What I Need to Know
Introduction
Personal motivation and positive disposition in gaining knowledge each day
are the most effective ways to learn English. Thus, studying English rules helps you
acquire whatever aspect of conversational English is most interesting or important
to you at the moment.
This module will allow you to learn how to talk about a result that may occur
if a condition happens. It also offers endless possibilities for creative and imaginative
expression. After which, it will help you talk about imaginary situations and make
possible suggestions.
More importantly, in the latter part of this module, you will be able to critically
situate and be constructive in (1) discussing possibilities in the past, present or
future events/situations, (2) making stand on an issue, and (3) using “if/when” in
an argumentative situation.
Learning Objectives:
After working on the activities in this module, you are expected to:

What’s In
Review
In your previous lesson, you have encountered the use of modals to express
permission, prohibition (not allowing something), and obligation or no obligation. You
were also taught of the different words to be used in each of the given situations.
Directions: Choose the correct modal to complete the sentence from the given
choices. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
1. You ___ come to the meeting but it would help us all if you’re there.
a. couldn’t
b. doesn’t
c. mustn't
d. don't have to
2. I can’t get a connection on my phone. ___ I borrow yours?
a. Do
b. Can
c. Does
d. Have to
3. The rules say that you ___ only invite one guest to the club.
a. can
b. might
c. has to
d. have to
4. I ___ stay on for a few hours because I’d rather work late today than
over the weekend.
a. do
b. must
c. has to
d. have to
5. There’s a lot of noise coming from outside. ___ I close the window?
a. do
b. must
c. could
d. Have to
Now, you have learned that modal is a type of auxiliary or helping verb that is
used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Thus, modal phrases
3
(or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a
combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to.
Well, I hope that the previous discussion has been useful for you and that you
have learned more information about modals. Note that your understanding on them
guides you to express ideas such as permission, advice and future possibilities in
identifying and constructing sentences on CONDITIONALS.
What’s New
Activity 1: If…Then what?
Let’s practice doing additional exercises that will prepare you to write your
own stand in a given issue. In order to do that, you must first read an excerpt from
the poem entitled “If” by Rudyard Kipling and answer the guide questions below.
If
by: Rudyard Kipling - 1865-1936
Taken from A Journey Through Anglo-American Literature
4
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Directions: Answer the following questions. Write your answer on a separate sheet
of paper.
1. What will happen if you can keep your emotions even when you are in
stressful situations?
2. What word is common in the poem?
What is It
Conditionals are sometimes called “if clauses”. They describe the result of
something that might happen (in the present or future) or might have happened but
didn’t (in the past). They are made using different English verb tenses.
The first conditional has the present simple after if, then the future simple
in the other clause:
It’s used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we
can’t know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which
could easily come true.
Examples:
(It’s about what will happen today, another day might be different.)
5
TYPE 2 – Present Unreal Conditional
The second conditional uses the simple past after if, then would and the
infinitive:
A. We use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to
be true.
Examples:
a. If I had enough money, I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and
a swimming pool.
(I’m probably not going to have much money, it’s just a dream, not
very real.)
Examples:
(I don’t have his number now, so it’s impossible for me to call him.)
b. If I were you, I wouldn’t go out with that man. (but I’m not you,)
We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after if, then would
have and the past participle in the second part of the sentence:
It talks about the past. It is used to describe a situation that didn’t happen,
and to imagine the result of this situation.
Examples:
(But, really we know she didn’t study and so she didn’t pass.)
b. If I had eaten so much, I wouldn’t have felt sick. (But I did eat a lot, and
so I did feel sick.)
6
ZERO TYPE CONDITIONAL – Present Real Conditional
We can make a zero-conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one
in the if clause and one in the main clause):
Example:
a. If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can’t be a
different result sometimes.

Generalization
8
We make the third conditional or the Past Unreal Conditional by using
the (9)_______________ after if, then (10)_______________ and the
_______________ in the second part of the sentence or Present Real Conditional.
For the fourth type of conditional which is called the zero-type conditional
sentence, we make it using two (11)_______________________ which is one in
the (12)_______________ and one in the (13)___________________.
It's important to use the correct structure of the different conditional
sentences because (14)_______________________________. Conditional
statements help us to (15) _____________________________________________.
