2. What are Conditionals? Conditionals are sentences that explain a particular situation of circumstance. If a certain condition is true, then a particular result happens.

3. There are four main conditionals that are used most commonly in the English language: first conditional, second conditional, third conditional and zero conditional.

4. The first conditional deals with issues that have a real possibility of occurring. If you drop the cup, it will break.

5. The structure of the 1 st conditionals is: IFConditionResult Ifit rains,we will get wet OR ResultIFCondition We will get wetifit rains.

6. If we miss the bus, we’ll walk

7. If you go to see this film, you will have a good time

8. He won’t be a doctor, if he doesn’t go to university

9. If you don’t sleep, you will be tired.

10. If the weather isn’t good tomorrow, we can’t go to the beach.

(to lose) If someone ___________________ you a bike, you can come with us. (to lend) keeps forgets don’t go will lose lends

14. Second conditionals describe an unreal or very unlikely future. Because the condition (if-clause) isn't real, the result (main clause) will never occur. For example: If she won the lottery, she would quit her job.

Imagine someone gave you $20,000 on the condition that you had to spend it all in two weeks, what would you do with the money? (What if a second condition said that you could not buy anything that could be kept and that you could not donate the money?)

24. IGGYBOOGIE You are pushed through the forest until you reach their village. They stop in front of the Witchdoctors’ hut. It is decorated in bright colours. On the walls are the heads of many animals. On the floor is a rug with bold patterns ….. Written In Blood!

25. IGGYBOOGIE As if from nowhere, the two Witchdoctors appear; standing on the carpet. They smell evil and spicy. “IGGYBOOGIE” – shout the two Witchdoctors.

26. IGGYBOOGIE “Can we eat him?” “Can we eat him?” – scream the tribe. “It is the Law of IGGYBOOGIE” Two of the older members of the tribe start gathering wood to light a fire; another peels some garlic and stuffs it in your mouth.
