Explaining Conditional sentences in English
Hello. Hola. Soy Cristian Perez Yates. I'm going to explain this one in English, since
00:00:00
this is an English lesson. These are grammar notes I'm going to explain for level B2. I'm
00:00:16
going to talk about conditionals. Conditional sentences. A condition is when you say,
00:00:28
if A, then B. A conditional sentence has two parts. The condition, which goes with if,
00:00:38
and then the result, or the consequence, of that condition. Now, you can say, if A, then B,
00:00:50
or you can invert the order, and you can say, B, if A. Right? When we talk about conditionals
00:00:58
in English, we have basically four different levels. The zero conditional uses the present
00:01:07
simple with the if, and the present simple with the result. If you heat water to 100 degrees,
00:01:16
it boils. Or, if you cool water to zero degrees, it freezes. Water freezes if you cool it.
00:01:24
Okay? As you notice, the zero conditional is very likely. It almost always happens.
00:01:34
We could say it's a general rule. Okay? Now, the first condition, first conditional,
00:01:47
is a little bit less likely. This one is probable. It's possible. All right? But it's not always.
00:01:55
If, with the present simple, and then the result, will or won't, plus the infinitive.
00:02:02
If you give me the money, I will buy the tickets. I will buy the tickets if you give me the money.
00:02:09
All right? If it starts raining, I won't go out tonight. I won't go out tonight if it starts
00:02:16
raining. Okay? Important thing to note is that the present simple goes with if,
00:02:23
and then the result or the consequence goes with will or won't. Will not. Okay? Second conditional.
00:02:31
This one is more improbable. It is imaginary. Could be in the present or the future.
00:02:40
If, with the past simple, and then the result, the consequence, would or wouldn't with infinitive.
00:02:47
If I knew her number, I would call her. This means you do not know her number. Right? I would call
00:02:54
her if I knew her number. We're talking about now in the present. Even though we use the past,
00:03:01
past simple here, this is the past simple, we're talking about right now. If I knew her number,
00:03:09
I would call her. I wouldn't cry if you forgot my birthday. Now, if today you forgot my birthday,
00:03:15
I wouldn't cry. Okay? We're imagining a situation that isn't really happening. All right?
00:03:24
Pay attention to which part goes with the if and which part goes with the result. And finally,
00:03:33
the third conditional. This is an impossible, unreal, hypothetical situation in the past. Okay?
00:03:38
The if goes with the past perfect. And then the result or the consequence goes with would have,
00:03:47
and the past part is simple. If I had studied harder, I would have passed the test.
00:03:57
I would have passed the test if I had studied harder. Did you study harder? No. It's impossible
00:04:04
to study harder. Now, the test already happened. This is in the past, right? We're talking about
00:04:12
something that already happened. We can't change it. But we can imagine, we can have a hypothesis
00:04:16
about what it could have been, what it would have been like. I would have passed if I had
00:04:23
studied harder. Okay? And that's your little overview of conditionals.
00:04:32
I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
