Dear all,

here are many possible variations of the standard conditionals. You should pay attention to the functions and practice the structures of the five standard conditionals. Students often have difficulty choosing the correct conditional for their idea (focus on function), and often make mistakes with the structure. 

Zero Conditional

Time: General

Function: Habits, tendencies, rules, and scientific facts.

Structure: When + Present Simple, Present Simple.

Example: When he is stressed, he exercises.

First Conditional

Time: Future

Function: Probable future, predictions, promises, threats, and offers.

Structure: If + Present Simple, will/ modal + verb

Example: If Sally is hungry later, she will eat something.

Second Conditional

Time: Hypothetical future, abstract

Function: Fantasy, improbable future, hypothesis, and negotiations.

Structure: If + Past Simple, would/ modal + verb

Example: If I was rich, I would travel around the world.

Third Conditional

Time: Hypothetical past

Function: Regrets, comments about past situations.

Structure: If + Past Perfect, would/ modal + have + past participle.

Example: If I had not studied English, I would have studied Arabic.

Mixed Conditional

Time: Past (condition) and present (consequence).

Function: Regrets, comments about past situations that have present consequences.

Structure: If + Past Perfect, would/ modal + verb

Example: If I had studied Arabic at school, I could speak Arabic now.

Please do the following exercises in your workbooks:

exercise 5.3 Rearranging the words to make excuses in the third conditionl (page 73, Unit 11)
