CONDITIONAL

Los condicionales se emplean para especular acerca de lo que podría ocurrir, lo que puede haber ocurrido y lo
que desearíamos que ocurriese.
En inglés, la mayoría de las oraciones que emplean el tiempo verbal condicional contienen el término "if".
Muchas de las construcciones condicionales del inglés se utilizan en oraciones que incluyen verbos en pasado.
Hay cinco formas principales de construir oraciones condicionales en inglés.
En todos los casos, se componen de una proposición o cláusula con "if" y una proposición principal.

CONDICIONAL TIPO CERO

El "zero conditional" se utiliza cuando el tiempo al que nos referimos es ahora o siempre y la situación es real y
posible.
Este tipo de condicional suele emplearse para hablar de hechos generales.
El tiempo verbal de ambas proposiciones es el "simple present".
En las oraciones condicionales de tipo 0, el término "if" puede normalmente sustituirse por "when" sin que
cambie el significado.
En las oraciones condicionales de tipo 0 ("zero conditional"), el tiempo verbal en ambas proposiciones es el
"simple present".

Proposición "if" (condición) Proposición principal (resultado)

"If" + "simple present" "simple present"

If this thing happens that thing happens.

LA ESTRUCTURA DEL ZERO CONDITIONAL

Los condicionales son oraciones compuestas por dos frases. El zero conditional tiene la siguiente estructura:

If + sujeto + present simple, sujeto + present simple

El orden de las dos frases que componen la estructura del condicional se puede cambiar. Si empezamos por la
condición (If), las separaremos con una coma. Si empezamos con la frase que expresa el resultado, no hace falta
poner la coma
If water reaches 100ºC, it boils. (Si el agua llega a 100ºC, hierve.)

Water boils if it reaches 100ºC. (El agua hierve si llega a los 100ºC.)

¿CÓMO SE UTILIZA EL ZERO CONDITIONAL?

El zero conditional se utiliza para expresar hechos que siempre son verdaderos como, por ejemplo, hechos
científicos, leyes científicas, verdades generales, etc.

You get orange if you mix red and yellow.

Obtienes naranja si mezclas rojo y amarillo.

Si mezclas rojo y amarillo, el resultado siempre será el mismo.
Por lo tanto, este hecho es una verdad general.

Además de hechos verdaderos, el zero conditional también se

puede utilizar para dar instrucciones. En este caso utilizaremos
un imperativo para expresar la instrucción o advertencia.
If you feel sick, go to the doctor.

Si te encuentras mal, ve al médico.

Solo en este condicional podemos sustituir if por when sin alterar el sentido de la frase.

If you heat ice, it melts. When you heat ice, it melts.

Si calientas hielo, se derrite. Cuando calientas hielo, se derrite.

El zero conditional es un tipo de condicional que se utiliza para expresar una relación de
causa-efecto en hechos que siempre son verdaderos (hechos científicos, hechos particulares,
etc.) o para dar instrucciones.

FIRST CONDITIONAL (PRIMER CONDICIONAL O CONDICIONAL DEL FUTURO)

El primer condicional es uno de los tipos de frases condicionales en inglés. Éstas se forman a partir de dos
cláusulas: la independiente (main clause) y la dependiente (dependent o if clause). Como su nombre lo indica,
las frases condicionales sirven para expresar una condición.

¿CUÁNDO UTILIZAR FIRST CONDITIONAL? 

El primer condicional, o condicional del futuro, se refiere, como su nombre indica, a condiciones y
circunstancias que se pueden cumplir en un futuro:
If you keep reading, you’ll see

Este condicional se usa únicamente para expresar una consecuencia probable, algo que es muy posible que
ocurra si se da una condición. Por lo tanto, tomamos en cuenta tanto el presente simple como la forma futura
con will/may/can + verbo en infinitivo simple. A partir de un hecho actual, hay una consecuencia muy probable
en el futuro. 

¿CÓMO SE FORMA FIRST CONDITIONAL?

El primer condicional tiene la siguiente estructura:

If + sujeto + presente simple + sujeto + will + verbo en infinitivo (sin to)

En la parte del condicional que contiene if nunca metemos will. No obstante, se puede alterar el orden sin que
tenga que empezar la oración siempre por la parte de if. También se puede decir así:

Sujeto + will + verbo en infinitivo (sin to) + if + sujeto + presente simple

Aunque en español a veces te pegue más usar el presente simple, acuérdate de que en inglés el futuro es
absolutamente necesario: 
If you listen to me carefully, I’ll tell you all about it  (Si me escuchas con atención, te lo cuento).

They’ll let us in if we wear a tie. (Nos dejarán entrar si llevamos corbata.)

You won’t know what it tastes like if you don’t try it. (No sabrás a qué sabe si no lo pruebas.)
If I don’t try, they’ll think I’m a chicken. (Si no lo intento, creerán que soy una gallina.)
Will they stay longer if we aren’t there? (¿Se quedarán más tiempo si no estamos allí?)bv

Will she fall asleep if we leave? (¿Se quedará dormida si nos vamos?)
