Puedes leer la explicación más detenidamente en la siguiente sección. La condicional cero se utiliza para expresar hechos o situaciones que siempre se cumplen, es decir, para expresar verdades universales. Si llueve la carretera se moja. ¿PARA QUÉ SIRVE?  Utilizamos las condicionales para indicar una condición y un resultado y por lo tanto consiste en dos frases, la principal y la que indica la condición.  Este tipo de frases se utilizan para hablar de situaciones que siempre tienen lugar. ¿CÓMO SE FORMA? AFIRMATIVA: La condicional cero se forma con el Presente Simple en la 'if-clause' y en la 'main clause'. [IF... + PRESENT SIMPLE] + [PRESENT SIMPLE] Si llueve la carretera se moja.

If it rains, the road gets wet.

* En este caso indicamos algo que siempre ocurre, es decir, una verdad universal. También se puede utilizar junto a un imperativo. Si llueve no cojas el coche.

If it rains, don’t use the car. NEGATIVA: Para hacer una condicional negativa podemos estructuras diferentes. La primera sería negando los verbos normalmente.

utilizar dos

Si no llueve la carretera no se moja.

If it doesn't rain, the road doesn’t get wet. Sin embargo, también podemos utilizar 'unless' seguido del verbo en afirmativa, manteniendo el mismo significado. A menos que llueva, la carretera no se moja.

Unless it rains, the road doesn’t get wet.

¿QUÉ DEBO RECORDAR? ORDEN: Recuerda que estas dos frases pueden intercambiarse el orden, es decir, que podemos también encontrar la 'main-clause' primero y luego la 'if-clause'.

If it rains, the road gets wet. The road gets wet if it rains. *1 Cuando la 'if-clause' está delante separamos las frases con una coma, de lo contrario no es necesario. PASADO: Esta estructura también se puede utilizar en pasado para indicar situaciones que siempre tenían lugar en el pasado. Si yo iba al parque me compraba un helado.

If I went to the park I bought an ice-cream.

* En este caso indicamos algo que siempre sucedía en el pasado, por lo que podemos utilizar el pasado simple en ambas frases.

En el idioma inglés existe una construcción llamada Conditional 0 (Condicional 0en español) que se utiliza para expresar verdades generales o hechos científicos, es decir, hechos que son siempre verdaderos o situaciones que siempre van a ocurrir; también es usado para describir rutinas o hechos generales. Las construcciones gramaticales Conditional 0 empiezan con la palabra If, antes de una oración en presente simple o continuo que es una situación, seguida del sujeto sobre el que recae la condición y a éste le sigue otra oración en presente simple, que es la consecuencia que se da por la situación dada. 10 Ejemplos de Conditional 0: 1. If water is heated to 100°C, it boils. (Si se calienta al agua a 100 °C, ésta hierve). 2. If butter is heated, it melts. (Si se calienta la mantequilla, ésta se derrite). 3. If you born wood, it becomes coal. (Si se quema la madera, ésta se convierte en carbón). 4. If you flip a coin, it always fall to the ground. (Se avientas una moneda al aire, ésta caerá siempre al suelo). 5. If you add two plus two, the result is always four. (Si sumas dos más dos, el resultado siempre es cuatro). 6. If you combine the colors blue and yellow, the result is the green color. (Si se combinan los colores azul y amarillo, el resultado es el color verde). 7. If there is sunlight, then it is day. (Si hay luz de sol, entonces es de día). 8. If you freeze water, then you get ice. (Si congelas el agua, obtienes hielo). 9.

If I leave the house at 8:00 a.m., I will arrive at work early. (Si salgo a las 8:00 a.m. de la casa, llego temprano al trabajo).

10. If I finish my homework early, I can go out to play. (Si termino mi tarea temprano puedo salir a jugar).    

For 2 Let Like

When we talk about things that are generally or always true, we can use: If/When/Unless plus a present form PLUS present simple or imperative   

If he gets there before me, ask him to wait. When you fly budget airline, you have to pay for your drinks and snacks. Unless you need more space, a small car is big enough for one person.

Note that we are not talking about a specific event but something which is generally true. In the condition clause, we can use a variety of present forms. In the result clause, there can only be the present simple or imperative.      

If you visit London, go on the London Eye. If unemployment is rising, people tend to stay in their present jobs. If you've done that, go and have a coffee. When you go on holiday, take plenty of sun cream. It'll be very hot. When I'm concentrating, please don't make so much noise. When I've finished an article, I always ask Kate to read it through.

Notice that 'unless' means the same as 'if not'.   

Unless he asks you politely, refuse to do any more work on the project. Unless prices are rising, it's not a good investment. Unless you've been there yourself, you don't really understand how fantastic it is. 

