What I Need to Know
This module explains concepts on a grammar topic, CONDITIONALS. This topic
focuses on the
first two types of conditionals
zero conditional and first
conditional.
Conditionals are described as the result of something that might happen (in
the present or future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past). They are
made using different English verb tenses.
Furthermore, this lesson helps students improve their communication sk ills
especially in the accuracy of the use of conditionals in expressing arguments.
Essential learning competency:

1. Distinguish first two types of conditionals;
2. Use correct types of conditionals in expressing an argument;
3. Make an argumentative essay on a particular topic or issue using
zero and first conditionals.

What’s In
In the previous module, you learn about modals. Here is a quick exercise of the
lesson you learned last week.
ACTIVITY 2:
A. Use modals of obligation must, have to, should, and ought to correctly in
the followings sentences. Use a separate sheet of paper for your answer.
1. Children ________ obey their parents.
2. Parents ________ respect their children, too.
3. Challenges _________ not keep us from achieving our dreams.
4. Before one talks about an issue, he/she _______ read about it first.
5. The school as a second home, __________ constantly nurture and protect the
rights of children.
B. Use
proper modals of permission and prohibition to the following
sentences.
1. ________ I stay with the group?
2. You _______ park here, Sir. The parking lot is full.
3. You ________ shorts but you _______ wear jeans in the pool.
What’s New
ACTIVITY 3:
What will you do in the following situations? Complete the statements below.
1. What will you do if you pass a difficult exam?
If I pass the exam, _______________________________.
2. What will you do if you meet your favorite Korean actor?
If I meet my favorite Korean actor, _____________________________.
Notice that the answers to the questions above start with the conjunction ‘if’. ‘If’
introduces a clause of the statement, followed by the main clause.
Example: If I meet my favorite Korean actor, I will take a picture with
him.
(Credits to the rightful owner of the photo)
If I meet my favourite Korean actor (if-clause)
I will take a picture with him (main clause)
Note that there are two clauses in the conditional sentence explained above.
What Is It
There
are
several
call conditionals or if conditionals.
The
structures
word
in
"condition"
English
means
that
we
"situation
or
circumstance". If a particular condition is true, then a particular result happens.
Illustration below shows the sentence construction of conditional sentences.
A conditional sentence has an if-clause which explains the condition and the main
clause which states the result. In Merriam Webster dictionary, a condition is a
premise upon which the fulfillment of an agreement depends. And a result is
something that results as a consequence, issue, or conclusion.
Picture Source: https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verbs -conditional.htm
There are instances when the main clause comes first before the if-clause.
Either way, the sentence is still correct.
For example : ‘If the session ends early, I go home’ is the same in saying
‘I go home if the session ends early’.
What’s More
There
are
four
types
of
conditional
sentences.
These
are
ZERO
CONDITIONALS, FIRST CONDITIONAL, SECOND CONDITIONALS AND THIRD
CONDITIONALS. This module tackles only the first two types .
Illustration
below
shows
the
first
two
types
of
conditional:
ZERO
CONDITIONAL and FIRST CONDITIONAL.

ZERO CONDITIONALS
We can use zero conditionals to show or express a general truth or a
routine. To do this, we use the present simple in both clauses. (See the verbs ‘is’
and ‘freezes’ on the table above. These are in present simple .)
Moreover, a general truth is facts that are always true or events that always
happen. In Thesaurus.com, synonyms for general truth include universal truth or
obvious truth. A routine, on the other hand, is a habitual activity. In Merriam
dictionary, a routine is a regular course of procedure.
FIRST CONDITIONALS
The first conditional is the possible conditional. It is used to talk about
possible future events and their likely results. If this event happens or if this
condition exists, this will likely happen. To do this, we use the simple present in
the if clause and simple future in the main clause. (See the verbs ‘rains’ and ‘will
not go’ in the example above. These are in present simple and
future simple
tenses, respectively.
See table below for the verb forms of each conditional in its if-clause and main
clause.
CONDITIONAL
IF CLAUSE
MAIN CLAUSE
ZERO
PRESENT SIMPLE
PRESENT SIMPLE
FIRST
PRESENT SIMPLE
FUTURE SIMPLE (will +
base of the verb)
This table shows the distinction of the use of tenses in zero and first
conditional.
For zero conditional, the if-clause or also called subordinate clause is in the
present simple tense and its main clause is also in the present simple tense. Note
that the simple present tense is in base form or –s form of the verb.
However, for the first conditional, the if-clause or the subordinate clause is
simple present tense and the main clause is in simple future tense, that is will+ the
base form of the verb.
As an addendum to this explanation, the list of the forms of the verbs used
in both zero conditional and first conditional is not exclusive. That means other
forms of the verbs like imperatives, perfect tense s and modals could also be used.
ACTIVITY 4:
Underline once the verb in the if clause , and twice for the verb in the main
clause. Then distinguish whether the sentence is stated in zero conditional or first
conditional. Use separate sheet for your answer.
Example:
There will be water shortage, if we keep on wasting it. FIRST CONDITIONAL
1. People will get hungry, if they do not eat. _______________
2. My parents get angry with me if I arrive home late. _______________
3. If you touch the fire, you burn yourself. ________________
4. If you study Chinese language, you will learn Mandarin. _____________
5. She will give a party, if she passes the test. _________________
ACTIVITY 5:
Match the first column with the correct answers in the second column.
A
B.
1. Zero conditional
a. shows possible condition and probable result
2. First conditional
b. shows real condition and inevitable result
