRST

PRESENT SIMPLE

FUTURE SIMPLE (will +

base of the verb)

This table shows the distinction of the use of tenses in zero and first

conditional.

For zero conditional, the if-clause or also called subordinate clause is in the

present simple tense and its main clause is also in the present simple tense. Note

that the simple present tense is in base form or –s form of the verb.

However, for the first conditional, the if-clause or the subordinate clause is

simple present tense and the main clause is in simple future tense, that is will+ the

base form of the verb.

As an addendum to this explanation, the list of the forms of the verbs used

in both zero conditional and first conditional is not exclusive. That means other

forms of the verbs like imperatives, perfect tense s and modals could also be used.

ACTIVITY 4:

Underline once the verb in the if clause , and twice for the verb in the main

clause. Then distinguish whether the sentence is stated in zero conditional or first

conditional. Use separate sheet for your answer.

Example:

There will be water shortage, if we keep on wasting it. FIRST CONDITIONAL

1. People will get hungry, if they do not eat. _______________

2. My parents get angry with me if I arrive home late. _______________

3. If you touch the fire, you burn yourself. ________________

4. If you study Chinese language, you will learn Mandarin. _____________

5. She will give a party, if she passes the test. _________________

ACTIVITY 5:

Match the first column with the correct answers in the second column.

A B.

1. Zero conditional a. shows possible condition and probable result

2. First conditional b. shows real condition and inevitable result
