As your teachers have told you you have to revise what you know

about the conditionals.

May I remind you of the uses and theory of them
Im telling you as clear as possible a strategy and technique to do it
properly.

THE ZERO CONDITIONAL

Rules:
It is used for a situation which is

always true

The tense ( present tense ) is the same in both

parts of the conditional.

If you dont water the plants

they die
Example :

Explanation:
Its absolutely certain that one day or another the plants die
if you dont wter them
Question: Why do we call this a ZERO CONDITIONAL?
Because there is no change of the tense
( present tense ) and it
always happens

THE FIRST CONDITIONAL

Rules:
It is used for a posible future action which depends
on another action
The tenses are as follows: If + present tense +
.will + verb

If you work hard you will pass

the exam
Example:

Warning!!!!! See the difference between this conditional and the

zero conditional:

In the zero conditional is sure to happen

In this first conditional there is a possibility but it

is not absolutely true

THE SECOND CONDITIONAL

Rules:
It is used to express an imaginary situation at the
moment of speaking
Its like a dream for the moment of

speaking
It can also be used for a remote possibility in
the future
You must use the past for the condition and

would + the verb in the main sentence

Examples of both uses :

If I had more money , I would (Id) buy a car (a

present dream)
( I havent got enough money at the
moment)
If I won the competition, Id go on a world cruise
( a possibility in the future )

THE THIRD CONDITIONAL

Rules:
It is used for an imaginary situation referring
to a past action
Its like a lament but you cant change the
events.
If + past perfect
Perfect conditional
Example:
If I had not arrived late I would have
done the exam

Look at these examples:

Ann stole the money so she went to prison

She couldnt change things .She couldnt avoid
prison . So the only thing she could do was to regret it but
nothing else.:
If Ann hadnt stolen the money , she wouldnt have
gone to
prison
This conditional is also called : THE IMPOSSIBLE
CONDITION because you cant change things
