2D STUDENTS EXPLANATIONS ON CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Dear 2D students,
In Unit 6 you have to learn a bit about Conditional sentences, this is not an easy topic because this type of sentences include the use of Present Simple, the future with will, Past Simple and the use of would. So I have prepared these summaries for you to review this grammar aspects;

PLEASE SWITCH ON YOUR BRAINS AND READ, I SUGGEST THAT YOU INCLUDE THIS OUTLINE IN UNIT 6 GRAMMAR SUMMARY

The First Conditional:

(if + present simple, ... will + infinitive)

If it rains tomorrow, we'll go to the cinema.

The Second Conditional:

(if + past simple, ... would + infinitive)

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.

So it is very important that you review the grammar and rules for the Present Simple and Past Simple that we have studied in previous units. AGAIN READ CAREFULLY
