Conditionals!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A) Zero conditional:

If + present simple+ comma + present simple
Example: If I don`t wake up at 7 o`clock, I am late for my calsses.

Present simple + if + present simple
Example: I am late for my calsses if I don`t wake up at 7 o`clock

B) First Conditional:

If + present simple + comma + will /won`t
Example:If I see my brother, I`ll speak with him

Will + if + present simple
Example:I`ll speak with him If I see my brother

*Sometimes, we use shall, can, or may instead of will, for example: If you are good today, you can watch TV tonight.

C) Second conditional:

If + past simple + comma + would
Expample: If I won the lottery, I would buy a house for my parents

Would + if + past simple
Example: I would buy a house for my parents If I won the lottery

*Sometimes, we use should, could or might instead of would, for example: If I won a million dollars, I could stop working.

D) Third Conditional:

If + Past perfect + comma + would have + past participle
Example: If she had seen her boyfriend, she would has spoken to him

Would have + past participle + if + Past perfect
Expample: she would has spoken to him If she had seen her boyfriend
