Journey our Target most essential
learning competency for this video is
use conditionals in expressing
arguments
these are just some of the examples of
conditionals that you are about to learn
[Music]
today as grammatical features
conditionals are used in expressing
stand or arguments which may be helpful
in persuading others to move or act and
even change their thoughts
[Music]
conditionals are statements expressing
the result of a particular
condition if clause and when Clause
present the condition while the main
Clause explains the results for example
if you pray hard for it you will receive
it when you pray God
listens main Clause may appear first
before the conditionals yet the meaning
of the sentence Remains the Same so for
this example you may also say you will
receive it if you pray hard for it and
for this God listens When you
pray there are different types of
conditionals which include the following
zero first second and third
conditionals first let's talk about zero
conditionals zero conditional deals with
habits and general truths such as loss
it is formed using this
structure here are the
examples When you pray God listens if
you place it in the fridge the water
freezes if if it is already curfew time
the road
closes from these you can observe that
the verbs in the condition and Main
Clause are all in simple present
tense meaning sentence you just have to
delete the comma that separates them
take a look at
this God listens When you
pray the water freezes if you place it
in the fridge the road closes if it is
already curfew
time let's proceed to First conditionals
first conditional is used in dealing
with things that are possibly or likely
to happen in the
future
in other structure we may substitute
unless as long as as soon as or in case
instead of if or when but for the very
purpose of learning conditionals we will
stick to using if and when and it is
formed using this
structure for example if you don't pass
the test I will hire a tutor for you
when he receives his first salary he
will buy me a new phone if lla forgets
her bag I will call her mom to get it as
mentioned earlier we are to use the
present simple tense of the verb in the
conditional Clause while in the main
Clause we use the future tense will plus
the base form of the
verb now these are the examples Naman
for the inverted form in which main
Clause comes first before the
conditional I will hire a tutor if you
don't pass the
test he will buy me a new phone when he
receives his first
salary I will call lyla's Mom to get her
bag if she forgets
[Music]
it now let's talk about second
conditional it is used in dealing with
things impossible in the present and are
unlikely to occur in the future it is
formed using this
structure examples if I only passed the
test I would celebrate the party if I
received a lot of money I would buy a
new
phone if I were a boy I would do
everything to please my
girl take note of the verbs used in the
conditional Clause they are in simple
past tense
while in the main Clause is would plus
base form of the
verb and the last one is third
conditional we use the third conditional
to talk about things that were
impossible in the past and can no longer
happen now thus the sad situation
yielded to different result we also use
this conditional to express regret or
it is formed using this
[Music]
structure now this is how we form the
past perfect tense had Plus past
participle form of the verb take note
that we are to use the past participle
form of verb not the past simple
now let's use these verbs for the
conditional
Clause if she had worked hard on her
portfolio if my beautiful cousin had
joined the
pageant if she had gone to sleep
earlier if he had left home at 6:00
a.m. this time we will focus on the
structure of the main Clause it consists
of would have Plus past
participle
examples would have passed would have
won would have been tired would have
been now let's Supply the main clause
for the given conditional claes if she
had worked hard on her portfolio she
would have passed the
course if my beautiful cousin had joined
the pageant she would have won the
crown if Sheila had gone to sleep
earlier
she wouldn't have been
tired if Harold had left home at 6:00
a.m. he would have been in time for the
audition again you can exchange the
position of conditional and Main Clause
without changing the meaning of the
