GRAMMAR 1 2.1. CONDITIONALS CONDITIONAL USE EXAMPLES Zero Present simple + present simple To describe the usual consequences of a real situation. If you heat water, it boils. First Present simple + will/won’t + infinitive To describe the consequences of a possible or probable action or situation in the present or future. If there is blood on the water, the sharks will come. To give advice If you stay still, the tattoo hurts less. Watch out→ If you aren’t certain about a result, you can use might/might not instead of will/won’t. If we pour fish near the boat, the sharks might come. Second Past simple + Would + infinitive To express something that is imaginary. The is clause talks about an unlikely or impossible situation, and the result clause talks about the imaginary results. If you had a superpower, I’d be so surprised. In certain fixed expressions. If I were you, I’d take her to dance (used to give advice). Watch out 1) When you are not sure about the result, you can use the modal verbs might and could instead of would. 2) We can used could to mean “would be able to” 3) In the if clause, with I/he/she/it, we often use were instead of was. This is more formal. If I were braver, I might swim with sharks. If it wasn’t raining, we could go to the beach. Third Past perfect + would have + past participle To talk about situations that didn’t happen in the past (opposite to what actually happened). If she hadn’t missed the train, she would have seen her sister. Watch out→We can also use the modal verbs could or might instead of would. If you had been busy this week, you might have slept less than usual. 2.2. MIXED CONDITIONALS We used mixed conditionals when the time reference in the if clause is different from the time reference in the main clause. They are usually a combination of second and third conditionals, but other combinations are possible. If there wasn’t volcano surfing, they wouldn’t have gone to Nicaragua. Second conditional if clause + third conditional result clause. If there wasn’t volcano surfing refers to present time, whereas they wouldn’t have gone refers to past time. If I had been volcano surfing, my friends would think I was cool. Third conditional if clause + second conditional result clause. If I had gone volcano surfing refers to past time, whereas my friends would think I was cool refers to present time. 2.3. AS LONG AS, EVEN IF, PROVIDED THAT, UNLESS - AS LONG AS:mientras - EVEN IF: incluso si - PROVIDED THAT: siempre que - UNLESS: a menos que 2.4. WISHES & REGRETS 2
