The document discusses the different types of conditionals in English: first, second, and third. The first conditional is used to talk about possible situations in the present or future. The second conditional expresses improbable or imaginary situations, and the third conditional refers to impossible past situations. Examples are provided to illustrate the different conditionals and how they are formed depending on whether the situation is possible, improbable, or impossible.

an exam. (1st conditional) 1st Conditional If I study, I will pass the exam. I know I will pass. It is possible, because I just need to study!
We use the first
conditional to talk about a POSSIBLE situation, now or in the future. If + subject + infinitive, subject + future 2nd Conditional If I studied, I would pass the exam. I should be studying, but I’m playing instead. So passing the exam is improbable or imaginary.
We use the 2nd conditional to talk
about IMPROBABLE or IMAGINARY situations , now or in the future.
If + subject + past simple, subject
+ would + infinitive 3rd Conditional If I had studied, I would have passed the exam
Now it’s too late. Bart failed
the exam, because he didn’t study. We use the 3rd conditional to talk about a situation in the past that DIDN’T HAPPEN – always IMAGINARY If + subject + past perfect, subject + would have + past participle Remember! Is it possible? Then it is a 1st conditional Ex. If it rains, I will take my umbrella.
Is it improbable/imaginary? Then it is a 2nd conditional
Ex. If I lived in Tokyo, I would eat sushi every day
Is it impossible (past)? Then it is a 3rd conditional.
Ex. If he had invited me to the party, I would have buy him a very nice present
