First, Second and Third Conditional´s Alejandro Jose Rodriguez Juan Carlos Diezmigueltorena Francisco Daniel Aceves Ojeda Alejandro Grimaldi Ferreira

First Conditional The First conditional is a structure used for talking about possibilities in the present or in the future. It´s structure is:IF clause: IF + subject + simple present tense. Main Clause: Subject + Verb The first conditional sentence consist of two clauses, one that is the “If” clause and the main clause. Ex: If you study hard, you will pass the test. Note: Notice that this sentence states a possibility either in the past or the future, as it do not say when in time the action is going to take place, the person might do it right now or in a week, as an example

First Conditional If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma: You will pass the exam if you will past your test. The main objective of the first conditional is to talk about that are very probable or occurring in the past or in the future, it is more easily to express with the phrase “It might happen” If it is sunny from here to 3 o´clock, I will take to the park. In the sentence say that if the sun is shinning from the time the person state this condition until it is 3 o´clock, he will take someone to the park, but it might rain or be clouded, but is very probable that the sun maybe shinning.

Second Conditional The 2nd conditional it is used is used to express unreal situations in the past or in the present. Normally it is called a wish, something that is impossible or nearly impossible to happen. The structure of each of the clauses is as follows if clause: if + subject + simple past verb main clause: subject + would + verb This conditional, as the first one is formatted by a main clause, and the clause If. If I won the lottery, I will buy a new house. Or… I will buy a new house if I won the lottery Note: Do not use Would or Wouldn´t in the If clause as it will not make any sense and it will be a confusion in the tense

Second Conditional Still you can use Would and Wouldn´t in the main clause If I were you, I wouldn't do that. = I wouldn't do that if I were you. (I am not you - therefore the condition is unreal). If I had more time, I would do more on my websites. = I would do more on my websites if I had more time. (I don't have more time - therefore the condition is unreal).

Third Conditional • The third conditional is used to express conditions in the past that did not happen. Often used to express criticism or regret with would have, could have or should have. • It´s structure is as follows • IF clause: If + subject + perfect past tense. • Main clause: Subject + Should, Would or Could have + verb. • If I had study for my test, I (would, could, should) have passed. • I (would, could, should) have passed If I had study for my test.

Third Conditional Never use would have, or wouldn't have etc in the if clause. For example: If I hadn't helped you, you would have failed. = You would have failed, if I hadn't helped you. (I helped you so you didn't fail). If it had been sunny, we could have gone out. = We could have gone out, if it had been. (We didn't go out because it wasn't sunny).

Conditional 0 Thought it is known by very few persons, there exist a Conditional 0, this conditional is used to express a fact or truth of life, normally proved by the Science. It´s structure is as follow: IF clause: If + Subject + simple present tense. Main Clause: Subject + Verb. If you throw a rock though a window, the rock will fall. The rock will fall if you throw it though a window.
