Conditionals are the "what-if" of the English language. They help us talk about possibilities, consequences, and rules of nature. Whether you’re planning what to do if it rains or talking about scientific facts, conditionals allow you to connect actions with their results.
In this module, you’ll master the structure of the Zero and First Conditionals. You’ll learn how to connect an "if" clause with a result in the present or future. Practice with 25 exercises that cover daily situations and cause-and-effect.
| Type | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Zero | Facts / Truths | If you heat ice, it melts. |
| First | Future Probability | If it rains, I will stay home. |
The "If" Rule
Remember: don't use "will" in the "if" part! Even if you're talking about the future, the action after "if" stays in the present simple. Let the second part of the sentence handle the "will".
Tricky Cases
Watch out for common mistakes when using Conditionals. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and how different contexts can change the correct form. Some patterns might seem similar but have important differences.
Remember that context matters. The same sentence structure might work differently depending on whether you're talking about the past, present, or future, or whether you're making a statement or asking a question.
