Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the English 9 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Using Conditionals
in Expressing Arguments.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from public
institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set
by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in
schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent learning
activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help learners acquire the
needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that will
help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also need
to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own learning.
Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included
in the module.

For the Learner:

Welcome to the English 9 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Using Conditionals
in Expressing Arguments.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided and
independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process the contents of
the learning resource while being an active learner.

What I Need to Know

.
English can get a little nutty, this module will assist you to practice your grammar
better on your own pace. Answers are written at the back of this module. Inculcate to the
learners the value of honesty while answering this module. You will be given activities
that you can answer on your own after reading and going through the different parts of
this module. Please remember not to make markings on this module and write your
answers on your notebook.

Since we are catering 21st Century Learners, learning is largely digital these days,
but the fact remains that good communication is one of the key elements to success in
any platform. Whenever you use the written word to do your assignments–from a simple
memo or email, to widely circulated social media posts and website content–never
underestimate the importance of good grammar.

Here are the four simple, effective ways to a good grammar that would help boost
each learner’s confidence and make their skills stand out from the rest.
.
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. recognize the use of the word if in conditional sentences;
2. identify the distinguishing functions of type 1 conditionals; and
3. use the correct form of the verb in type 1 conditional sentences.

 Lesson
Using Conditionals in Expressing
2 Arguments

For some learners, conditionals can be a bit confusing. Most native speakers
don’t even realize what a conditional sentence is when they use one. So, what do you
need to know? A few tips and a practice and you’ll be good to go.
*https://proofreadingpros.io/learn-conditionals-if-you-want-to-learn-english/

What’s In

Color the heart if you experience the same scenario below. Do this in your answer
sheet.

1. If I am late in class, my teacher gets angry.

2. If I study hard then I get good grades in school.
3. If I miss the jeepney then I take a tricycle ride to school.
4. I can’t do my homework, if I don’t have my glasses.
5. I get hungry, when I don’t eat my snacks.

Notes to the Teacher

The teacher must consider the prerequisite skills needed in the
development of this competency including the schema or background
knowledge which may reinforce learning. This module will help the
learners bridge the gap of learning to attain mastery of the lesson in its
spiral progression.
 What’s New

Confused with conditionals?

Photo grabbed from https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=exercise-1_76w3

Conditionals depend on how REAL or POSSIBLE the situation is in the eyes of

the speaker.

This lesson will give you an overview on using conditionals in an argument.

What is It

To begin, examine these conditional sentences and their functions. What do the
sentences have in common?

*If water reaches 212° Fahrenheit (100° Celsius), it boils. (fact)

*If I were you, I wouldn’t waste money buying junk food. (giving advice)
*She will pass the class if she studies and does her homework. (talking about
the future)
*You would have caught the bus if you had woken up 15 minutes earlier.
(analyzing the past)
*If Maria were president, she would pass more laws to protect the environment.
(talking about a hypothetical situation)

Although these sentences perform different functions, they share a common

feature: all conditionals include a cause and effect relationship. The “cause” part
of each sentence describes a condition or situation. This part of a conditional is called
the “condition clause,” and usually begins with the word “if” (or an equivalent phrase
like as long as or in the event that). The “effect” part of a conditional is called the “result
clause,” which explains an outcome that is dependent on the condition described in the
other part of the sentence.
 If you mix red paint and blue paint together, you get purple paint.

condition clause (cause) + result clause (effect)

As you saw in the sentence list above, the condition clause and the result clause
can be placed in any order. For example, look at Sentences A and B below. Do they
have the same meaning?

A: She will pass the class if she studies and does her homework.

B: If she studies and does her homework, she will pass the class.

Notice that if the condition clause comes first, it is followed by a comma

(Sentence B). A comma is not needed when the result clause is first in a
conditional sentence (Sentence A)

Furthermore, a conditional statement is, in its most easily recognized form, an

“if…then…” statement. Take a look at the following sentence:

(1) If you study then you'll pass

(1) clearly says that studying is sufficient for passing. It's not so clear that it says passing
is necessary for studying and, in fact, it sounds peculiar because passing is something
that happens after you study and it seems odd to suggest that the occurrence of a later
event is necessary for the occurrence of an earlier event. How can it be that my ability to
study now depends upon something happening in the future.

(2) If you didn't pass then you couldn't have studied.

When one thing is necessary for another thing that means that if you haven't got the first
then you haven't got the second. Water, for example, is necessary for plant life: no water,
no plants. Similarly, (2) says no pass conclusively shows no study, hence that passing is
necessary for studying. In general, for any sentence of the form,

Conditionals, Arguments and Inferences

Like arguments, conditionals may express inferences. Nevertheless, a conditional

by itself is not an argument. The difference is that when you put forth an argument you
commit yourself to the truth of all its parts--even if "only for the sake of the argument."
When you assert a conditional, however, you do not commit yourself to the truth of either
its antecedent or its consequent. Indeed, the whole conditional can be true even if both
its parts are false. Look at the following conditional and argument:
 (3) If you study then you'll pass. If you pass, then you'll graduate. Therefore,
if you study you'll graduate.

In general, Conditionals are extremely important in the English language because

they help us express things that may happen in the present and future. Conditionals serve
many purposes and take several different forms. They can be used to give advice,
express regret and discuss facts, among other things.

Moreover, there are three basic types of conditional sentences, and they are
named type 1, type 2, and type 3. But for the meantime, let’s focus first on the type 1. The
other types will be discussed on the next quarter.

A type 1 conditional is a possible situation which could happen.

We use type 1 conditionals to express realistic situations, plans and things that are
very likely to happen if we do something. Unlike the previous examples, a type 1
conditional uses will instead of would. Usually this conditional uses present tense verbs
in both clauses too.

If I eat all the chocolate, I will feel sick tomorrow.

In that example, I’m imagining a situation that will certainly happen. I will definitely
feel sick tomorrow if I eat all that chocolate. Maybe I shouldn’t eat that chocolate, then.

If I study hard, I will pass the exam.

Hard work pays off. Passing an exam is the likely result of studying hard.
