Conditional sentense

• What Are Conditional Sentences?

• Conditional sentences express a condition and
its possible result.
• They often use "if" to introduce the condition.
• Example: If it rains, we will stay home.
 Types of Conditionals
• Zero Conditional: General truths or facts.
• If you heat water, it boils.
• First Conditional: Real or likely future situations.
• If you study, you will pass the test.
• Second Conditional: Unreal present or unlikely situations.
• If I were rich, I would travel the world.
• Third Conditional: Unreal past (something that didn’t
happen).
• If you had studied, you would have passed the test.
• Mixed Conditional: Combines two different time frames.
1. If I had studied, I would be successful now.
 Zero Conditional

• Usage: For facts or habitual actions.
• Example:
• If you touch fire, it burns.
• First Conditional

• Inversion in Conditionals
• In formal writing, conditionals can omit "if" by inverting
the verb:
• Had I known, I would have acted differently.
• Were she here, she would agree.
• : Common Errors in Conditionals
• Mixing tenses incorrectly.
• Overusing "would" in the "if" clause (If I would go… is
incorrect).
• Forgetting subject-verb agreement.
• Practice Makes Perfect!
• Read, write, and practice questions with
varied conditionals.
• Think about time frames when forming
sentences.
