Conditionals

Goal:

- I know the difference between the zero, first and second conditionals

- I know how to make zero, first and second conditionals

Zero Conditional

Facts and what is generally true

If you stand in the rain, you get wet. (This is generally true)

If you heat ice, it melts. (This is a fact)

If + Present Simple, Present Simple

First conditional

A possible situation in the future

• If it rains, we will cancel the trip. (likely result in the future if it rains)
• If you study, you will pass the exam.
  

(I predict that this will happen in the future if you study)

If + present simple, will + infinitive 

Second Conditional

This is used for hypothetical or unlikely situations.

 (het gaat om onwerkelijke situaties en het waarschijnlijke resultaat daarvan)

• If I won the lottery, I would travel a lot. (unlikely)
• If they sold their house, they would be rich. (unlikely)

If + Past Simple, would + infinitive

 First & Second Conditional

Het verschil tussen de First & Second conditional zit in de waarschijnlijkheid.

Bij de first conditional is het mogelijk dat het gebeurd, bij de second conditional is de kans erg klein dat het ooit gaat gebeuren.

Third Conditional

Hierbij gaat het om onwaarschijnlijke/ niet gebeurde dingen.

Maak je met:

If + Past Perfect, would have + volt. dw
