Conditional sentences. Grammar and exercises for 1º BACH.
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
Conditional sentences have two parts: the if-clause and the main clause. In the sentence
If it rains I'll stay at home
"If it rains" is the if-clause, and "I'll stay at home" is the main clause.
There are three kinds of conditional sentences.
Type 1: probable
The verb in the if-clause is in the present tense; the verb in the main clause is in the future tense. It doesn't matter which comes first.
If he runs he'll get there in time.
You'll be ill if you eat all that.
This type of sentence implies that the action in the if-clause is quite probable.
Note that the meaning here is present of future.
Possible variations of the basic form
If (present) - may/can/must/imperative/present
If your documents are in order you may leave at once.
If it stops snowing we can go out.
If you want to lose weight you must eat less bread.
If you want to lose weight eat less bread.
If you heat ice it turns to water.
Instead of if we can also use unless.(=if not)
Ex. Unless you start a diet, you won´t be on top form.
- If you don´t go to Madrid, you won´t be able to see The Prado Museum.
............................................................................................................................(unless)
If you use unless, the sentence must go in affirmative.
Type 2: improbable or unreal
The verb in the if-clause is in the past tense; the verb in the main clause is in the conditional tense.
If I had a map I would lend it to you.
If he knew that it was dangerous he wouldn't come.
If I
Type 2 refers to the present of future, and the past tense in the if-clause is not a true past but a subjunctive, which indicates unreality or improbability. We don't expect the action in the if-clause to take place:
If I won a prize in a lottery I'd give up my job.
We also use the second conditional to give advice.
Ex. If I were you I wouldn´t do that
- Give advice about the following matters:
- Dejar de fumar
..................................................................................................
- Leer más libros
..................................................................................................
- No llegar tarde
..................................................................................................
- Quedarme en casa
..................................................................................................
Possible variations of the basic form
might or could may be used instead of would
If I knew her number I could ring her up.
If he had a degree he could get a job.
Type 3: impossible
The verb in the if-clause is in the past perfect tense; the verb in the main clause is in the perfect conditional. The time is past and the condition cannot be possible because the action in the if-clause didn't happen.
If I had known that you were coming I would have met you at the airport. (but I didn't know, so I didn't come)
If you had spoken more slowly he would have understood you.
(but he didn't speak slowly)
Possible variations of the basic form
could or might may be used instead of would
If Jim hadn't lent me the money I couldn't have bought the car.
If we had found him earlier we might have saved his life.
