The conditional
There are four types of conditional: type 1,type 2,type 3 and type o
Today,we are going to see conditional type 1
Look at these examples
If I finish my work early,I'll visit my uncle
She won't come to the party if she is not invited
Well,we have two clauses combined by if
The clause in which we have if, is called if clause
The other clause is called the result clause
The verb of if clause is put in the present simple
The verb of the result clause is put in the future simple
If can occur at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence
Let's have a look on the first example again
If I finish my work early,I will visit my uncle...........It means that
If I don't finish my work early,I won't visit my uncle
It means that the result clause depends on the if clause..........It means that
If the if clause happens,the result clause will happen and if it doesn't happen,the result clause won't happen,too
Exercise 1: Give the right form of the verbs in brackets
If it ( rain ) ,we ( not go ) for a picnic
The pupils ( be ) punished if they ( not do ) therir homework
If he ( come ) tomorrow,he ( take ) his the children to their mother
Exercise 2: Complete with an if clause or result clause
If the teacher is absent tomorrow
If it snows
She won't wash the clothes
I won't watch it
He will succeed,of course
