Unit 8 Just Imagine!

1. Unit 8 Just Imagine!

2. The Main objectives of the Unit • Conditionals • Base and Strong adjectives.

3. Conditional Sentences Structure : A conditional sentence is composed of 2 parts : If-clause + Main Clause Example : If it rains tomorrow, we will not come. If-clause Main Clause

4. FIRST CONDITIONAL If+ Present Simple + will If the weather isnice, we will go for a walk. If you don’t apologize, she will never trustyou again. If clause: PRESENT SIMPLE Main clause:FUTURE SIMPLE 1- The first conditional refers to the present and future. It expresses a possible condition and its probable result in the future.

5. FIRST CONDITIONAL If+ Present Simple + will 2-we can use the first conditional to express different functions (all of which express a possible condition and a probable result). If you don’t stop the noise, I’ll phone the police! (a threat) Careful! If you touch that, you’ll burn yourself! ( a warning) I’ll post the letter if you like. (an offer) If you lend me $ 10, I'll pay you back tomorrow. ( a promise)

6. Exercise One. First Conditionals do not come • If you ___________________ (not come), • You ________________ (miss ) the show. will miss will buy • John __________________ (buy)a car if he • _____________ (get) a job. gets will get • Mary ________________(get) a toothache if • she_________________ (eat) too many sweets. eats

7. Time Clauses (When, as soon as, before, until, after) are not followed by will. 1- We use present tense but the meaning of the sentence is in the future. I will call you when I get home. As soon as dinner is ready, I will give you a call. Can I have a word with you before I go? Wait until I come back. 2- we also use present perfect to show that the action in the time clause is finished. When I have read the book, I will lend it to you. I will go home after I have done the shopping.

8. ZERO CONDITIONAL If you don’t water flowers, they die. If you have a headache, stop watching TV. If clause: PRESENT SIMPLE Main clause:PRESENT SIMPLE or IMPERATIVE With zero conditional we express a general truth or we give advice. Zero conditional sentences refer to all time not just the present or future.

9. SECOND CONDITIONAL Jack wants to buy a house but he can’t do this because he doesn’t have any money. If I had a lot of money, I would buy a big house.

10. SECOND CONDITIONAL Susan wants to phone Paul but she can’t do this because she doesn’t know his number. If I knew his number, I would phone him.

11. SECOND CONDITIONAL If+ Past Simple+ would. If I had a lot of money, I would buy a big house. If I knew his number, I would phone him. if-clause:PAST TENSE SIMPLE main clause:PRESENT CONDITIONALwould + infinitive 1- The second conditional refers to the present and future. It expresses an unreal situation and its probable result. The situation or condition is improbable, impossible, imaginary, or contrary to known facts.

12. SECOND CONDITIONAL 2- Other modal verbs are possible in the result clause: I could buy some new clothes if I had some money If I saved a little every week, I might be able to save up for a car 3- If I were you, I’d…..is used to give advice If I were you, I would apologize to her I would take it easy for a while if I were you.

13. FIRST v. SECOND CONDITIONAL If John runs fast, he will win the race. This is still possible to happen. If John ran fast, he would win the race. This is unlikely to happen because John doesn’t run fast. THE DIFFERENCE: FIRST and SECOND CONDITIONAL Both conditionals refer to the present and future. The difference is about probability, not time. First conditional: real and possible situations Second conditional: unlikely to happen
