Ύ Real Conditional
π We use real conditionals to talk about results based on real events and situations. Real conditionals are divided into zero and first conditionals.
π΄ When we know the same result always happens after an event or situation, we use a zero conditional.
π FORM π
π΅ Conditional sentences have two parts:
π the ifβ clause
π the result clause
π΅ We can put the #if_clause first, or we can put the #result_clause first. We do not need a #comma when the result clause comes first.
π΅ Office hours are between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm, Monday to Thursday if you want to see us.
π Ύ We can use present continuous and past tenses with real conditional sentences, as well as modal verbs like #can and #passive_forms.
π΄ If you are having problems with your accommodation, we can try to help you.

π Ύ With zero conditionals, #if can be replaced by #when to make the result of the condition more certain.
π΅ When you want to call us, telephone 0800 835222.
π Ύ We use #then to focus on the result of the condition.
π΄ If the International Office is closed for lunch, then leave a note at main reception.
π Ύ Because real conditionals refer to something that is generally true, we can use adverbs of frequency like #always and #never with them.
π΅ If we are not here, you can always leave a message.

π Ύ We can make the #if_clause or the #result_clause or #both clauses #negative, but this changes the meaning of the sentence.
