The first conditional ⇐ ПредыдущаяСтр 10 из 10 We use the First Conditional to talk about future events that are likely to happen.
The 'if' clause can be used with different present forms.
The "future clause" can contain 'going to' or the future perfect as well as 'will'.
The "future clause" can also contain other modal verbs such as 'can' and 'must'.
Second conditional The Second Conditional is used to talk about 'impossible' situations.
Note that after I / he/ she /it we often use the subjunctive form 'were' and not 'was'. (Some people think that 'were' is the only 'correct' form but other people think 'was' is equally 'correct'.)
Note the form 'If I were you' which is often used to give advice.
The Second Conditional is also used to talk about 'unlikely' situations.
Note that the choice between the first and the second conditional is often a question of the speaker's attitude rather than of facts. Compare these examples. Otto thinks these things are possible, Peter doesn't.
Note that the 'If clause' can contain the past simple or the past continuous.
Note that the main clause can contain 'would' 'could' or 'might.
Also note that sometimes the 'if clause' is implied rather than spoken.
Third conditional We can use the Third Conditional to talk about 'impossible' conditions, impossible because they are in the past and we cannot change what has happened. · If I had worked harder at school, I would have got better grades. · If I had had time, I would have gone to see him. But I didn't have time. · If we had bought that house, we would have had to rebuild the kitchen. · If we had caught the earlier train, we would have got there on time but we were late. Notice that the main clause can contain 'would', 'could' or 'might. · If I had seen him at the meeting, I would have asked him. (But he wasn't there so I didn't.) · If I had seen him at the meeting, I could have asked him. (But he wasn't there so it wasn't possible.) · If I had seen him at the meeting, I might have asked him. (But I'm not sure. Perhaps if the opportunity had arisen.) · If I had paid more attention in class, I would have understood the lesson. Also notice that sometimes the 'if clause' is implied rather than spoken. · I'd have done it. ("if you had asked me but you didn't.") · I wouldn't have said that. ("if I'd been there.") · He wouldn't have let him get away with that. ("if he had tried that with me.") 7. Infinitives and –ing forms after verbs. The –ing form can be used like a noun, like an adjective or like a verb.
When it is used like a noun it may or may not have an article before it.
It can also be part of a 'noun phrase'.
In formal English, we would use a possessive with the –ing form. In informal English, many people do not.
As an adjective, the –ing form can be used before a noun.
The –ing form is used after prepositions.
Notice that when 'to' is used as a preposition, it is followed by the –ing form.
There are many verb + -ing combinations. Here are some common ones:
Some verbs can be followed by either the infinitive or –ing form but with different meanings. Here are some common ones:
