If clause condition Main clause result If + past perfect perfect conditional or perfect continuous conditional If this thing had happened that thing would have happened. As in all conditional sentences, the order of the clauses is not fixed. You may have to rearrange the pronouns and adjust punctuation when you change the order of the clauses, but the meaning is identical. EXAMPLES If it had rained, you would have gotten wet. You would have gotten wet if it had rained. You would have passed your exam if you had worked harder. If you had worked harder, you would have passed your exam. I would have believed you if you hadn't lied to me before. If you hadn't lied to me before, I would have believed you. FUNCTION The type 3 conditional refers to an impossible condition in the past and its probable result in the past. These sentences are truly hypothetical and unreal, because it is now too late for the condition or its result to exist. There is always some implication of regret with type 3 conditional sentences. The reality is the opposite of, or contrary to, what the sentence expresses. In type 3 conditional sentences, the time is the past and the situation is hypothetical. EXAMPLES If I had worked harder I would have passed the exam. But I didn't work hard, and I didn't pass the exam. If I had known you were coming I would have baked a cake. But I didn't know and I didn't bake a cake. I would have been happy if you had called me on my birthday. But you didn't call me and I am not happy. In type 3 conditional sentences, you can also use modals in the main clause instead of "would" to express the degree of certainty, permission, or a recommendation about the outcome. EXAMPLES If I had worked harder I might have passed the exam. You could have been on time if you had caught the bus. If he called you, you could go. If you bought my school supplies for me, I might be able to go to the park. CONTRACTIONS Both would and had can be contracted to 'd, which can be confusing if you are not confident with type 3 conditional sentences. Remember 2 rules 1. would never appears in the if-clause so if 'd appears in the if clause, it must be abbreviating had. 2. had never appears before have so if 'd appears on a pronoun just before have, it must be abbreviating would. EXAMPLES If I'd known you were in hospital, I'd have visited you. If I had known you were in hospital, I would have visited you. I'd have bought you a present if I'd known it was your birthday. I would have bought you a present if I had known it was your birthday. If you'd given me your e-mail, I'd have written to you. If you had given me your e-mail, I would have written to you. THE PERFECT CONDITIONAL TENSE The perfect conditional of any verb is composed of three elements would + have + past participle Have followed by the past participle is used in other constructions as well. it is called the "perfect infinitive". Subject + would + have + past participle He would have gone They would have stayed TO GO PERFECT CONDITIONAL Affirmative Negative Interrogative Interrogative Negative I would have gone I wouldn't have gone Would I have gone? Wouldn't I have gone? You would have gone You wouldn't have gone Would you have gone? Wouldn't you have gone? He would have gone He wouldn't have gone Would he have gone? Wouldn't he have gone? She would have gone She wouldn't have gone Would she have gone? Wouldn't she have gone? We would have gone We wouldn't have gone Would we have gone? Wouldn't we have gone? They would have gone They wouldn't have gone Would they have gone? Wouldn't they have gone?

Zero conditional We use the zero conditional to talk about things that are generally true, especially for laws and rules. If I drink too much coffee, I can't sleep at night. Ice melts if you heat it. When the sun goes down, it gets dark. The structure is if/when + present simple >> present simple. First conditional We use the first conditional when we talk about future situations we believe are real or possible. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we'll go to the beach. Arsenal will be top of the league if they win. When I finish work, I'll call you. In first conditional sentences, the structure is usually if/when + present simple >> will + infinitive. It is also common to use this structure with unless, as long as, as soon as or in case instead of if. I'll leave as soon as the babysitter arrives. I don't want to stay in London unless I get a well-paid job. I'll give you a key in case I'm not at home. You can go to the party, as long as you're back by midnight. Second conditional The second conditional is used to imagine present or future situations that are impossible or unlikely in reality. If we had a garden, we could have a cat. If I won a lot of money, I'd buy a big house in the country. I wouldn't worry if I were you. The structure is usually if + past simple >> + would + infinitive. When if is followed by the verb be, it is grammatically correct to say if I were, if he were, if she were and if it were. However, it is also common to hear these structures with was, especially in the he/she form. If I were you, I wouldn't mention it. If she was prime minister, she would invest more money in schools. He would travel more if he was younger. Do this exercise to test your grammar again. Grammar test 2 Conditionals 1 Grammar test 2 Language level Do you need to improve your English grammar?

