By: Katie Gibbons, AJ Masino, Justin Hutchinson, Aaron Brady

2. Definition: A condition is… a mood, tense, or other category used in expressing conditions

3. Zero Conditional “REAL” Deals with “real” conditions
Zero Conditional “REAL” Deals with “real” conditions . It is called “real” because it has already happened, and it will always happen this way. If you stick your fingers in the fire, they get burned. If people eat too much, they get fat. If you study, you get a good grade. If babies are hungry, they get cranky. KEY WORD: GET

4. How to construct a zero conditional sentence… We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs, one in the ‘if clause’ and one in the ‘main clause’. If + present simple sentence

5. First Conditional “UNREAL, LIKELY” Deals with “unreal, but likely” situations in the present or future. It is “unreal” because the situation that is described hasn’t happened yet, and is “likely” because you can easily imagine it happening. If you stick your fingers into the fire, you will burn yourself. If it rains, I will not go to the park. If I study today, I will go to the party tonight. If I have enough money, I will buy new shoes. KEY WORD: WILL

6. How to construct a first conditional sentence… The first conditional sentence has the present simple sentence after if, then the future simple sentence in the other clause

7. Second Conditional “UNREAL AND UNLIKELY” Deals with situations in the present and future that are both unreal and unlikely. The situation is described as not happening yet, and you can’t imagine it happening very easily. If you stuck your fingers in the fire, you would need medical attention. If I won the lottery, I would buy a bigger house. If I met a celebrity, I would ask for an autograph. KEY WORD: WOULD AND COULD

8. How to construct a second conditional sentence… The second conditional uses the past simple sentence after if, then ‘would’ and the infinitive If + past simple…would + infinitive

9. Third Conditional “UNREAL” Deals with situation in the past that are “unreal” and didn’t happen. You can still imagine what the consequences could be. If you stuck your hand into the fire, you would have needed medical attention. If she had studied, she would have passed the exam. If I hadn’t eaten so much, I wouldn’t have felt so sick. If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn’t have missed the plane. KEY PHRASE: WOULD/WOULDN’T HAVE

10. How to construct a third conditional sentence… We make the third conditional by using the past after ‘if’ and then ‘would have’ and the past participle in the second part of the sentence.

11. Identify which conditional phrase each sentence is and underline the key word/phrase - If you got lost in the maze, you would have needed someone to come find you. - If you had failed the test, you would need extra credit. - If you eat the apple, you won’t get hungry. - If you jump off a cliff, you will die. - If you had forgotten to do your chores, you wouldn’t have gotten your allowance.
