Conditional

Zero Conditional: We can use zero conditional with the structure:

If + Present Simple + Present Simple
Exampe: If you feel tired, you rest for some minutes

The same idea by reversing:

Present Simple + If + Present Simple.
Examples: / I'm sad if you leave.

First Conditional: We can use First Conditional with the structure:

If + Present Simple + Will/Won't
Example: If you sing this song, I'll feel better.

The same idea by reversing:

Will/Won't + If + Present Simple".
Example: My heart will cry if you travel away.

Second Conditional: We can use Second conditional with the structure:

If + Past Simple + Would

If I had money in my cellphone, I would call you.


The same idea by reversing:

Would + If + Past Continuous

Example: I'd like to be in Iquique if I weren't studyng in Chillan.


Third Conditional: We can use Third Conditional with the structure:

If + Past Perfect + Would have
Example: If I had done my bed, I wouldn't have slept well.

The same idea by reversing:

Would have + If + Past Perfect.
Example: You would have a beatiful house if you had been a good worker.