There are 5 types of conditional sentences, and you need to be able to use and identify all of them. As a rule, conditional sentences in English consist of two parts – the main part and the if part or the conditional part. These types of sentences are used to express possible or imaginary situations. The order of these two parts of the sentence isn’t important. When written, if the if part of the sentence comes first, a comma should be used to separate it from the second part.

I think it’s the simplest type of conditional sentence in English. The structure of Type Zero conditional sentences Main part Present Simple; if part Present Simple Examples Water boils if you heat it to 100 degrees Celsius. A red light comes on if you press the main button. In Type Zero sentences, if can be replaced by when. Examples When you heat ice, it melts. It gets dark when the sun goes down. Type One Conditional Sentences open condition This type of sentence expresses real and possible situations in the future; it is possible for the condition to be met. The structure of Type One conditional sentences Main part will + infinitive; if part Present Simple Examples We will stay at home if it snows. She will get angry if Im late for the party. If we get the money for this job, we will buy a new car. Will you help Amanda if she asks you? Type Two Conditional Sentences half-open condition This type of conditional sentence describes an unreal situation with regard to the present or future; a hypothetical condition that can only be fulfilled in theory. The structure of Type Two conditional sentences Main part would + infinitive; if part Past Simple In conditional sentences, the past tense form of the verb to be is were for all persons; was is also used, although only in spoken or conversational English. Examples We would stay at home if it snowed. I would buy a new board if I had more money. If he were rich, hed buy an island. If you left now, youd catch the last bus. Type two conditional sentences are also used when making polite requests. Examples I would be grateful if you helped me. He would be so pleased if you came to the birthday party. The phrases If I were you or If I were in your place are usually used to give advice. Examples If I were you I would accept the offer. If he were in your place he would do it. Type Three Conditional Sentences closed condition Type three conditional sentences are used to express situations that cannot exist, such as actions or events that happened in the past. They are often used to indicate a missed opportunity. The structure of Type Three conditional sentences Main part would + perfect infinite; if part Past Perfect Examples If you hadn’t been late for work, the boss wouldn’t have gotten furious. They would have finished earlier if the meeting hadn’t been held so late. If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a house by the sea. Would you have helped me if I had asked you? Mixed Conditionals This type of conditional sentence uses mixes different parts of the above-mentioned conditional sentence types. There are a few combinations the condition emphasizes the result of the action in the present in the past tense, or the present-day condition emphasizes the result of the action in the past. Examples If you had taught me how to make waffles in the past, I wouldn’t have to buy them in a shop now. I would buy a house by the sea now or in the future if I had won the lottery last week. Their team would have scored more in the match yesterday if they were good players. Important Grammatical Notes If the modal verbs can/could, may/might or should are used in the main part of the sentence, they take the place of will We can go to the seaside if you have time tomorrow. If you leave now, you may catch the last bus. If you want to pass the exam, you should study much harder. The words will and would are not usually used in the if part, except when they express willingness, for example, in requests that is, when they carry a modal meaning If you will phone the manager now, he will surely make an appointment with you. willingness I would be very thankful if you would help me with my homework. very polite request The word should in the if part can mean “if perhaps” or “by any chance.” I would be very happy if he should turn up at the party. He’s not at all likely to come, but perhaps… In negative sentences, if…not can be substituted with unless. You won’t pass the exam unless you study very hard. = if you don’t study very hard If can be omitted from the sentence if the word order is changed. This is sometimes done in Type Three conditional sentences if the, if part is at the beginning of the sentence, or in Type Two sentences if the verb were, is used Were I rich, I would buy a house by the sea. = if I were rich Had your cousin come earlier, I would have shown her around the house. = if she had come earlier I hope that my explanation of conditional sentences in English was clear and understandable. If not, let me know!
