Material
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Structure of Conditional Sentences

The structure of most conditionals is very simple. There are two basic possibilities. Of
course, we add many words and can use various tenses, but the basic structure is usually
like this:

IF condition result

IF y = 10 2y = 20
or like this:

result IF condition

2y = 20 IF y = 10

First Conditional: real possibility

We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation
in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition
will happen. For example, it is morning. You are at home. You plan to play tennis this
afternoon. But there are some clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do?

IF condition result

present simple WILL + base verb

If it rains I will stay at home.

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky is
cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the present simple tense to talk about the
possible future condition. We use WILL + base verb to talk about the possible future
result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that
the condition will happen. Here are some more examples (do you remember the two basic
structures: [IF condition result] and [result IF condition]?):

IF condition result

present simple WILL + base verb

If I see Mary I will tell her.

If Tara is free tomorrow he will invite her.

English Lesson Plan for Grade XII Odd Semester © smk3kudus2010

Tri Rubiyanto
If they do not pass their exam their teacher will be sad.

If it rains tomorrow will you stay at home?

If it rains tomorrow what will you do?

result IF condition

WILL + base verb present simple

I will tell Mary if I see her.

He will invite Tara if she is free tomorrow.

Their teacher will be sad if they do not pass their exam.

Will you stay at home if it rains tomorrow?

What will you do if it rains tomorrow?

** Sometimes, we use shall, can, or may instead of will, for example: If you are good today, you
can watch TV tonight.

Second Conditional: unreal possibility or dream

The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking about the future.
We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this condition.
But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, you do not
have a lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! No lottery ticket, no win! But maybe you
will buy a lottery ticket in the future. So you can think about winning in the future, like a
dream. It's not very real, but it's still possible.

IF condition result

past simple WOULD + base verb

If I won the lottery I would buy a car.

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. We use the past simple tense to talk
about the future condition. We use WOULD + base verb to talk about the future result.
The important thing about the second conditional is that there is an unreal possibility
that the condition will happen.
Here are some more examples:

English Lesson Plan for Grade XII Odd Semester © smk3kudus2010

Tri Rubiyanto
IF condition result

past simple WOULD + base verb

If I married Mary I would be happy.

If Ram became rich she would marry him.

If it snowed next July would you be surprised?

If it snowed next July what would you do?

result IF condition

WOULD + base verb past simple

I would be happy if I married Mary.

She would marry Ram if he became rich.

Would you be surprised if it snowed next July?

What would you do if it snowed next July?

Sometimes, we use should, could or might instead of would, for example: If I won a million
dollars, I could stop working.

Third Conditional: no possibility

The first conditional and second conditionals talk about the future. With the third
conditional we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the past that did not
happen. That is why there is no possibility for this condition. The third conditional is also
like a dream, but with no possibility of the dream coming true.
Last week you bought a lottery ticket. But you did not win.

condition result

Past Perfect WOULD HAVE + Past Participle

If I had won the lottery I would have bought a car.

Notice that we are thinking about an impossible past condition. You did not win the
lottery. So the condition was not true, and that particular condition can never be true
because it is finished. We use the past perfect tense to talk about the impossible past
condition. We use WOULD HAVE + past participle to talk about the impossible past

English Lesson Plan for Grade XII Odd Semester © smk3kudus2010

Tri Rubiyanto
result. The important thing about the third conditional is that both the condition and
result are impossible now.
Sometimes, we use should have, could have, might have instead of would have, for
example: If you had bought a lottery ticket, you might have won.
Look at some more examples in the tables below:

IF condition result

past perfect WOULD HAVE + past participle

If I had seen Mary I would have told her.

If Tara had been free yesterday I would have invited her.

If they had not passed their exam their teacher would have been sad.

If it had rained yesterday would you have stayed at home?

If it had rained yesterday what would you have done?

result IF condition

WOULD HAVE + past participle past perfect

I would have told Mary if I had seen her.

I would have invited Tara if she had been free yesterday.

Their teacher would have been sad if they had not passed their exam.

Would you have stayed at home if it had rained yesterday?

What would you have done if it had rained yesterday?

