4 Conditionals in English and When To Use Them
4 Conditionals in English and When To Use Them
([Link]
Conditionals? Is that something you use after shampooing your hair? Not quite. You may have heard
your English teacher talk about conditionals. Who knows, you may have even learnt a couple:
But just when you think you’ve mastered them all, another one pops up that seems harder than the
last.
Well, the good news is there are four main conditionals. All of which we’re going to teach you today.
So that by the end of this blog post you’ll not only recognise them but also feel comfortable to use
them in a variety of situations. We’ll also share some fun videos with you!
So, if you’re ready to begin, let’s get the ball rolling. (That’s the first conditional by the way).
The conditionals
Conditionals are also known as if clauses, we use them to say that one thing depends on something
else. They can be used to talk about something that always happens, might happen or might have
happened as a result of another state, action or event.

Check out these four conditionals and how to use them in a sentence.

SEARCH
As you can see, the sentences are divided into two parts:
These are separated by a comma, but they also function in the following order without one and
mean exactly the same thing:
RECENT POSTS
Main clause (result) + if clause (condition)
2. First conditional
Finished the quiz? Now, back to work! Let’s move on to the first conditional. We use this to talk
about things in the future that are likely to happen or have a real possibility of happening.
When, as soon as, in case, unless, as long as, after. However, each of these connectors changes the
meaning of the sentence slightly.
May, might, shall, should, could or an imperative in the main clause. This changes the meaning, or the
likelihood of the result.
Activity Two
Want to try out your skills with the first conditional? Try this Grammar Gameshow from BBC Learn
English.
3. Second conditional
So you’re halfway through learning the conditionals. Well done you! The thing is, this is where things
get a bit more difficult.
Whereas the zero and first conditionals describe a real or possible situation, the second and third
are imaginary or hypothetical situations. Let’s start with the second conditional:
As you can see, in the if clause we use the past simple, and in the main clause we use the
conditional would. We can also use the word could to mean a hypothetical possibility.
([Link]
The second conditional refers to the present or the future, and is used to talk about anything
unlikely to happen. Imagine meeting Lionel Messi, or finding a million dollars on the floor. These
things might not have happened to you, but you sure can dream!
Activity Three
Lots of songs contain the second conditional! Here are some great examples for you to sing along
with:
4. Third conditional
Last but not least, we have the third conditional. We use this structure to talk about an imagined
past. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, here’s where you can change the past. Well, at least
speculate how things could have been different.
As you can see, we often use the third conditional to talk about regrets, and it is based on an unreal
situation that cannot be changed.
Past participles
The third conditional is a little tricky, as there’s a lot to remember. So make sure you know your past
participles inside out first. Here’s a list of past participles ([Link]
[Link]/grammar-irregular-past-participles/) for you to revise.
Activity Four
Watch this story about a surprise birthday party from The British Council to see third conditional in
use:
Grammar Snacks: Third conditional
([Link]
These sentences express that if something had been different in the past, something would be
different now in the present.
So that’s the end of our round up of the main conditionals! If you’re in the mood for some more
