IF / WHEN CLAUSE – presents the condition.

THE MAIN CLAUSE / RESULT CLAUSE – explain the result.
CONDITIONALS – are statement expressing the result of a particular condition.
 Conditionals may appear in both affirmative and negative
ZERO CONDITIONAL SECOND CONDITIONAL
FIRST CONDITIONAL THIRD CONDITIONAL
____________________________________________________________________________
ZERO CONDITIONAL – “Factual Conditional” – used to express truths and facts.
IF CLAUSE + RESULT CLAUSE (that is definitely going to happen)
 Things that are real happening or existing around us.
 The result is a fact or a general rule.
 The result clause always shows what will actually happen if the condition in the If Clause
is met.
 Also expresses habits, instructions and rule.
EX:
If you heat water above 100 degrees Celsius, it boils.
If the sun sets, it gets dark.
If you freeze water, it turns into ice.
STRUCTURE:
IF/WHEN + PRSESENT SIMPLE
WHEN TO USE IF / WHEN?
IF – When there is a chance that the action may or may not happen (if it happens, we will know
what the result will be and we are certain about it)
EX:
If I drink coffee, I feel awake.
 There is a chance that I will drink coffee and if id o I feel awake and alert.
 I may drink coffee or not
WHEN – we are sure that the action will happen.
EX:
When I drink coffee, I feel awake.
 We may not sure when that action will happen but it will.
If the power goes out, you can’t use the Wi-Fi.
When you eat spicy food, you feel burning sensation in your mouth.
Plants die if they are not watered.
 the verbs in both clauses are always in the simple present tense.
 The result was planned before the If Clause
NOTE: The meaning of the sentence remains the same.
HABITS
EX:
When I feel sad, I sing a song.
 Whenever the speaker feels sad, he has a habit of singing

When my friends are online, I say hello to them.
INSTRUCTIONS
If my mom calls, tell her to meet me at 5:00 PM
 Notice that the result is an Imperative Statement (to) because I’m giving an instruction,
I’m telling you what to do.
If you need someone to talk to, call me
 Tells us what to do, whenever we need someone to talk to, we call a friend.
RULES
You can enter the mall, if you have a quarantine pass.
Students can borrow book, if they present their library card.
NOTE: The IF CLAUSE and THE RESULT CLAUSE are just friends
Two clauses work hand in hand
(the facts written in the result clause will surely happen if the if clause (condition|) is met)
Conditionals can be used in expressing a stand or an argument. Expressing an argument is
helpful in presenting one’s reasoning to change another person’s point of view on an issue or
topic.
Conditionals may be helpful in persuading others to move or act and even change their
thoughts.

happen)

 Unreal past – a past that didn’t happen
 Imaginary situation in the past that causes a n imaginary result in the past.

happened in the past
