Grammar Focus - 1st, 2nd and 3rd conditionals

Conditional sentences are used to talk about possible situations and the result of those situations.

Conditional	Form	Usage	Example
1st conditional	if + present simple, will + infinitive	used to talk about possible situations	If it's sunny tomorrow, I'll go to the seaside.
2nd conditional	if + past simple, would + infinitive	used to talk about hypothetical situations	If I became rich, I would buy an expensive villa in France.
3rd conditional	if + past perfect, would + have + past participle	used to talk about hypothetical situations in the past	If I hadn't gone to Egypt, I wouldn't have seen the pyramids
* Conditionals are usually expressed with the if clause first and the future clause second but the order isn't important. Both of these sentences are equally correct: If it rains, I will stay home and I will stay home if it rains. Note that we don't use a comma if the if clause is used second.
* Never use a future tense twice in a conditional sentence (like is often done in other languages). This is not correct: If it will rain, I will stay home
* Conditionals are frequently contracted and this can make understanding difficult for non-native speakers. We often contract will as I'll, you'll, etc.. We often contract would as I'd, you'd, etc..

Speaking with conditional sentences

Work with a partner, if you can, and ask/answer these questions. If you're on your own you should think about these questions and write your answers instead.

• How long would it have taken you to get here if you had walked?
• How will you get to work if it rains tomorrow?
• If you were going to take a vacation, where would you go?
• If you could drive any car you wanted, what would it be?
• If you had gone to London on holiday last year, what would you have done?
