GRAMMAR

Zero, First and Second conditionals with if

With all conditional sentences:

One thing must happen (condition) before the second can happen(result).

There are two clauses (parts): the if clause tells you the conditionand the other part tells you the result.

Either clause can be first. We use a comma when the ifclause isfirst.

There can be a mix of positive and negative verbs in the twoclauses.

We use the Zero Conditional (if condition and result: Present Simple)to talk about conditions which are always true:

She always takesher dog to the beach if itssunny.

Dodogs barkif they arefrightened?

We use the First Conditional(if condition: Present Simpleresult:will +infinitive) to talk about conditions that are possible or likely tohappen:

Ifwe leave the dog alone all day, it willdestroythe furniture.

Ifwebuy you a cat, will youlook after it?

We use the Second Conditional (ifcondition: Past Simpleresult:would+ infinitive) for unlikely or impossible situations in the presentor future:

Id besurprised ifmy parents boughtme a pet. They both hateanimals.

If youwent on a safari, wherewould yougo?

Note If he were my son, Id send him to college. = If he was myson, Id send him to college.but its more formal. However, when thefunction is to give advice, we normally use the fixed phrase, If I wereyou, Id

Other conditional clauses

As soon asor whenboth mean at that time. We use them for

conditions that are definitely going to happen: As soon ashearrives, well have dinner. Well have dinner whenhe arrives.

As long as and provided thatboth mean if the condition is agreedor met. We use them to stress the condition on which somethinghappens:As long asyou need me, Ill stay here.You can get a dog provided (that)it sleeps in the kitchen.

Unlessis used instead of if + a negative statement. It means if thecondition doesnt happen or isnt met:Unlessyou turn off the light, the baby wont sleep.

Mind the trap!

The First Conditional ifclause is about the future, but wealways use the Present Simple, not will.

If we goaway NOT If we will go away

Verb patterns

When we use two verbs together, the first verb is in theappropriate tense, the second verb doesnt change.

Present Simple: We liketo cook.

Past Simple: We likedto cook.

In addition, the first verb often decides the form of the secondone. The examples below show examples of different verbpatterns.

Verb + -ing

admit, avoid, cant stand, dont mind, enjoy, fancy,hate, imagine, keep, miss, practise, stop

doing

Verb + preposition/phrasal verb + -ing

apologise for, dream about, feel like, give up, lookforward to, think about

cooking

to be + adjective + preposition + -ing

bebad at, bored by, famous for, good at,interested in, proud of, sorry for, tired of

arguing

Verb + to+ infinitive

agree, allow, choose, decide, expect,

hope, learn, manage, need, offer, promise,refuse, seem, want, would like, manage

to make(something)

Verb + object + to+ infinitive

allow him, ask her, help me, persuade them, tell us to leave

Verb + object + infinitive (without to)

help her, let us, make them cook

Modals + infinitive (without to)

can, might, must, should, will happen

Longer sentence patterns

Adverb + -ingverb

After eating such a big meal, I felt tired.

Before eating wash your hands.

By eating good food youll feel healthier.

Instead of eating at home, lets go to a restaurant.

When eating in a Chinese restaurant, you share thedishes.

Without eating it I cant tell you what it tastes like.

Mind the trap!Some verbs can be used with more thanone verb pattern and the meaning does notchange:

She prefers eating convenience food. =She prefers to eat convenience food.

However, with a few verbs such as stopand remember, a different verb patternchanges the meaning:

He remembered taking her photograph.(He had a memory of doing this.)

He remembered to take her photograph.(He didnt forget to take her photograph.)

I stopped reading the leaflet. (I lookedaway from the leaflet.)

I stopped to read the leaflet. (I stoppedwhat I was doing and read the leaflet.)

NEW MESSAGE

Dear Sir/Madam,

A I am writing to complain about the laptop computer which I bought through your online shop

shop.comps4all.com and about your customer service.

B I ordered the computer on July 15thand my credit card was charged immediately but

the computer did not arrive until August 17th, more than a month later, although your website

guarantees delivery within one week. When the computer arrived the box had a hole in it, the

keyboard was scratched and the power cable was missing. I immediately phoned your helpline and

was told that I would have to pay for sending the computer back if I wanted a refund.

C I am not satisfied with this service. I do not feel that it is acceptable that I have to pay for the

postage because it is clearly your fault that the computer arrived in this state. I suggest that in

future you package your goods more carefully before you send them, and that you make sure you

keep your promises about delivering orders quickly.

D I would like either a replacement computer or a full refund as soon as possible, and I expect

you to pay for the courier to return the damaged computer.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Jenny Park

was very salty and it was served with 2 bread