Uso



Se usa este tipo de condicional cuando la condición y el resultado siempre es verdad, como por ejemplo los hechos cientificos:



- If you heat water to 100ºC, It boils // Water boils if you heat it to 100 ºC (Si calientas agua hasta los cien grados, hierve).



- If I don’t pratice the piano everyday I play poorly (Si no practico piano todos los días, tocaré mal)



- Does you mom get mad If you don’t call her? (¿Se enfada tu madre si no la llamas?)



Ojo! Podemos cambiar el orden de las frases sin cambiar el significado. También, en general, con este tipo de condicional, podemos sustituir ‘If’ por ‘when’ sin alterar el significado de la frase.

Estructura:



IF + Oración en presente + Oración en presente

Zero Conditional: certainty We use the so-called zero conditional when the result of the condition is always true, like a scientific fact. Take some ice. Put it in a saucepan. Heat the saucepan. What happens? The ice melts (it becomes water). You would be surprised if it did not. IF condition

result

present simple present simple If

you heat ice

it melts.

Notice that we are thinking about a result that is always true for this condition. The result of the condition is an absolute certainty. We are not thinking about the future or the past, or even the present. We are thinking about a simple fact. We use the present simple tense to talk about the condition. We also use the present simple tense to talk about the result. The important thing about the zero conditional is that the condition always has the same result.

We can also use when instead of if, for example: When I get up late I miss my bus. Look at some more examples in the tables below: IF condition

If

I miss the 8 o'clock bus I am late for work.

La primera condicional se utiliza para expresar una conexión fuerte entre la condición y el resultado. Para entender a qué hacemos referencia vamos a ver un ejemplo.

Si gano la lotería, me compraré una casa.

¿PARA QUÉ SIRVE? · Utilizamos las condicionales para indicar una condición y un resultado y por lo tanto consiste en dos frases, la principal y la que indica la condición. · Este tipo de oraciones indica lo que va a ocurrir si la condición tiene lugar en el presente o el futuro.

¿CÓMO SE FORMA? AFIRMATIVA: Las primera condicional se forma con el presente simple en la 'if-clause' (frase con 'if') y el futuro simple en la 'main clause' (frase principal). [IF... + PRESENT SIMPLE] + [WILL + VERBO PRINCIPAL] Si gano la lotería, me compraré una casa.

If I win the lottery, I will buy a house * En este caso indicamos algo probable, ya que indicamos qué haríamos en el caso de que la condición fuese real.

También se utiliza para dar instrucciones, utilizando el imperativo o los verbos modales en la frase principal.

If you want your present, go to your room. If you need a pencil, you can take mine.

NEGATIVA: Para hacer una condicional negativa podemos utilizar dos estructuras diferentes. La primera sería la siguiente negando los verbos normalmente. Si no gano la lotería, no me compraré una casa.

If I don’t win the lottery, I won't buy a house. * Como podemos ver en el ejemplo, simplemente negamos las frases. Recuerda que pueden estar las dos negadas o sólo una de ellas.

Sin embargo, también podemos utilizar 'unless' seguido del verbo en afirmativa, manteniendo el mismo significado. Si no gano la lotería, no me comparé una casa.

Unless I win the lottery, I won't buy a house. * Recuerda que 'unless' significa 'a menos que' o 'si no', por lo que ya indica un significado negativo.

¿QUÉ DEBO RECORDAR?

GRAMÁTICA: Es importante recordar cómo se forma el Present Simple (Presente Simple), ya que este tiempo se usa en la 'if-clause'. También es necesario recordar cómo se utiliza el modal 'will' para expresar futuro, su forma negativa y peculiaridades.

ESTRUCTURA: Cuando hablamos de oraciones condicionales debemos tener en cuenta que están formadas por dos frases. La 'if-clause' que es la frase que contiene la partícula 'if'. Esta frase indica la hipótesis o condición. 1

La 'main clause', es decir, la frase principal. Esta frase lo que indica es el resultado. 2

ORDEN: Recuerda que estas dos frases pueden intercambiarse el orden, es decir, que podemos también encontrar la 'main-clause' primero y luego la 'if-clause'.

If I win the lottery, I will buy a house. I will buy a house if I win the lottery. *1 Cuando la 'if-clause' está delante separamos las frases con una coma, de lo contrario no es necesario. *2 Recuerda, además, que podemos encontrar 'will' contraído.

The first conditional (or 1st Conditional) is for future actions dependent on the result of another future action or event, where there is a reasonable possibility of the conditions for the action being satisfied. eg: If he gets here soon, I'll speak to him about it. (The speaker believes that there is a reasonable or good chance of seeing him.)

Form If + present + will + verb

Meaning 1. We use first conditional to talk about actions or events in the future which are likely to happen or have a real possibility of happening. 

