What to Focus On

  • Conditionals are made up of two elements: the main clause and the if clause.
  • The if clause is also known as the conditional.
  • The if clause tells the condition.
  • Zero Conditional is used for real/factual situations.
  • It is also used when one thing automatically follows another.
  • Structure: if clause (simple present) + main clause (simple present).
  • First Conditional is used for possible future situations.
  • Structure: if clause (simple present) + main clause (simple future).
  • The if clause can use different present tense forms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All conditional sentences use the same tense pattern.

The if clause always takes future tense.

Zero conditional and first conditional mean the same thing.
