Prayer.
Good morning, Class.
Do you still remember what was our last lesson all about?
Very good. Can you give me an example of a modal?
That is great! Now we have another lesson to discuss. Today you will learn
about using conditionals in expressing arguments and at the end of the
topic you will be able to distinguish the types of conditionals, use correct
verb forms in constructing conditional sentences and express arguments on
social and environmental issues using conditionals.
So, before we start our lesson today, let us first answer this. Reads the
direction. Oral participation. 10minutes.
Thank you for participating class. Later on, you will understand more about
why we ended up with these sets of answers.
So, For today’s lesson. I am going to discuss about Conditionals or
Conditional Sentences. Now class, what is a conditionals or conditional
sentence? -Can someone please read this. Let a student read the
definition.
Conditionals commonly use if-clause to point a particular condition or
situation in the future that has a real possibility of happening or unreal
conditions, and the main clause is to point out the result of this condition.
Always remember class that the if-clause states the condition, and the main
clause states the result.
Some of you may not be aware of what Condition is,
Condition refers to something that you must do, or a situation that must
exist, in order for something to happen which is the result or what we call
the main clause.
Let us take a look at these examples in the table below.
1. Read. Its true right. And that is our if-clause (the condition) and the result
of that condition is out main clause.
2. Another example. Read. It is divided into two parts. The first half which is
the if clause, if leaders are good, is our condition. This is the situation that
needs to be met in order for the result to happen. And the other half is the
nation will flourish is the result of the condition.
3.Another example. Probably he didn’t wear a mask, so it is impossible that
hell be protected from the virus. The if-clause, then the main clause.
4. Read. Because of the word if it becomes an if-clause which cannot stand
alone as what I said earlier an if-clause shows the condition while the main
clause shows the result.
Is it clear class?
Class take note that the if-clause may be found the beginning or at the end
of the sentence. Furthermore, if the main clause appears before the
condition, the meaning of the sentence remains the same. Read examples.
Even when reversed the meaning stays the same. Understood?
Read examples.
When if-clause is in the beginning of a sentence, there is a comma that
separated them but if the if-clause is found at the end of a sentence no
comma separates them.
Moving on class. Conditionals have two kinds: these are the Real and
Unreal/Untrue. Additionally, these conditions are categorized into four,
which is the Zero Conditional, First Conditional, Second Conditional, and
Third Conditional. Zero and first conditionals are categorized as REAL or
very likely to happen while second and third conditionals are UNREAL or
imaginary. We will differentiate the difference among them.
So, what is Real and Unreal Conditionals? Can somebody please read the
definition?
Real conditionals express true situations that are factual and very likely to
happen, while Unreal conditionals convey untrue situations, imaginary present,
past or future, and they have no probability to happen.
Basically, Real Conditional describes real-life situations and Unreal Conditional
describes a condition that is not real or an imaginary situation.
Let us study the sentences below. Read the Real examples.
1. Obviously, this is true. The if-clause is at the end of the sentence. It is an
example of a scientific fact. A Zero Conditional.
2. It is very likely to happen in the future. an example of first conditional.
Unreal Examples.
1. Basically, being a millionaire is already an imaginary situation, so it is
impossible to sponsor the covid vaccine in the future. Is an example of
second conditional.
2. Hypothetical. likely assumed it is only their opinion
And now class this time we are going to talk about the four conditionals the
Zero C, First C, Second C, and Third C.
Let’s start with the Zero Conditional – Let the student read the definition
on the module.
It talks about result or things that are always true like a scientific fact.
In zero conditional class we use the form [ if + present tense of a verb,] +
[ present tense of a verb ] Both the main and if-clause use the present
tense of the verb. It is very important to memorize this form that represents
zero conditional.
For Example, class:
If you cross an international dateline, the time changes. (That really
happens right class) You can notice here that the word cross and changes
is in present tense of a verb. It follows the form of zero conditional.
Another example is, if babies are hungry, they cry. Even before a child can
talk, he or she will show signs of hunger or fullness by using sounds and
movements. Crying is often a late sign of hunger. (It is a general truth.)
Next example: You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen. (It is a
scientific fact)
Another Example: If you place it in the fridge, the water freezes (It is true
right class?)
We must take note that the verb in the if-clause should be in present tense.
And the verb in the main clause is in present tense too. And this is all in
zero conditional because it is all true and a fact.
NOTICE!!!
Next is the First Conditional - Let the student read the definition on the
module.
