Unit 2
Conditional Sentences (real and zero condition)
We use Zero Conditional Sentences to express something which is always true and in this case we can use instead of:
If (when) people see bats, they get scared because of bad association with vampires.
The structure is:
If + Subject + Present Simple, Subject + Present Simple.
The zero conditional is also often used to give instructions, using the imperative in the main clause :
If you want to come, call me beforehand.
We use the real conditionals when we talk about future situations we believe are real or possible:
If Luna’s parents allow, we’ll take the pup home.
The structure is:
If + Subject + Present Simple, Subject + Future Simple.
It is also common to use this structure with orinstead of
We’ll go to the boarding house again as soon as Chilly comes.
We put a comma after the if-clause when it comes first.
We’ll find a new place for the pup if Luna’s parents refuse to keep it with us.
If Luna’s parents refuse to keep it with us, we’ll find a new place for the pup.
