First Conditional
Th

We use the first conditional to talk about the result of a possible event or situation in the future.

The if clause talks about things that are possible, but not certain.
If I'm late again, I’ll lose my job (maybe I’ll be late again). The main clause says that we think the result will
be in this situation. (I’m sure I’ll lose my job).

if clause main clause

 (if + present simple) (will/won’t + infinitive)
If I am late again, I will lose my job.
If we don’t get there by five, We’ll miss the plane.

te
Tips:

The if clause can be first or second in the sentence, when we start with the if clause we use a comma (,) after this
clause. When we start with the main clause, we don’t use a comma: You’ll be OK if you get a taxi.

titu
We don’t usually use will/won’t in the if clause: If I’ll be late again, I’ll lose my job.

Future time clauses with when, as soon as, before, after, until

Ins
We can use sentences with when, as soon as, before, after and until to talk about the future:
I’ll pack before I go to bed.

After these words we use the Present Simple:

I’ll call Frank when l get home NOT I’ll call Frank when I’ll get home.

In the main clause we use will/won’t + infinitive:

ge
As soon as I finish this report, I’ll go to the bank.

We use when to say we are certain something will happen.

We use if to say something is possible, but it isn’t certain.

ua
We use as soon as to say something will happen immediately after something else.

We use until to say something stops happening at this time.

ng
As in first conditional sentences, the future time clause with when, as soon as, etc. can come first or second in the
sentence:
• After I talk to him, I’ll phone the hotel = I’ll phone the hotel after I talk to him.
La

Second Conditional
We use the second conditional to talk about imaginary situations:
er

If I lost my laptop, I'd probably lose my job! (I don't think this will ever happen to me.)
The second conditional talks about the present or future.
We often use the second conditional to talk about the opposite of what is true or real: If we didn't have Wi-Fi, this
igh

place would be empty. (But we have Wi-Fi, so this is an imaginary situation.)

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE

If I lost my laptop, I'd probably lose my job!

A. lost B. lose C. loses D. is losing
eH

If the internet didn't exist, I wouldn't have a business.

A. have B. wouldn’t have C. would D. had

Compare these sentences:

A. If I have enough money, I'll buy a new laptop.
This is a real possibility (the person might buy a new laptop).
Th

B. If I had enough money, I'd buy a new laptop.

This is an imaginary situation (the person can't buy a new laptop).

Tips:

The if clause can be first or second in the sentence:

We'd lose a lot of customers if our website crashed.
If our website crashed, we'd lose a lot of customers.
We can say If I/he/she/it was ... or If I/he/she/it were ... inthe second conditional:
If I was/were rich, I'd buy a big house.
We can use might + infinitive in the main clause of the second conditional to mean 'would perhaps': If they turned off
their computers, they might make some new friends. We can use could + infinitive in the main clause of the second
conditional to mean 'would be able to': If we didn't have online meetings, I could travel a bit more.

te
titu
QUESTIONS

We often make questions in the second conditional with What would you do if …?:
What would you do if you lost your laptop?

Ins
A. you would do B. you do C. will you D. would you do
We can also make yes/no questions in the second conditional:
If someone asked you to lend them your computer, would you do it?
The short answers to these yes/no questions are: Yes, I would./No, I wouldn't. We can also say (Yes,) I might.

Third Conditional

ge
We use the third conditional to talk about imaginary situations in the past.
We often use third conditionals to talk about the opposite of what really happened:
If I'd stayed at home, I wouldn't have met my husband. (She didn't stay at home and so she went to a party and met
ua
her husband.)
If I hadn't lost my job, I wouldn't have started my own business. (He lost his job so he decided to start his own
business.)

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE

ng
If I'd stayed at home, I wouldn't have met my husband.
A. I’d stay B. stay C. I'd stayed D.I am staying
If I hadn't started doing this, I'd have got into a lot more trouble.
La

A. would get B. have got C. will get D. ’d have got

Tips:

As with other conditionals, in the third conditional the if clause can be first or second in the sentence. We use a
comma ( , ) when the if clause is first:
If I hadn't won that race, I'd never have become a serious athlete.
er

I'd never have become a serious athlete if I hadn't won that race.

We can use could have in the main clause of the third conditional to talk about ability:
If I'd been there, I could have helped you.
igh

We can also use might have in the main clause of the third conditional to mean 'would have perhaps':
If you hadn't got lost, we might have got there on time.
We don't usually use would in the if clause: If I'd known, I'd have told you. Not if I would have known, I'd have told
you.

Ins
A I'm the type of person that eats three meals a day.
In this sentence we must use that because it is the subject of the relative clause.

TIPS• We never leave out whose in relative clauses.
• We can usually leave out where if we add a preposition at the end of the relative clause:

ge
