00:00:00,730 --> 00:00:05,070
hi everybody today the focus of our lesson is going to be the conditionals

2
00:00:05,070 --> 00:00:11,250
so we're going to review from zero one two conditionals and then we're going to

3
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:17,489
introduce the third one okay so let's start first of all let's have a look at

4
00:00:17,489 --> 00:00:22,010
the conditional zero the conditional zero is used to describe facts that

5
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:29,789
happen always and normally you normally use the if plus present simple and in

6
00:00:29,789 --> 00:00:34,469
the main clause you use present simple as well for example if I eat peanuts I

7
00:00:34,469 --> 00:00:41,009
get sick that means that every time that I eat peanuts I get sick that's why I

8
00:00:41,009 --> 00:00:49,310
use present and present now back to you can you guess the conditional that these

9
00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:59,000
images represent have a try moving on to the first conditional the use is

10
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,780
restricted to talk about possible future events that is events are likely to

11
00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:13,459
happen in the future for example if I study a lot I will pass the exam so it's

12
00:01:13,459 --> 00:01:20,239
very likely that if I pull my socks up and I study a lot the result will be

13
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:27,560
that I will pass the exam so the first conditional is normally has the form of

14
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,019
if plus present and then in the main clause future there are variations you

15
00:01:33,019 --> 00:01:38,900
can use future with will with going to or even present continues as long as it

16
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:44,659
refers to the future and now back to you again look at the picture can you think

17
00:01:44,659 --> 00:01:49,120
of what Trump may have said to his potential voters before the elections

18
00:01:49,120 --> 00:02:00,000
give it a go regarding the second conditional and about its usage we have

19
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
to say that this conditional is used to refer to hypothetical situations so

20
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,719
situations that are not likely to happen in the near future for example I can say

21
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:20,520
if I had money I would buy a massive house so I'm using the past simple in

22
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:27,240
the if clause and would plus infinitive without to in the second clause if I

23
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,520
need to use the verb to be you have to take into account one thing that is that

24
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:40,680
normally you use where instead of was so that was is also accepted so there are

25
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:48,120
several possibilities I can say if I was rich or if I were rich both of them are

26
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:56,780
possible the only the only case where was not possible is when you need to use

27
00:02:56,780 --> 00:03:02,900
it as a piece of advice for example if I were you I would but in the rest of the

28
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:09,439
cases was is also possible so as I was saying you would need to use past in the

29
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:15,139
if clause and would plus infinity without to in the second clause in the

30
00:03:15,139 --> 00:03:21,780
main clause and now back to you again what would this girl say about being the

31
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:26,300
future president of the US think about the fact that we are referring to

32
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:40,099
hypothetical situations. Finally, let's have a look at the third conditional. It is normally used to

33
00:03:40,099 --> 00:03:47,460
refer to regrets, so things that you regret doing, things that you wish you hadn't done, or to

34
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:54,659
speculate about the different results of a specific situation. For example, if I fail an exam, I would

35
00:03:54,659 --> 00:04:03,939
say if i had studied more i would have passed the exam did i pass the exam no did i study a lot

36
00:04:03,939 --> 00:04:09,219
no so we i'm speculating about a different situation

37
00:04:12,099 --> 00:04:17,379
another example would be if you hadn't forgotten your keys we would have been able to enter our

38
00:04:17,379 --> 00:04:24,699
house so as I have as the person has forgotten his or her keys the result is

39
00:04:24,699 --> 00:04:30,180
that we couldn't enter our house so we are speculating about the results of an

40
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:36,579
action that actually didn't happen so the conditional is used with if plus

41
00:04:36,579 --> 00:04:41,639
past perfect and then in the second clause we would use would plus have plus

42
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:48,480
past participle. Just one thing that I would like to point out when

43
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,759
talking about conditional is the pronunciation. You normally use, instead

44
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:59,019
of pronouncing would have passed, for example, you normally pronounce it as if

45
00:04:59,019 --> 00:05:04,139
it were one word. For example, I would have passed, we would have been. Can you

46
00:05:04,139 --> 00:05:08,800
see that we are not using, we are not pronouncing the different words

47
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,819
separately we're pronouncing as if they were one word okay and some food for

48
00:05:15,819 --> 00:05:20,740
thought for you look at the picture of this Trump supporter what does this

49
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:29,810
Trump supporter regret and finally as a conclusion here you can find like the

50
00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:38,120
the summary of all the conditionals we theory conditional serial conditional

51
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,839
you would need to use present simple plus present simple with the first

52
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,199
conditional present simple plus future, second conditional past simple plus would,

53
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,560
and finally with the third conditional past perfect and would've. I hope you

54
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:59,459
have understood everything perfectly. Let's find out in the next exercise. See ya!
