4. Conditional sentences.

8 listopada 2026

Zero conditional: Read

The 0 conditional is used to talk about facts, general truths, and situations that always happen under certain conditions. It describes things that are always true when the condition is met.

Structure:

If + present simple, present simple
Examples:
If you heat water to 100°C, it boils. (This is always true – a scientific fact.)
If you don’t water plants, they die. (A general truth about plants.)
If I eat too much sugar, I get a headache. (A personal fact that always happens.)

Key Points to Remember:

The 0 conditional talks about universal truths, facts, and scientific laws.
Both the if-clause and main clause are in the present simple tense.
You can replace “if” with “when” without changing the meaning.
Example: When the sun sets, it gets dark.

Choose the correct form.

First Conditional: Read

According to British Council’s website:

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.

Mixed Conditionals.

British Council again writes:

Mixed conditionals

We can use mixed conditionals when we imagine a past change with a result in the present or a present change with a result in the past.

1. Past/Present

Here’s a sentence imagining how a change in a past situation would have a result in the present.

If I hadn’t got the job in Tokyo, I wouldn’t be with my current partner.

So the structure is: If + past perfect >> would + infinitive.

2. Present/Past

Here’s a sentence imagining how a different situation in the present would mean that the past was different as well.

It’s really important. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have called you on your holiday.

And the structure is: If + past simple >> would have + past participle
