[Virtual Presenter] "Welcome everyone. Today's meeting will center on an essential aspect of the English language conditional structures. We will discuss utilizing these structures for various objectives in our language. Let's begin with our initial slide titled "Unit 5 conditional structures".".
[Audio] Imagine a world where everything was always predictable. Where every action had an exact, predetermined outcome. Life would be monotonous and boring. But luckily, that's not the case. We live in a world full of possibilities and uncertainties. And to navigate through it, we use conditional structures. In this unit, we will explore three types of conditional structures: zero, first, and second conditional. These structures allow us to talk about situations that may or may not happen, depending on certain conditions being met. The zero conditional is used to talk about situations that are always true. For example, "If you heat ice, it melts." The first conditional is used to talk about future possibilities that are likely to happen. For example, "If it rains, we will cancel the picnic." And the second conditional is used to talk about hypothetical situations that are unlikely to happen. For example, "If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house." By learning and understanding these conditional structures, we can better express our ideas and thoughts in a clear and concise way. So let's dive in and discover the power of conditional structures in communication..
[Audio] Welcome to Unit 5 of our presentation on conditional structures. In this section, we will be discussing when and how to use them in English grammar. So let's dive right in and take a look at the different types of conditional sentences. First, we have the zero conditional, which is used to talk about facts or things that are always true. For example, if you rest a lot, you have more energy. The if-clause states the condition and the main clause provides the result. Next, we have the first conditional, which is used to talk about things that are possible or probable in the future. For instance, if she drives to the centre, she’ll have to pay for parking. Here, the if-clause presents a possible scenario and the main clause predicts the outcome. Lastly, we have the second conditional, which is used to talk about hypothetical situations in the present. This includes things that are unlikely or impossible now or in the future. For example, if Tina studied more, she wouldn’t fail her tests. In this case, the if-clause presents a hypothetical situation and the main clause shows the result. In summary, conditional structures are used to discuss different types of situations and outcomes in English. We hope this explanation has helped you understand when and how to use these structures correctly. This is slide number 3 out of 7 in our presentation on Unit 5 – conditional structures..
[Audio] In this presentation on Unit 5 – conditional structures, we will be discussing the different types and uses of conditional statements in the English language. The table on this slide shows three types of conditionals zero, first, and second. The first row explains the zero conditional, used for stating facts or things that are always true. For example, if you rest a lot, you have more energy. The second row covers the first conditional, used for talking about possible or probable future events. For instance, if she drives to the centre, she’ll have to pay for parking. Finally, the third row discusses the second conditional, used for unlikely or impossible situations now or in the future. For example, if Tina studied more, she wouldn’t fail her tests. However, please note that this is a hypothetical situation as Tina does not study more in reality. Thank you for your attention, and let's move on to the next slide to learn more about conditional structures..
[Audio] Welcome to unit 5 of our presentation on conditional structures. In this unit, we will be discussing how to form sentences using conditional structures. As seen on this slide, there is a table that displays the various types of conditionals and their purposes. Let's carefully examine the table and pair each structure with a sample sentence. The first type is the zero conditional, which is utilized to speak about facts or things that are always true. For example, "If you rest a lot, you have more energy." Moving on to the first conditional, this is used to discuss things that are possible or probable in the future. For instance, "If she drives to the centre, she'll have to pay for parking." Lastly, the second conditional is used for discussing things that are unlikely or impossible in the present or future. An example of this would be, "If Tina studied more, she wouldn't fail her tests." As shown, the format for this type of conditional is if plus past simple, plus would plus infinitive. This concludes our discussion on conditional structures. Let's move on to the next slide to delve deeper into this topic..
[Audio] Welcome to Unit 5 of our English language course where we will be discussing conditional structures. In this unit, we will be focusing on the different types of conditional sentences and when to use them. Let's take a look at slide 6. In the previous slides, we have discussed the first and second type of conditional sentences. Now, let's focus on the zero conditional structure. This structure is used to talk about facts or things that are always true. As you can see on the table, it follows the pattern of 'if plus present, plus present'. The result clause can also come before the hypothetical clause in this structure, but without the use of a comma. Moving on to the first conditional structure, which is used to talk about things that are possible or probable in the future. It follows the pattern of 'if plus present, plus will plus infinitive'. Lastly, we have the second conditional structure, which is used to talk about things that are unlikely or impossible now or in the future. It follows the pattern of 'if plus past simple, plus would plus infinitive'. Understanding conditional structures is crucial in order to effectively communicate in English. Please refer to our previous slides for more examples and practice exercises. I hope you now have a better understanding of conditional structures..
