always happen under certain conditions.

If the “if” clause comes first, a

comma is usually used. If the “if”

clause comes second, there is no

need for a comma:



We use the same verb form in each part of a

zero conditional: the simple present tense:

We can also use the past simple in the two

clauses:

If I stayed out late, I always got a taxi home.



Using the Zero conditional

• The zero conditional is used to talk about

things which are always true — such as

scientific facts and general truths:



•If people eat too much, they get fat.

•If you touch a fire, you get burned.

•People die if they don't eat.

Si no salimos los sábados, alquilamos un video y nos quedamos en casa.•If you freeze water, it turns into ice. Si congelas el agua, se convierte en hielo.



First conditional

• We use the first conditional to talk aboutactions or events in the future which are

likely to happen or have a real possibilityof happening.

• For example, it is morning. You are at

home. You plan to play tennis thisafternoon. But there are some clouds inthe sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do?



•More Examples:

• If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home. (I think there is a real possibility of rain tomorrow. In this

condition, I will stay at home)

•

If my father doesn't buy me a bike for my birthday, I will be very unhappy. (I think there is a

real possibility that my father won't buy me a

bike. In this condition, I will be unhappy)



• If it rains this weekend, I' ll stay at home• If it 's sunny this weekend, I' ll go to the beach

• If I have a party, will you come?

• If we invite her, will she come?

•

If I' m sick, will you look after me? • If we eat out tonight, where will we go?

• If you cook tonight, what will you make?

• If you have a party, we'll come

• If they do that again, I’ ll be really angry!

• If you drop it, it' ll break.

• If you come at ten, we' ll be ready.

• If you phone me, I' ll pick you up at the park.



We can use other modal verbs in

place of will.

only a possibility)

If you come early, you can see my

mother before she leaves. (It is

possible for you to see my mother)
