🅾 Real Conditional
🛑 We use real conditionals to talk about results based on real events and situations. Real conditionals are divided into zero and first conditionals.
🔴 When we know the same result always happens after an event or situation, we use a zero conditional.
🛑 FORM 🛑
🔵 Conditional sentences have two parts:
🛑 the if— clause
🛑 the result clause
🔵 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.
🔵 Office hours are between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm, Monday to Thursday if you want to see us.
🅾 We can use present continuous and past tenses with real conditional sentences, as well as modal verbs like #can and #passive_forms.
🔴 If you are having problems with your accommodation, we can try to help you.
🔵 Jane stopped studying if she felt tired and took a break instead.
🅾 With zero conditionals, #if can be replaced by #when to make the result of the condition more certain.
🔵 When you want to call us, telephone 0800 835222.
🅾 We use #then to focus on the result of the condition.
🔴 If the International Office is closed for lunch, then leave a note at main reception.
🅾 Because real conditionals refer to something that is generally true, we can use adverbs of frequency like #always and #never with them.
🔵 If we are not here, you can always leave a message.
🛑 Negative Form 🛑
🅾 We can make the #if_clause or the #result_clause or #both clauses #negative, but this changes the meaning of the sentence.
🔵 If you don’t need help, don’t call us!
🔴 If you don’t know how to use the University computer system, we teach you how to do it.
