CONDITIONALS

In this unit we are going to study the different conditional sentences.
As we have seen in class, there are 4 main types of conditional sentences:

ZERO CONDITIONAL (universal truths):

IF+Present simple, Present simple

If you heat water to 100ºC, it boils.🍵
(Si calientas agua a 100ºC, hierve).

FIRST CONDITIONAL (probable situations):

IF+ Present simple, WILL

If you study, you will pass the exam.📖👌
(Si estudias, aprobarás el examen).

SECOND CONDITIONAL (Hypothetical situations):

IF+ Past simple, WOULD+infinitive

If I won the lottery, I would buy a mansion.💲💰
(Si ganara la lotería, me compraría una mansión).


THIRD CONDITIONAL (impossible situations/regrets)

If + past perfect (had+participle), WOULD HAVE+ participle

If I had known Brad Pitt was in Madrid, I would have gone to see him.👨📷

(Si hubiera sabido que Brad Pitt estaba en Madrid, habría ido a verle).

Their use and their structure (specially with ZERO and FIRST conditional) is the same in Spanish,
so you shouldn't have problems with that).
