All of the English Conditionals

In today’s video we’ll be looking at all of the conditionals. That’s zero, one, two, three and that mixed one. That no one really understands. Let’s begin, so, let’s start with the zero conditional. This is a conditional we use for usually facts we want to say. This thing is always true. For example, the facts about me it’s always true if I eat donuts. I am happy. this is an example of the zero conditional. Again, it’s always true. Let’s look at the form, if I eat donuts. The condition if, with a present verb. The result of that condition is, I am happy. again, that verb is in present.

So, very easy to remember. If present results present and again. We use this conditional to talk about things which are always true. Very common. when you talk about scientific facts. If you heat ice, it melts. It’s always true. So, let’s look at the first conditional. Now the first conditional talks about real situations. Things which are likely to happen. Things which probably will happen. For example, so, in this example it’s something real. He can see a doughnut and he’s saying, if I eat that doughnut. So, it is something real. I will be happy. Now, he’s using a future.

Because, he’s not talking about something that always happens. He’s talking about this situation. It’s a real situation. It’s right there. He can eat the doughnuts, probably will happen. So, if I eat that doughnut I will be happy. Let’s look at the form the conditional sentence. Again, it’s a present verb. If with a present verb and the result of that real conditional, I will be happy. You notice the verb is in a future form I know what you’re thinking, can I only use will? How about going to that’s a future form. You’re right. It is and you can just know it’s a future form. I will be, I’m going to be happy.

That is the first conditional again for real situations, which probably will happen on to the second conditional. Now, my favorite conditional. Because, we use it to talk about not real situations. When you want to use your imagination, imagine possibilities. This is the conditional to use. For example, when we imagine things that are not real, not possible, hypothetical situations. then, we use the second conditional. And the form is this. If I were Superman, I would be happy. I were what the hell, shouldn’t it be if I was. Because, this situation is not real. It’s imaginary.

It’s completely not factual. We would use what’s called the subjunctive mood. Subjunctive. The subjunctive mood of the verb be in the past is were for every pronoun I, you, he, she, it. Doesn’t matter. It’s always were. So, the condition has a past verb. But, that doesn’t mean this situation means past this just means this is an imaginary situation and it’s not real. So, if you see, if with a past verb, it just means it’s not real the situation. Well not always stay there. The result of that condition is I would be happy. that modal verb would that forms the dead dinner second conditional. But, remember, this is not only for not real situations. We use it to talk about future possibilities. For example, he is thinking about the possibility of eating chicken.

Hmm it’s possible to eat chicken. Well, there’s no chicken in my hand. But, it is possible I could go to the shop and I could buy some chicken. It’s a possibility. So again, he can use that second conditional. If I ate chicken, I would be happy. So, again this is not impossible. it’s just a possibility. So, that’s another way. We use second conditional and finally the third conditional. Remember, the guy was thinking of out eating chicken. He said if I ate chicken, I would be happy. well, let’s imagine that he ate that chicken. But, it was a bad chicken. what happens after that? Oh, toilet problems.

So, what can he say in this situation? He wants to imagine a past where he did not eat that chicken. Because, the chicken made poo. Happen he’s imagining a different past. If I had not or the contraction hadn’t eaten chicken. That’s the condition to talk about a different past. We need to make that past perfect. If I had or had not and the verb 3 or past participle. In this case if I had not or hadn’t eaten chicken. The result of that the imaginary result of that you remember. That word which means something imaginary would write this is where it gets interesting.

So, the third conditional is this. We’ve got our if with a past perfect that describes a different past situation that we imagined. Because, it’s not real and in the past and the results of that not real imaginary past situation is this I would not what contraction. Wouldn’t have got diarrhea. This describes an imaginary result of an imaginary condition in the past. So, imaginary past condition. Imaginary past results of that condition. Look at the grammar. what can we see? That’s our imaginary word. would or in the negative would not. Remember the contraction wouldn’t have and a verb 3 past participle. Hmm, if that’s a he or an, it or she. Do you think that will be has no? Why?

Because, that’s a modal verb. Therefore that doesn’t change its that original verb. One form. So, the whole thing if I had not eaten that chicken, I would not have got diarrhea. Ah, and if you don’t have diarrhea. How do you feel pretty happy right I know? I am every day that I don’t have diarrhea. I’m pretty happy. So, this is where we can mix the conditionals. This sentence talks about how that would affect the past we can use. That second conditional grammar to talk about. How this affects the present again. An imaginary present.

Because, we’re imagining that, that didn’t happen. Right, so, I would be happy get diarrhea. that means you start the diarrhea I’m using the word diarrhea way too much for an English lesson. I’m sorry. That explains the past in the present. We can say I don’t have diarrhea. Now, okay. How could I say that is an imaginary thing? Let’s use the contraction. I wouldn’t I wouldn’t have diarrhea. The whole thing to talk about how this affects the past if I hadn’t eaten that chicken. I would not have got diarrhea in the past. Remember, get means start the diarrhea. To talk about how it affects the present. I wouldn’t have. Now, diarrhea I’m so sorry. The amount of times I use diarrhea in this lesson. Jesus Christ. So, that makes that third conditional and these are examples of a mixed conditional. Using a past imaginary situation and how it affects the present. Mmm, yeah, so, that was a very quick explanation of all of the conditionals.
