Conditional sentences


Zero Conditional describes what happens in general.

For example : If you sit in the sun for a long time, you get burned (here I'm talking about every time a person sits in the sun - the burning is a natural consequence of the sitting)



Activity ONE Complete the zero conditional sentences with the verb in brackets. Use contractions where possible. Link 


First Conditional describes things  that I think are likely to happen in the future. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. It is used for real possibility

For example : If she studies harder, she'll pass the exam (the teacher thinks it is possible she will study harder and so she'll pass)

Activity TWO Put the correct form of each verb in brackets into the box. LINK

Second Conditional talks about things that I don't think will really happen. It's subjective; it depends on my point of view. 

For example : If she studied harder, she would pass the exam ( the teacher  thinks that she won't study harder, or it's very unlikely, and so she won't pass) 

Activity THREE  Choose the correct option for these 2nd Conditional sentences. LINK

Activity FOUR Decide if the sentences are 1st or 2nd conditional ones LINK 

Activity FIVE: Time for music! Put on your headphones, listen to the song below and take notes of the conditional sentences that appear in the video. Be ready to say if they are first or second conditional sentences.
