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
If + Present Simple	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
If + 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.