Zero Conditional: certainty

We use the so-called zero conditional when the result of the condition is always true, like
a scientific fact.
Take some ice. Put it in a saucepan. Heat the saucepan. What happens? The ice melts (it
becomes water). You would be surprised if it did not.

IF condition result

present simple present simple

If you heat ice it melts.

English Lesson Plan for Grade XII Odd Semester © smk3kudus2010

Tri Rubiyanto
Notice that we are thinking about a result that is always true for this condition. The result
of the condition is an absolute certainty. We are not thinking about the future or the past,
or even the present. We are thinking about a simple fact. We use the present simple tense
to talk about the condition. We also use the present simple tense to talk about the result.
The important thing about the zero conditional is that the condition always has the same
result.

We can also use when instead of if, for example: When I get up late I miss my bus.
Look at some more examples in the tables below:

IF condition result

present simple present simple

If I miss the 8 o'clock bus I am late for work.

If I am late for work my boss gets angry.

If people don't eat they get hungry.

If you heat ice does it melt?

result IF condition

present simple present simple

I am late for work if I miss the 8 o'clock bus.

My boss gets angry if I am late for work.

People get hungry if they don't eat.

Does ice melt if you heat it?

Subjunctive

The subjunctive is a special, relatively rare verb form in English.

Structure of the Subjunctive

The structure of the subjunctive is extremely simple. For all verbs except the past
tense of be, the subjunctive is the same as the bare infinitive (infinitive without "to"):

be (past) be (present) all other verbs (past & present)

I were I be I work
you were you be you work
he, she, it were he, she, it be he, she, it work
we were we be we work
you were you be you work
they were they be they work

The subjunctive does not change according to person (I, you, he etc).

Use of the Subjunctive

We use subjunctives mainly when talking about events that are not certain to
happen. For example, we use the subjunctive when talking about events that
somebody:
 wants to happen
 hopes will happen
 imagines happening
Look at these examples:
 The President requests that you be present at the meeting.
 It is vital that you be present at the meeting.
 If you were at the meeting, the President would be happy.
The subjunctive is typically used after two structures:
 the verbs: ask, command, demand, insist, propose, recommend, request, suggest +
that
 the expressions: it is desirable, essential, important, necessary, vital + that
Here are some examples with the subjunctive:
 The manager insists that the car park be locked at night.
 The board of directors recommended that he join the company.
 It is essential that we vote as soon as possible.
 It was necessary that every student submit his essay by the weekend.
Notice that in these structures the subjunctive is always the same. It does not
matter whether the sentence is past or present. Look at these examples:
 Present: The President requests that they stop the occupation.
 Past: The President requested that they stop the occupation.
 Present: It is essential that she be present.

English Lesson Plan for Grade XII Odd Semester © smk3kudus2010

Tri Rubiyanto
 Past: It was essential that she be present.
The use of the subjunctive as above is more common in American English than in
English, where should + infinitive is often used:

 The manager insists that the car park should be locked at night.
 It was essential that we should vote as soon as possible.
We usually use the subjunctive were instead of "was" after if (and other words
with similar meaning). Look at these sentences:
 If I were you, I would ask her.
 Suppose she were here. What would you say?
Why do we say "I were", "he were"?
We sometimes hear things like "if I were you, I would go" or "if he were here, he
would tell you". Normally, the past tense of the verb "to be" is: I was, he was. But
the if I were you structure does not use the past simple tense of the verb "to be". It
uses the past subjunctive of the verb "to be". In the following examples, you can
see that we often use the subjunctive form were instead of "was" after:
 if
 as if
 wish
 suppose

Formal Informal

(The were form is correct at (The was form is possible in informal,

all times.) familiar conversation.)

If I were younger, I would

If I was younger, I would go.

If he weren't so mean, he If he wasn't so mean, he would buy one for

I wish I weren't so slow! I wish I wasn't so slow!

I wish it were longer. I wish it was longer.

It's not as if I were ugly. It's not as if I was ugly.

If I were you, I should tell Note: We do not normally say "if I was
her. you", even in familiar conversation.

Some fixed expressions use the subjunctive. Here are some examples:
 Long live the King!
 God bless America!
 Heaven forbid!
 Be that as it may, he still wants to see her.
 Come what may, I will never forget you.
 We are all citizens of the world, as it were.
