CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
(if sentences)



There are 4 main types of if sentences in English, often called conditional sentences.
These sentences are in two halves (clauses):
       if part (if clause)
  
   the other part where you can use words such as can, will, may, might, could and would (main clause)

ZERO CONDITIONAL is a structure used for talking about general truths -- things which always happen under certain conditions (note that most zero conditional sentences will mean the same thing if "when" is used instead of "if"). The zero conditional is used to talk about things which are always true -- scientific facts, general truths, and so on.
if clause
main clause

Present Simple
If you heat the water to 100 degrees,
it boils.

1st CONDITIONAL is a structure used for talking about possibilities in the present or in the future. The first conditional is used to talk about things which are possible in the present or the future -- things which may happen.
if clause
main clause
Descripción: Clipart-Cartoon-Design-04If + Present Simple
Future Simple, can, may
If you study hard,
you will pass the test.


If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma –

Water boils if you heat it to 100 degrees.
You will pass the test if you study hard.
I would buy a big house if I had a million dollars.
I would have passed the exam if I had studied harder.

What we stand for

We stand for three big ideas:
·             There is a tomorrow
We need to use the planet like there is a tomorrow. This means living within the limits of the natural world.
·             Everyone gets a fair share
Everyone, everywhere, now and tomorrow, deserves to have a good life.
·             Change the rules
We need to change the rules so that the economy works for people and the environment, not pit one against the other
Friends of the Earth seek to influence the government to make changes to policies in favour of people and planet.
It's not just what we do but the way we do it. We raise the issues but we also realize that to make things happen we need to:
·             Focus on the solution
We look for better alternatives to what's already out there
·             Back it up with facts
We base everything on credible research
·             Get lots of people involved
We make it easy for you to act.
·             Use our network
We have access to 77 Friends of the Earth international groups and 230 local groups in the UK
It's good to get involved in something that's positive rather than falling into the trap of thinking there's nothing you can do.
