    This document provides notes on conditional sentences using "if" and "when" in English grammar. It explains that "if" is used for things that are uncertain, while "when" indicates things that will surely happen. After "if" or "when", the present simple tense is used to talk about the future. Conditional sentences can begin with "when" or "if" followed by a comma. An exercise is included asking the reader to make true conditional sentences about what they will do when finishing an exercise, getting up tomorrow, feeling ill, or if it rains this weekend.

    CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

    If and WHEN
    COMPARE:

    IF
    We use if for things we are not sure will happen.
    I will watch the news if I nish dinner before 9.00. (Perhaps I will nish dinner before 9.00 but Im not sure) I will visit the Big Ben if I go to London. (Perhaps I will go to London, perhaps I wont)

    WHEN
    We use when for things we are sure will happen.
    I will watch the news when I nish dinner. (Im sure I will nish dinner) I will visit the Big Ben when I go to London. (Im sure I will go to London)

    After If and when we use the present simple to talk about the future:
    Ill watch TV when I nish dinner She will have a shower when she gets up. Well take a taxi if we miss the bus. Ill stay at home if it rains.

    We can begin the sentence with when or if.


    When I nish dinner, Ill watch TV. If it rains, Ill stay at home

    Wo often use a comma when we begin with when or if.
