Presentation on theme: "First Conditional (unit 38)"— Presentation transcript:

1 First Conditional (unit 38)
It’s winter time and very cold. You say: If it snows tomorrow, I won’t go to work. There is a real possibility that it will snow. So here we use the FIRST CONDITIONAL: If + the present simple, will/won’t in result clause.

2 Second Conditional (unit 39)
You don’t have much money and would like to have more. You say to your friend: If I won the lottery, I’d definitely give up working and just enjoy my life. You are imagining a situation that will probably not happen, so we use the SECOND CONDITIONAL: If + past simple, would/wouldn’t in result clause.

3 Third Conditional (unit 40)
Last month Gary was in hospital for a few days. Rachel didn’t know this, so she didn’t go to visit him. They met a few days ago and Rachel said: If I had known you were in hospital, I would have gone to see you. This type of conditional refers to a situation which has already happened in the past but which cannot be changed. Use If + had + past participle, would have + past participle in the result clause.

4 WISH 1(units 39 and 41) Use WISH to say that we regret something in the present. In this context we use wish with the past: I wish I knew what to do about the problem. (but I don’t know and I regret this).

5 WISH 2 (units 40 and 41) To say we regret something that happened in the past: I wish I had known about the party. I would have gone if I had known. (but I didn’t). Use Wish + had + past participle

6 WISH 3 (unit 41) To complain about a situation or a person that are irritating: I wish you wouldn’t keep interrupting me. I wish you would do something instead of just sitting around and doing nothing. Wish + subject + would/woudn’t and bare infinitive.