It talks about the possibilities in the present and in the future. First conditional is
used to express the future consequence of a realistic possibility now or in the
future.
This is how we write sentences in First Conditional - [ if + present tense of a
verb,] + [ will + base form of a verb ]
For example:
She will miss the bus if she does not leave soon. (The condition if she
does not leave soon, there is a possibility that she will miss the bus) Did
you get it?
Another example: If we follow proper waste segregation, our lands and
waters will be less polluted. (The condition that if we follow proper
segregation most likely the result is our lands and waters will be less
polluted) Which is true and might really happen class. Right? You can see
the form of a first conditional in the sentence.
Another example: If we care for our environment, it will grow in
abundance. (Abundance means kasaganaan) Because if we take care of
nature, then nature will also take care of us in return.
Another example: If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we'll go to the beach. So, if it
doesn’t rain there is a possibility that we will go to the beach tomorrow.
These sentences talk about present or future situations that express results
that are possible to happen. You can easily identify if it is a first conditional,
just by looking at he form of the sentence.
Let’s keep moving, Second Conditional – A student will read the definition.
These are things that are impossible in the present and are unlikely to occur
in the future (unlike first conditional it’s possible)
In short these are Imaginary situations in the present and future.
To help you understand it better lets talk about how we use it in sentences:
[ if + simple past tense of a verb,] + [would + base form of a verb]
For instance: If I won the lottery, I would buy my own island. ( Since the
speaker hasn’t won the lottery yet, so it becomes an imaginary situation)
Therefore it is a Second Conditional sentence.
Next example: What would you do if you became the president? ( It is
impossible since at the moment he/she is not the president) The if-clause is
already an imaginary so the main clause will be impossible. That’s why it is
an example of Second Conditional or Imaginary situations.
Another example: She would travel all over the world if she were rich. (It
would have been true if she were only rich, so it is impossible)
Additional example: I would buy a new phone if I received a lot of money.
(In this case I am only imagining that I have a lot of money and if I had a lot
of money, I would buy a new phone.) That’s why we use would buy for the
main clause and received for the if-clause. Because we need to use the
simple past tense. Unlike in first conditional the main clauses there has
possibilities while in second conditional it is impossible or imaginary to
happen.
Read notes below modules. Understood class?
And for the last one class. Is the Third Conditional. – A student will read
the definition.
It involves things or change in past scenario giving way to different results
or these are imaginary situations in the past. Now let’s see how we write it
in a sentence.
[if + past perfect tense of a verb,] + [would + have + past participle form of a
verb]
So here are the examples: If I had known my relatives were coming, I
would have prepared a delicious meal. (What the sentence means that the
speaker didn’t know that his/her relatives is coming. However, if he or she
was aware that they were coming he/she would have prepared their meal.)
But he/she didn’t prepare anything so it is an imaginary because it did not
happen in the past.
Another example: If the suspect hadn’t lied to the victim before, she would
have believed him. (This only means that the suspect already lied, so the
victim does not believe him/her anymore) So our sentence here is a past
unreal situation.
Another example: She wouldn’t have been tired if she had gone to bed
earlier. (The main clause is She is tired because she did not go to bed early
which is the if-clause) She is trying to imagine that she is not tired if only
she had gone early to bed.
Another example: If we had played a little better, we could have won the
game. (So the regret here: We didn't play well, so we lost the game.)
The third conditional is used to talk about things which did not happen in the
past.
Did you understand our topic class? Very good. Are there any questions?
Now we are done with the four conditionals.
Let us have our Pre activity.
Generalization:
Take note class, Conditionals or Conditional Sentences express a Real or an
Unreal Condition and they are categorized into four which is the zero conditional
that talks about result or things that are always true like a scientific fact. And the
first conditional that is all about the possibilities in the present and in the future.
And the second conditional which talks about things that are impossible or
something unrealistic in the present and are unlikely to occur in the future. And
lastly the third conditional. The third conditional is very similar to the second
conditional. But while the second conditional refers to something unrealistic now
or in the future, the third conditional refers to something unrealistic in the past.
Conditional sentences consist of two parts the if-clause and the main clause.
Zero Conditional: The situation is always true if something happens.
Real Conditional: The situation or event would be true in the future if
something happens.
Unreal Conditional – Conditional Two: The situation would be true if
something or the other happened in the present.
Unreal Condition Or Conditional Three: It refers to the situation that would
have been true in the past if some specific situation would have happened.
