      Unit 2

      Conditional Sentences (real and zero condition)

      We use Zero Conditional Sentences to express something which is always true and in this case we can use when instead of if :

      If (when) people see bats, they get scared because of bad association with vampires.

      The structure is:

      If + Subject + Present Simple, Subject + Present Simple.

      The zero conditional is also often used to give instructions, using the imperative in the main clause :

      If you want to come, call me beforehand.

      We use the real conditionals when we talk about future situations we believe are real or possible:

      If Luna’s parents allow, we’ll take the pup home.

      The structure is:

      If + Subject + Present Simple, Subject + Future Simple.

      It is also common to use this structure with unless, as long as, as soon as, when or in case instead of if.

      We’ll go to the boarding house again as soon as Chilly comes.

      We put a comma after the if-clause when it comes first.

      We’ll find a new place for the pup if Luna’s parents refuse to keep it with us.

      If Luna’s parents refuse to keep it with us, we’ll find a new place for the pup.

      3 If my dad /refuse/, I /beg/ my mum to allow us to do it. She has a heart of gold.

      4 But if she /be/ scared of bats, she never /let/ you keep the pup home.

      For example,

      1 Kudjo and Luna would like to check if everything is fine with the pup. They are thinking of arranging a picnic in the country.

      3 Luna’s parents don’t mind going to the country but it depends on the weather.

      4 Luna’s mum has agreed to help the pup but the final decision depends on Luna’s dad.

      5 Kudjo wants to throw a party but all his friends might be busy this Sunday.
