Learning Activity Sheet

Conditionals Appropriate in Given Situations

Background Information for Learners

Good Day! You have learned in the previous sessions about conditionals in context. This time, you will learn
about specific conditionals that are used appropriately in specific situations.

Learning Competency with Code:

EN9G-IIe-20: Use conditionals in expressing arguments

Let us Recall: What is a Conditional Sentence?

Conditional sentences are statements discussing known factors or hypothetical situations and their
consequences. Complete conditional sentences contain a conditional clause (often referred to as the if-clause)
and the consequence. 
The most common words to link two sentences expressing condition and its consequence is ‘if’.

What is a Conditional Conjunction?

Study the examples below:

Unless you really need me to, I can't take the time to reorganize your desk today.
Since I'll be out of town, I'm looking for someone to feed my cat.

The underlined words in the following examples also express conditions. These are examples of
Conditional Conjunctions. These are words that describe a condition. They are found in sentences where
one clause describes something that happened, will happen or if the condition of the other clause is satisfied.
Conditional conjunctions can be a single word like if or several words like as long as, even if, in case and
many others. When placed at the beginning of the clause, these conjunctions describe the condition that needs
to be met for something to happen.

Here are some examples of conditional conjunctions:

1. even if - emphasizes that something will/would happen or would have happened regardless of the
condition.
Examples: Not many more people will buy it even if we reduce its price.
Even if you take a taxi, you will still be late.

2. only if - emphasizes that a specific and strict condition must be fulfilled. In other words, the
consequence of the given condition should happen.
Example: More people will buy it only if we reduce its price.
Only if you promised to take care of the puppy, I will buy you it.

3. as long as, so long as, providing (that), provided (that), on condition (that) are synonyms for ‘only
if’. These conditionals are used in specific and strict conditions such as:
● Semi-formal and often used in speaking: ‘as long as’ and ‘provided (that)’
Examples:
More people will buy it as long as we reduce its price.
Provided (that) we reduce its price, more people will buy it.
 ● Formal and Suitable for Writing: ‘so long as’, ‘providing (that)’ and ‘on condition (that)’
Examples:
So long as its price is reduced, a greater number of people will purchase it.
A greater number of people would purchase it providing (that) its price were reduced.
A greater number of people would have purchased it on the condition (that) its price
had been reduced.

4. unless - It replaces ‘if not’; therefore, it is always followed by a positive verb.

Example:
No-one will buy it if we do not reduce its price.
No-one will buy it unless we reduce its price.
If you will not purchase tickets, you will not be able to attend the show.
Unless you purchase tickets, you will not be able to attend the show.
(Note: remove the word ‘not’ to make the verb in the conditional clause positive.)

5. in case (that)’, ‘in the event (that)

When the “if clause (condition)” expresses a possibility, you can use these conditionals
conjunctions instead.
● Informal context:: in case (that)
Example: I’ll catch a taxi in case (that) I miss the last bus.
In case of an emergency, use the fire exit.

● Formal content: in the event (that)

Example: In the event (that) train services are disrupted, buses will be provided for the affected
journeys.
In the event an emergency occurs, use the fire exit.

6. otherwise - is an expression similar to ‘or else’. It is both used in speaking and writing.
Example: We must reduce the price; otherwise, no-one will buy it.
