3 Types of Conditional Statements

1. Open Conditional Statement- refers to a future event which is conditional on
another future event
Ex. If you eat too much, you’ll get fatter.

2. Open hypothetical Conditional Statement- refers to a possible future

situation which depends on another possible future situation.
Ex. If you ate too much, you would get fatter.

3. Unfulfilled hypotheses- refers to a situation which an event might have

taken place, but did not, because a condition was not fulfilled.
Ex. If you had eaten too much, you would have got fatter.

Uses of the Conditional

1. First conditional
a. Nature: Open condition, what is said in the condition is possible.
b. Time: This condition refers either to present or to future time.
e.g. If he is late, we will have to go without him.
If my mother knows about this, we are in serious trouble.

2. Second conditional
a. Nature: unreal (impossible) or improbable situations.
b. Time: present; the TENSE is past, but we are talking about the present, now.
e.g. If I knew her name, I would tell you.
If I were you, I would tell my father.
Compare: If I become president, I will change the social security system. (Said by
 a presidential candidate)
If I became president, I would change the social security system. (Said by a
schoolboy: improbable)
If we win this match, we are qualified for the semifinals.
If I won a million pounds, I would stop teaching. (improbable)

3. Third conditional
a. Nature: unreal
b. Time: Past (so we are talking about a situation that was not so in the past.)

(But you didn't, and I have).
