This is called a conditional clause. The event described in the main clause depends on the condition described in the conditional clause. There are four main kinds of condition expressed by if-clause. I. Real conditionals: They refer to things we think are true or likely. (A) The zero conditional (B) The first conditional (vid. Unit 2) II. Unreal conditionals: They refer to things we think are untrue or unlikely. (C) The second conditional (vid. Unit 3) (D) The third conditional (vid. Unit 4) The zero conditional Zero conditional sentences have the Present Simple in both clauses and refer to all time, not just the present or future. They express a situation that is generally or always true. In this type of condition, if means whenever. Form: IF +... PRESENT SIMPLE...,... PRESENT SIMPLE... 1. If I drink coffee, I get a headache. 2. The door opens if you press this button.

GRAMMAR MEMO Active : Another company took over my company. Passive : My company was taken over (by another company). vid. QQ One-on-One Book 4 (Unit 24) Q-rex : How are things with you, Bob? Bob : Things haven t been too good for me lately, I m afraid. My company was taken over last month and there s a real possibility that I may lose my job. Q-rex : I m sorry to hear that. I hope you can keep your job. Bob : Never mind. If I lose my job, I ll buy a lottery ticket. Ha ha ha! Anyway, Q-rex, if you won the lottery, what would you do? Q-rex : If I won some money, I would go around the world. How about you, Bob? Bob : I would give up my job and retire. I don t like my job. If you were in my position, you would understand.

Three 8. Listen and repeat Social expressions (Showing sympathy) I m sorry to hear that. (=when you hear some bad news.) (Saying you are pleased) I m delighted to hear that. (=when you hear some good news) (Complimenting someone on their appearance) You look very smart. (Responding to compliments) Thank you for saying so. 9. Which sentence expresses a real possibility, and which sentence shows that the speaker is imagining a situation? 1. If I lose my job, I ll buy a lottery ticket. 2. If I lost my job, I would buy a lottery ticket. 10. Look at the conditional sentences below. Which sentence expresses a possible situation? Which sentence expresses an unlikely or unreal situation? What verb forms are used in both clauses below? main clause conditional clause 1. What will you do if the weather is nice tomorrow? 2. What would you do if you won the lottery? Grammar Reference The second conditional We use the second conditional to talk about unreal or unlikely situations. We imagine a situation in the present or future but we think it will probably not happen. Form: IF +... PAST...,... WOULD/ COULD/ MIGHT... Note that,after I/ he/ she/ it, we often use the subjunctive form were instead of was. Was is sometimes used in very informal speech but is not generally considered grammatically acceptable. E.g. If I had the chance to do it again, I would do it differently. If I had the wings, I could fly to you. If you stopped smoking, you might feel better. If I were you, I would get more qualifications. 11. Imagine these situations and put the verb into the correct form. 1. What would you do if you your passport? (lose) 2. If I sold my car, I.. much money for it. (not/ get) 3. If there a fire in the building, what would you do? (be) 4. If they offered me the job, I think I it. (take) 5. We wouldn t have any money if we (not/ work)

Three Grammar Hints Note that the choice between the first and the second conditional is often a question of the speaker s attitude rather than of facts. Compare these examples. 1. Q-ty : I ve lost my book. Jane : If I find it, I ll tell you. Jane feels there s a real possibility that she will find the book. (=the first conditional) 2. Q-ty : I ve lost my purse. Jane : Oh, dear! I don t expect to find it, but if I found it, I would tell you. (=the second conditional) Jane is imagining the situation that will probably not happen. If you imagine something like this, you use if + past, but the meaning is not past. 3. Who thinks the promotion is possible? Q-ty : If I get promoted, I ll throw a big party. (=the first conditional) Q-rex: If I got promoted, I would throw a big party. (=the second conditional) 12. Choose the correct tenses. 1. If you (will come/ come/ came) late again, you ll lose the job. 2. If I (will know/ know/ knew) her address, I would give it to you. 3. If we had more money, we (won t/ wouldn t) be living here. 4. If our daughter (will pass/ passes/ passed) all her exams, we ll buy her a big present. 5. You (will/ would) feel better, if you stopped drinking. SPEAKING 13. Now answer your teacher s questions. Grammar Focus t The second conditional t Pub expressions t Social expressions Check 3 Word order Write the words in the correct order. Each sentence must begin with a capital letter. 1. money / world / go / around / some / won / would / I / I / if / the /. / 2. with / are / you / things / how /? / 3. in / understand / position / were / my / if / would / you / you /. /

Four If you had told me, I could have picked you up at the airport. Target Language Guess where I m calling you from? Why didn t you tell me you were coming to London? If you had told me, I could have picked you up at the airport. <Key Vocabulary> VERBS surprise accept PHRASAL VERBS pick up NOUNS problem ADJECTIVES icy LISTENING AND READING 1. Watch your teacher playing the roles of Q-rex and Q-ty.

Four 2. Read and listen. Q-rex : Hello... Hello... Is that you, Q-ty? Q-ty : Yes... Who s that speaking? Q-rex : 3. Listen and repeat This is Q-rex. Guess where I m calling you from. Not from Cebu. I m in London now! Q-ty : Wow! Why didn t you tell me you were coming to London? If you had told me, I could have picked you up at the airport. Q-rex : I wanted to surprise you, didn t I? Q-ty : Well, you surely surprised me! The third conditional Third conditional sentences are not based on fact. They express a situation which is contrary to reality in the past. We imagine the impossible, i.e. something which did not happen. The speaker is imagining a different past. Form: IF +... PAST PERFECT...,... WOULD/ COULD/ MIGHT +PERFECT INFINITIVE(have + past participle)... E.g. If Christopher Columbus hadn t discovered America, the history of the world would have been quite different. If he had driven more carefully, he wouldn t have been killed. Grammar Reference 4. For each situation, write a sentence beginning with If. 1. The accident happened because the road was icy. If the road 2. I didn t go out because I was so tired. If I. 3. The weather was so bad that s why we didn t go out. If 4. I didn t stay in bed because I didn t know there was no more work to do. If I. Grammar Reference The mixed conditional In addition to all the tense variations that we can use in the above conditionals, it is also possible to mix conditionals. The most common mixed conditional is: If + past perfect (3rd), would/ could/ might + infinitive (2nd) E.g. If you had worked harder, you would have a degree now. If he had driven more carefully, he would be alive now.

Four 5. Put the verbs in brackets into the appropriate form. 1. If I (not/ accept) that job, I (not/ have) much money now. 2. If you (tell) me about the problem last week, everything (be) all right now. 3. If he (die) so young, he (be) a famous golfer now. ROLE PLAYING 6. Roleplay. 7. Change roles. SPEAKING Your teacher is Q-rex. You are Q-ty. 8. Oral Exercise (with your book closed) Begin your response with But if I had known... Example: There was a party last night.

There was a test yesterday. You didn t know that so you didn t study. I had a problem. You didn t know that, so you didn t offer to help. 9. Now answer your teacher s questions.

Five I wish I were a millionaire. Target Language It was nice to hear from you. I wish I were a millionaire.

I m expecting a call. I wish (=If only) the phone would ring. We use a Past Simple form to talk about the present, and a Past Perfect form to talk about the past. And we use would to make wishes about the future.
