use:
Note that we are not talking about a specific event but something which
is generally true.
Unless he asks you politely, refuse to do any more work on the project.
Unless prices are rising, it's not a good investment.
Unless you've been there yourself, you don't really understand how fantastic it

Uso
Se usa este tipo de condicional cuando la condicin y el resultado siempre es
verdad, como por ejemplo los hechos cientificos:
- If you heat water to 100C, It boils // Water boils if you heat it to 100 C (Si
calientas agua hasta los cien grados, hierve).
- If I dont pratice the piano everyday I play poorly (Si no practico piano todos
los das, tocar mal)
- Does you mom get mad If you dont call her? (Se enfada tu madre si no la
llamas?)
Ojo! Podemos cambiar el orden de las frases sin cambiar el significado.
Tambin, en general, con este tipo de condicional, podemos sustituir If por
when sin alterar el significado de la frase.
Estructura:
IF + Oracin en presente + Oracin en presente

The first conditional (or 1st Conditional) is for future actions dependent on
the result of another future action or event, where there is a reasonable
possibility of the conditions for the action being satisfied.
eg: If he gets here soon, I'll speak to him about it. (The speaker believes that
there is a reasonable or good chance of seeing him.)
Formation:
If + Present Simple, + Will

about possible or imaginary situations
Form
If + present + will + verb
Meaning
1. We use first conditional to talk about actions or events in the future which are likely to happen or
have a real possibility of happening.
If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay at home.
I think there is a real possibility of rain tomorrow. In this condition, I will stay at home
If my father doesn't buy me a bike for my birthday, I will be very unhappy.
I think there is a real possibility that my father won't buy me a bike. In this condition, I will be
unhappy
Additional points
1. We can use other modal verbs in place of will.
If it's sunny tomorrow, I might go to the beach.
Going to the beach is only a possibility
If you come early, you can meet my mother.
It is possible for you to meet my mother
I definitely try to make fun of it, because I think the first conditional is easy to comprehend (it is
very similar to the first conditional in their mother tongue), so that they aren't bored.

1. First I start asking my students what they would like to do. They usually suggest watching a
video, learning a new song, playing games, listening to stories, etc.
2. I write their suggestions on the board.
3. Then I mention the conditions in order to get what they have suggested.
4. The sentences written on the board have different colours. I use green for the word "IF", red
for the modal verbs "WILL" or "CAN" and blue for the verbs. They immediately notice I am
teaching a new structure.
5. Later I ask them to tell the conditions their parents establish at home, like what will your
mother do if you behave well?
6. In pairs they talk about it.
7. I help them mention different things their parents have told them about good habits; like what
happens if you eat vegetables... brush your teeth... don't smoke... go to bed early, etc.

Note that after I / he/ she /it we often use the subjunctive form 'were' and not 'was'. (Some
people think that 'were' is the only 'correct' form but other people think 'was' is equally
'correct' .)
If she were happy in her job, she wouldn't be looking for another one.

Note the form 'If I were you' which is often used to give advice.
Note that the choice between the first and the second conditional is often a question of the
speaker's attitude rather than of facts. Compare these examples. Otto thinks these things
are possible, Peter doesn't.
Note that the 'If clause' can contain the past simple or the past continuous.
Note that the main clause can contain 'would' 'could' or 'might.
Also note that sometimes the 'if clause' is implied rather than spoken.
SECOND CONDITIONAL
Muchas veces explico a mis alumnos que deberamos usar este tipo de
frases condicionales cuando estamos imaginando cosas que no son reales.
Les podemos dar la vuelta a las dos partes quitando la coma ( como en
todas las condicionales).
Ms ejemplos:
If she ate some meat, she would be healthier (but she is vegetarian).
Si comiera carne, estara mas saludable (pero es vegetariana).
En esta ltima frase podemos encontrar algo especial: primero un "I" con
un "were" (es una excepcin y se usa para decir "si yo fuera") se usa
mucho para dar consejos " si fuera t....". Y segundo el would apostrofado
" 'd" que lgicamente se usa ms de forma oral.

* En este caso indicamos algo improbable, ya que es una situacin que rara vez
ocurre.
Sin embargo, tambin podemos utilizar 'unless' seguido del verbo en afirmativa,
manteniendo el mismo significado.
* Recuerda que 'unless' significa 'a menos que' o 'si no', por lo que ya indica un
significado negativo.
QU DEBO RECORDAR?
WAS/WERE: Debemos recordar que cuando usamos el verbo 'to be' podemos
utilizar la forma 'were' (en lugar de 'was') para todas las personas.
ORDEN: Recuerda que estas dos frases pueden intercambiarse el orden, es decir,
que podemos tambin encontrar la 'main-clause' primero y luego la 'if-clause'.
*1 Cuando la 'if-clause' est delante separamos las frases con una coma,
de lo contrario no es necesario.

Second Conditional:
unreal possibility or
dream
The second conditional is like the first conditional. We
are still thinking about the future. We are thinking about
a particular condition in the future, and the result of this
condition. But there is not a real possibility that this
condition will happen. For example, you do not have a
lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! No lottery ticket,
no win! But maybe you will buy a lottery ticket in the
future. So you can think about winning in the future, like
a dream. It's not very real, but it's still possible.
