CONDITIONALS 1


Conditionals are usually rated as "hard-to-understand" grammar points.

As a matter of fact, it's quite simple to get the hang of using such sentences.


Conditional sentences are characterized by the use of the conjunction IF. There are three different conditional cases:


1. Future possible condition (First conditional);

2. Imaginary present (Second conditional);

3. Imaginary past (third conditional).


Let's focus on the use of the FIRST CONDITIONAL = FUTURE POSSIBLE SITUATION


The construction is:


IF + verb (present conjugation) = WILL + infinitive verb


- If I have enough money, I will travel to the beach on my next vacation.

- Julia will finish her report if she doesn't get any other calls.

- If it rains, we'll have to stay home.

- Tom won't buy a new car if he doesn'tc sell his old one.


Take a look at the links below:





You should remember this kind of conditional indicates sth is POSSIBLE

Best wishes,
