Class 25-1: Conditionals

26-1“If I were younger, I would dance all night.”

Definition:

Conditionals are sentences that discuss real and unreal situations. They are saying that you think an action will happen if another action happens. They also suggest ideas about a topic.

There are two kinds of conditional sentences: real and unreal.

Real conditional sentences describe real-life situations. (Examples 1 and 2)

Unreal conditional sentences describe unreal, imaginary situations. (Examples 3 and 4)

Examples:

1. If the weather is too hot, we will not go to the beach. (real, not imaginary)

2. My mom always cooked when I was younger. (real, not imaginary)

3. If I could fly, I would go to California. (unreal, imaginary)

4. If I had I million dollars, I would buy my own island. (unreal, imaginary)
