What is something you tend to procrastinate? 

Let's check your homework!

Grammar: condintionals

Grab a notebook, please. 

If & when 

If -> Something could possibly happen (but is unsure) 

If I win the lottery I will buy a car. 

When -> Something is definitely going to happen 

When I get home I am going to take a nap. 

Conditionals 

You use conditionals to describe facts, likely situations, and unlikely situations. 

There is always an if-clause and a main clause. 

The if-clause describes a condition. The main clause states the result of that condition.

Examples 

If I win the lottery , I will buy a new car

When I get married , I plan to change my name 

if clause

main clause

if clause

main clause

Zero conditional 

The result is a fact 

Both clauses get the present simple tense

If the light turns green, the oven is done pre-heating. 

Plastic melts, when you apply heat. 

First conditional 

If the result is a prediction or something that is probably going to happen, you use will + infinitive in the main clause. You still use the present simple in the if-clause.

When I get home, I will take a nap. 

If I ever go back to Switzerland, I will not go camping. 

Second conditional

If the result is made up or not real (yet), you use would + infinitive in the main clause. This time you use the past simple in the if-clause. This is called the second conditional.

If he asked, I would say yes. 

If we lost our plane, we would arrive late. 

Conditional	Tense	When to use
Zero	Present simple	Fact
First	Present simple -> if clause Will + verb -> main clause	Prediction
Second	Past simple -> if clause Would + infinitive -> main clause	Made up / not real
