English class after the Christmas break. Before Christmas we had a look at
00:00:00
different forms of talking about the future and we'll talk about that in
00:00:11
class too. But today we're going to move on to something that is related but it's
00:00:19
not exactly the future. It's the conditional sentences. Let's have a look
00:00:29
at what we are talking about. Conditional sentences are sentences that have two
00:00:35
parts. These two parts have this name the if clause and the main clause. So look at
00:00:45
this example. If it rains tomorrow is the if clause. We will not come. That is the
00:00:58
main clause. The if clause is called like that because it usually has the word if.
00:01:09
It is the part of the sentence that talks about a condition and the main
00:01:19
clause usually has to do with the result of that condition. The order of the two
00:01:30
clauses in the conditional sentence is not important. That is, I can have the if
00:01:41
clause first or second if it rains I'll stay at home however or ill I'll stay at
00:01:52
home if it rains but there is a difference when the if clause is placed
00:02:09
at the beginning of the sentence there has to be a comma between the if clause
00:02:20
and the main clause. As you can see in this other example, there is no comma
00:02:30
between the two parts of the sentence. I stayed home, went to the beginning
00:02:37
or at the end of the sentence. There are, and I say three or four types of
00:02:47
conditional sentences because there are actually four but we are just going to
00:02:59
deal with three and today we are just going to deal with two. Each type of
00:03:07
conditional sentence uses different tenses, different verb tenses to show a
00:03:17
difference or the difference in how probable the result can be. You're gonna
00:03:25
see this in a very simple way when we start looking at each of the
00:03:31
types of conditional sentences. The important thing that I want you to know
00:03:35
now is that there are different verb tenses in each conditional sentence. So
00:03:40
what are these three types of conditional sentences that we're going
00:03:53
to look at the first conditional this is the structure if plus present we will see
00:03:59
what this is and then the other part of the sentence in the main clause the
00:04:09
future if I'll study I'll pass the second conditional if goes with past and
00:04:14
And there's a would and infinitive in the main clause.
00:04:24
If I studied, I would pass.
00:04:30
And the third conditional.
00:04:33
If would pass perfect and would have in the other part of the sentence.
00:04:38
I'm sorry, but there should be a comma here, okay?
00:04:43
If I had studied, I would have passed.
00:04:46
But that we will leave for the next day.
00:04:50
First conditional.
00:04:56
know. So the first conditional, the if clause and the main clause have these
00:04:57
tenses in them. In the if clause we are always going to find a verb in the
00:05:06
present tense. In the main clause we are always going to find a verb in the
00:05:14
future present tense future tense look at these two examples if I feel sick
00:05:22
tomorrow that's present I will not go to school that's how we form the future if
00:05:32
you remember with will and the negative in this case of will is adding or is
00:05:41
made by adding NOT to WILL. This is another example. This is in the IF clause
00:05:49
we've got PRESENT. If it rains then in the main clause we've got FUTURE. A match
00:05:56
will be cancelled. Remember that after WILL the verb goes in INFINITIVE. That means
00:06:04
it doesn't change for the person. What do we use the first conditional for? We
00:06:09
We use the first conditional to speak about possible or probable future events, so things
00:06:19
that are likely to happen, things that are probable to happen.
00:06:26
If the weather is sunny tomorrow, we will go surfing.
00:06:31
It's probable that we go surfing.
00:06:36
Note that in the if clause we've got present, whereas in the main clause we've got future.
00:06:40
We also use the fast conditional to make promises or warnings.
00:06:47
If you forget my birthday, I'll never speak to you again, I promise.
00:06:54
To give commands or orders.
00:07:02
If you are tired, go to bed.
00:07:08
The only difference here is that in this case, in the case when we use the fast conditional
00:07:11
forgiving commands or orders this part of this in the main clause we are not
00:07:17
really using the present tense but we are using that imperative in this case
00:07:23
the verb in the main clause is an imperative how about the second
00:07:32
conditional tenses in the second conditional the tenses in the second
00:07:45
conditional the verb tenses in the second conditional go like this in the
00:07:51
if clause we use the past past simple in the main clause we use would in would is
00:07:56
followed by infinitive note just one thing I think you'll find helpful would
00:08:06
never and I say and I repeat never goes in the same part of the sentence as if
00:08:15
Okay? Try to have that clear. That will help. Examples. If he were a bird, he would
00:08:25
fly all over the world. Would, an infinitive. In the first part of the
00:08:37
sentence, in the if clause, we use past tense. I know that this is a bit strange
00:08:44
to see here, he and were, but we'll talk about it in a minute. If I had two
00:08:49
thousand... two hundred thousand dollars now, I would, by a car, pass simple in the
00:08:58
if clause, would followed by infinitive in the main clause. There you go. That's the
00:09:10
money and the car so what do we use a second conditional for i guess that you've had an idea
00:09:18
with examples that we saw in the previous slide then in anyways we use a second conditional
00:09:29
to speak about present and future situations which are not likely to happen or to speak about
00:09:36
hypothesis. If you remember when we were talking about the fast conditional, we
00:09:46
were referring to situations that were likely to happen. It was kind of
00:09:54
possible that if tomorrow is sunny we will go surfing. But if I had some money
00:10:02
I would lend it to you. That means that I don't have any money or I don't have
00:10:12
enough money it's not so likely but if I had it I would do that it's a hypothesis
00:10:16
or if I were a boy maybe I would understand I'm not a boy if I were it's
00:10:24
a hypothesis you hypothesize about what you would do if you had this money or if
00:10:32
you were a different person. Remember when in the previous slide I
00:10:42
taught you to think about or to bear in mind this were? So this is the reason. We
00:10:49
use were here with first person and with third person singular in an unusual way
00:10:58
because the typical form of the verb to be for the past for the first person
00:11:04
singular and the third person singular is was but in the conditional form in
00:11:13
the second conditional form were is used often instead of was in the first and
00:11:21
second second person condition is super common to hear that actually it's way more natural than
00:11:30
if i was a boy to finish today with conditionals i just wanted to refer to these other connectors
00:11:37
i don't know if you remember but when i started talking about conditionals at the beginning of
00:11:48
this presentation, I said that usually we use if in the conditional sentences, inconditional
00:11:56
sentences. I said usually because the truth is that there are other connectors. And this is one
00:12:03
of the most frequent ones that you're going to find, unless. Have a look at these two sentences
00:12:15
or compare these two sentences. If you don't phone John, he'll get very angry. Unless you phone John,
00:12:24
he'll get very angry. They mean more or less the same. So, we could say that unless means more or
00:12:34
less the same as if not. So, this part of the sentence is more or less the same as this one.
00:12:44
unless you phone John, he'll get very angry
00:12:57
if you don't phone John, he'll get very angry
00:12:59
that means that
00:13:02
you can use one option
00:13:04
or the other interchangeably
00:13:07
it depends on you, it depends on your style
00:13:09
on what you want to say
00:13:12
if you want to use unless or not
00:13:14
so, we're going to leave it here for today
00:13:18
as a presentation
00:13:22
now just go to the other part of the
00:13:24
to go to the aula virtual
00:13:28
to do practice
00:13:32
and you know that I will be available
00:13:35
