‫Here is your second lesson in grammar for elite speaking in this lesson, we're going to learn how to
‫use conditionals to talk about the future.
‫So what exactly are conditionals?
‫Well, in the English language, there are a few ways that we can talk about the future.
‫Here is an example of one of those ways.
‫Tomorrow I will go to the park.
‫Now this is using the future simple tents.
‫So let's take a look at an example of a conditional structure.
‫If it is Sunni tomorrow, I will go to the park.
‫You can see I've underlined the word if as this is a key word in a conditional sentence, we are saying
‫that if it is Sunni, you will go to the park, which also implies that if it is not Sunni, you won't
‫go.
‫So here we have highlighted that magical word.
‫If and all three types of conditionals, use this magic word.
‫As I showed you in the previous grammar lesson, it's important to use a range of structures in your
‫child's speaking answers and conditionals are another way you can show the examiners that you have confidence
‫in English speaking.
‫So let's take a look at what the conditionals are.
‫We have the first conditional and on the right, we have a condition and result.
‫So here is an example.
‫If it rained, which is the condition, I will get wet, which is the result of it raining.
‫We form a first conditional by using the present simple plus will or won't.
‫And a first conditional is for a possible situation in the future, something that could happen.
‫Let's take a look at the second conditional.
‫Here is an example if I was the president, I would make ice cream free.
‫It's formed with F plus the past simple plus would could or should.
‫And the second conditional is an unlikely situation in the future or something that probably won't happen.
‫Now we'll move on to the third conditional.
‫And here is an example if you had won the race, you would have gotten a trophy.
‫Now, the third conditional is most like Philly, the most difficult conditional to form, and we make
‫it using F plus the past perfect.
‫Plus, Woods could or should have pulled us past participle, which in the example is gotten.
‫The third conditional is used to discuss a different past and a possible resulting future.
‫It's almost like discussing an alternate dimension or an alternate version of your life.
‫Let's take a look at some more examples for each of the three conditionals.
‫And first up is the first conditional, which is used to discuss a possible or likely situation that
‫could happen in the future.
‫We make it with if follows, the present simple plus will or won't.
‫If it rains tomorrow, I will get wet.
‫If the boss is on time, I won't be late for work.
‫If the shop has a sale, I will buy some shoes.
‫Let's take a look at the second Conditional, which is used to discuss an unlikely situation that probably
‫won't happen in the future.
‫We make it with if plus the past simple plus would, could or should.
‫And here is some examples.
‫If I was faster, I would have won that race.
‫If you could skillfully, I would eat your food if we were rich.
‫We could retire and buy a villa.
‫So that's all for second conditional examples.
‫Let's take a look at the more difficult of the three, which is the third conditional.
‫And again, this is used to discuss a different path and possible resulting future.
‫As I said before, it's almost like discussing a different version of your life.
‫We make it with if plus the past perfect plus would, could, should have.
‫And the past participle.
‫And here are some examples of the third conditional.
‫If I had seen my friend, I would have gone skateboarding.
‫If we had a car, we could have travelled further.
‫If they have a torch, maybe we should buy one.
‫So there are three examples for the third conditional.
‫Let's go back to the overview to quickly review what we have learnt.
‫It may be worth green shotting on noting down this table and then practicing, writing and speaking
‫all three conditionals again, it's a really good way to show the Examiner that you understand how to
‫use a range of complex structures.
‫See you in the next lesson.
