Conditionals
There are four conditional tenses in English using if:
Zero conditional
The zero conditional is used for scientific facts or statements that are always
true.
When can be used instead of if and the meaning remains the same.
First conditional
The first conditional is used to talk about the possibility of something
happening in the future. We use will to make the first conditional.
"If John invites me, I will go to the party." - John is having a party, but I will only
go when he invites me.
"If it snows, we will go skiing." - It looks like there is a chance of snow later.
When the snow comes, we will go snowing. No snow, no skiing!
Second conditional
Just like the first conditional, the second conditional is used to talk about the
future; however, it refers to to situations which are often unreal. It is used to
talk about dream situations. Would is used in the second conditional to show
an unreal situation.
Third conditional
The third conditional is used to talk about past events which did not happen.
We use it to talk about something that we wish had happened in the past, but
didn't. It's used to describe an unreal situation that has no chance of coming
true. We use would have + past -participle to make the third conditional.
"If I had passed my exam, my parents would have been happy." - I did not pass
my exam, my parents are not happy.
"If I had studied harder, I would have passed the test." - I did not study enough
so I did not pass. I know that I should have studied more in order to pass.
