CONDITIONAL CLAUSES
![Page 2: Conditional Clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082915/54664755af7959c1628b47a5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Conditionalsalways have two
parts: the Main Clause
and the IF Clause
(When the If Clause goes first, it is followed by a comma, but you can also put the Main
Clause first without using a comma between the clauses.)

Conditional Conjunctions:
IF is the most common one.

The Main Clause can go in:- Present Tense
- Imperative- Present Modal Verb: can, may, must.
But usually in - FUTURE SIMPLE:
-If you want, I’ll help you-I ’ll be angry if you’re late again-If you’ve done your homework,
you can go out

UNLESS is the opposite of “If”:
If she doesn’t call soon, I’ll be angry =
Unless she calls soon, I’ll be angry.
He will be late if he doesn’t hurry up =
He will be late unless he hurries up

2nd Type Conditional
Often called the "unreal" conditional because it is used for unreal - impossible or improbable
- situations. This conditional provides an imaginary result for a
given situation.

The If Clause goes in
Simple Past Tense
The verb 'to be', when used in the 2nd conditional, is usually conjugated as 'were'.
The Main Clause goes in Conditional Tense:
Would(n’t) + infinitive (Could or Might are also possible but less common)
If I were you, I’d go to the doctor’s.If he studied more, he’d pass all his subjects.
They would buy a new house if they had more money.

3rd Type Conditional
Known as the "past" conditional because it refers only to past situations with hypothetical
results.
