First
conditional
The first conditional is the conditional
that is used to talk about a possible condition and a probable result. In other
words, we propose situations that will most likely come true in the future.
Uses of the first conditional
The first conditional is used to talk about
plans that the subject has. Imagine that you want to plan a vacation, but for
it to come true, certain conditions must be met.
Examples
•If we leave now, we will get there before midnight.
•If you go to Paris, you must visit the Eiffel Tower.
•If we are not at home when you arrive, please call us.
Second conditional
It can be used for situations that the
speaker considers unlikely to happen in the future.
Uses of the second conditional
The main difference with the first conditional is that the actions that are expressed in the second conditional are usually more improbable. In this conditional we can refer to a time that can be now or any time, and to a situation that is not real.
Examples
•If I won the lottery, I would buy the house of my dreams.
•If we didn’t have to go to school, we could go to the match.
•If you lived in town, we could see each other every day.
Third conditional
Is the conditional that is used to talk
about past situations and how they could have been different depending on
whether or not the condition was met.
Uses for the third conditional
Express regret: What would have happened if…? On many occasions we wish things had been differently and we need to express our regret. The third conditional comes to our aid.
Examples
•If we had paid more attention, we would have heard the explanation.
•If the weather hadn’t been so horrible, we would have gone for a walk in the forest
•If the pandemic hadn’t broken out, I could have traveled around the world.
