Top Notch 2 Unit 10 REAL AND UNREAL CONDITIONALS


A Conditional sentence describes a situation when in order for something to be true a certain condition must be met.


There are three most common kinds of conditional sentences depending on whether we talk about a Future, Present or Past situation.


FUTURE REAL CONDITIONAL
FORM      If + Simple Present, Will or be + going to + verb base form


USE


We use Future Real Conditional for imagining or guessing about the future. It is called "real" because it is possible that the action might occur in the future. 





PRESENT UNREAL CONDITIONAL


FORM     If + Simple Past, would + verb base form 


USE


The Present Unreal Conditional is used to talk about present hypothetical or imaginary situations. It is used when the speaker speculates about a present situation or something that is impossible. 





PAST UNREAL CONDITIONAL


FORM  If+ Past Perfect, would have + past participle 


USE


The Past Unreal Conditional is used to talk about imaginary situations in the past. You cannot change the situation but you can describe what would have happened if the circumstances had been different.



Use of Conditionals 
We use these conditionals to:
  • Talk about a situation, which you know does not exist or a hypothetical situation: as,
If I had a word processor, I’d finish this in five minutes (but I haven’t got a typewriter)
  • To show the effect of a particular constraint on the present situation: as,
If I ate less sugar, I’d lose weight
If I smoked less, I wouldn’t cough so much.
  • To give advice: as,
If I were you, I’d give up smoking.
If I were you, I’d quit the job.
  • To talk about a common occurrence in the past with the simple past: as,
If we worked overtime, we took Monday off.
If she came home late, he got annoyed.
  • To make a request with would: as,
I would be grateful if you would reply soon.
It would save my life if you would give him a lift there.

Other ways of Expressing Conditions:
a) With expression such/as ‘I wish’, ‘I’d rather’ etc
  • I wish you were in my position ( = you aren’t in my position)
  • I wish you had been in my position ( = you weren’t in my position)
  • I would rather you went home now. (a polite suggestion)
  • I would rather he hadn’t come (but he came)
b) As if:
  • You talk as if you owned the whole country.
c) Suppose/Supposing
  • Suppose I find out?
  • Suppose they refuse to help?
d) In case:
  • Do this in case a fire breaks out.


EXERCISES

1. If you (call) me, I (give) you the address.


2. If I (own) a car, I (drive) to work. But I don't own a car.


3. If she (have) time, she (go) to the party, but she had this project to finish for today and she didn't go


4. Mary (get) the job and moved to Japan if she (study) Japanese in school instead of French.


5. If (there is) nothing on TV, I (read) a book.


6. I (read) more as a child if I (not watch)so much TV. Unfortunately, I did watch a lot of TV, so I never read for entertainment.


7. A: What you do if you (win) the lottery?


B: I (buy) a house.


8. If I (have) more time, I (do) exercise after work.


9. If I (go) to my friend's house for dinner tonight, I (take) a bottle of wine or some flowers.
