Hello, everybody!

How are you

feeling today?
Ok... So on a scale of
chihuahua
 How are
you feeling
today?
Today, we are going to
talk about...
 Let’s discuss!

• What do you do when you have to make a decision?

• Are you good at making decisions? Why or why not?

• Have you ever had to make a very difficult decision?

What was it?
GRAMMAR
Conditionals:
• Zero Conditional
• First Conditional
• Second conditional
Zero Conditional
When do we use the
“Zero conditional”?
We use “Zero conditional” to talk about things
that are true.
Examples:

1. If you freeze water, it becomes a solid.

2. If plants don’t get enough water, they die.

3. If my husband has a cold, I usually catch it.

4. If I’m tired, I go to sleep.

Note: to make the Zero conditional, both

verbs are in the simple present.
 Note: You can use “If” or “When”. They have the same
meaning.

Examples:
1. When I’m hungry, I eat.
2. If I’m hungry, I eat.

1. If I’m thirsty, I drink water.

2. When I’m thirsty, I drink water.
So let’s think... If verbs are in the
Simple Present when we use the
Zero Conditional, which auxiliar
verb(s) are we going to use to ask
questions?
DO/DOES
Examples:

1. Who do you usually ask for help if you have a problem?

2. If you’re alone in your house, do you get scared?

3. When you’re in trouble, who do you call?

4. What do you like do to when you travel?

Any questions?
GRAMMAR
First Conditional
When do we use the
“First conditional”?
We use the “First conditional” to talk
about the result of a future possible
event.
Examples:

1. If you call me, I’ll be very happy!

2. I won’t go to the party if Diana is there.

3. I won’t cry if you leave me.

4. If you pass the exam, I’ll buy you a present.

Note: to make the First conditional, we use If + simple present,

will/won’t + infinitive.
What do we do if we want
to ask questions using the
“First Conditional”?
WILL
 Examples:

1. Where will you go if you buy an airplane?

2. If you need help, who will you call?

3. What will you do if you have free time on Saturday?

4. If it rains tomorrow, what will you do?

Any questions?
GRAMMAR
Second Conditional
We use the “Second conditional” to
talk about unlikely or imaginary
situations.
 Examples: Can I go to the
gym??

1. If I could go to the gym, I would be healthier.

2. If I was/were rich, I would buy a Ferrari.

3. If I had a driver's license, I would travel everywhere by car.

4. I would study more if I had more time.

Do I have more
time??
Note: to make the Second conditional, we use If + simple past,
would/wouldn’t + infinitive.
What do we use if we want
to ask questions using the
“Second Conditional”?
WOULD
Examples:
1. What would you do if you won $1 million euro?

2. If you could choose any country in the world to live, where

would you live?

3. What would you do if you lost your job?

4. If you lost your wallet, what would you do?

The difference between the first and second conditional
depends on how the speaker sees the situation:

1. If I win the game, I’ll call you. (It’s possible)

2. If I won € 1 million, I’d buy a plane. (I don’t think

it’s possible)
Any questions?
For all conditionals...

The If clause can come either first or second.

• If I knew the answer, I’d tell you.

• I’d tell you, if I knew the answer.

We use a after the if clause when it comes first.

• I will travel to Paris if I win the lottery.

• If I win the lottey, I will travel to Paris.