If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay at home. I think there is a real possibility of rain tomorrow. In this condition, I will stay at home



If my father doesn't buy me a bike for my birthday, I will be very unhappy. I think there is a real possibility that my father won't buy me a bike. In this condition, I will be unhappy

Additional points 1. We can use other modal verbs in place of will. 

If it's sunny tomorrow, I might go to the beach. Going to the beach is only a possibility



If you come early, you can meet my mother. It is possible for you to meet my mother

Ideas for teaching the first conditional How do you teach first conditional? Add your idea » 1. I usually give some examples of superstitions, e.g. If you break a mirror, you will... (they give the answer, since they already know Future Simple Tense). 2. Then I give some more oral examples for them to finish. 3. After that they make their own examples. 4. Now they write down an example or two. 5. In groups they try to figure out what goes with the IF clause, what with the main clause. They report back to the class. 6. In groups, they make new examples of "silly" superstitions. For homework, they write several sentences asking other students: What happens if you... (they finish). Other students give answers, and then they choose the silliest one. I definitely try to make fun of it, because I think the first conditional is easy to comprehend (it is very similar to the first conditional in their mother tongue), so that they aren't bored. Maja Hadzic, Belgrade, Serbia 1. First I start asking my students what they would like to do. They usually suggest watching a video, learning a new song, playing games, listening to stories, etc. 2. I write their suggestions on the board. 3. Then I mention the conditions in order to get what they have suggested. 4. The sentences written on the board have different colours. I use green for the word "IF", red for the modal verbs "WILL" or "CAN" and blue for the verbs. They immediately notice I am teaching a new structure. 5. Later I ask them to tell the conditions their parents establish at home, like what will your mother do if you behave well? 6. In pairs they talk about it. 7. I help them mention different things their parents have told them about good habits; like what happens if you eat vegetables... brush your teeth... don't smoke... go to bed early, etc.

También aclararemos el significado de clause en la gramática inglesa y cómo invertir el orden de ésta en las oraciones. Uso y estructura del "primer condicional"

Uso El primer condicional se usa para hablar de situaciones que tienen mucha probabilidad que ocurran (reales o posibles) en el presente o futuro.

Estructura El "primer condicional" está compuesto por: 1- La if clause. Frase que contiene la condición. La estructura de la if clause es: if + clause in present tense ( If +oración en presente) Ejemplo de if clause: If she comes to the party Si ella viene a la fiesta 2-La result clause o main clause Frase que contiene el resultado si se cumple la condición. La estructura de la result clause es: subject + Will/can/may/might + verb base form (sujeto + will / can / may/might+ más verbo en su forma base) Ejemplo de main clause: 1-I will dance with her Bailaré con ella. Uniendo la if clause con la main clause la oración diría: If she comes to the party, I will dance with her. Si ella viene a la fiest,bailaré con ella. También puedes invertir el orden de las frases. En este caso no ponemos coma.

I will dance with her if she comes to the party. Bailaré con ella si viene a la fiesta. Nota: se le llama clause en la gramática inglesa a un grupo de palabras que contiene un verbo. Puede ser parte de una oración o ser una oración en sí misma. Ejemplo: I went to the park and played with my friends.

The condition is unreal because it is different from the facts that we know. We can always say But ... El segundo condicional es usado para expresar condiciones reales e irreales y el resultado es probable en el presente o futuro. El condicional es irreal porque el es diferentes hechos que nosotros conocemos nosotros podemos siempre decir pero ... If I were Prime Minister, I 'd increase tax for rich people. ( but I 'm not Prime Minister ) si yo fuera Primer Ministro , yo aumentaria la tasa para la gente rica ( pero yo no soy primer ministro ) - If second conditional : If past simple + infinitive without to si segundo condicional : si pasado simple + infinitivo sin to which countries would you go to if you travelled round the world ? ¿ cual Pais te gustaria ir si tu viajaras alrededor de el mundo ? good lucky bye

El Condicional Tipo 2 se usa para situaciones "imaginarias" en el futuro.Hay una condición que si se cumple,tiene una consecuencia,pero la concreción no es segura o nunca tendrá lugar por no estar basada en hechos reales sino en algo que en este momento no está sucediendo o no es así. Se construye de esta manera: IF +Past Simple,Would+Infinitivo. IF I won the lottery,I would travel around the world. Si ganara la lotería,viajaría alrededor del mundo. (Si se cumple la condición que expresa la primera oración (=ganar la lotería),la consecuencia será lo que dice la segunda oración(=viajar alrededor del mundo.) También puede construirse con COULD o MIGHT + Infinitivo en la segunda oración,dependiendo de cómo lo querramos expresar. If I won the lottery,I could travel around the world. Si ganara la lotería,podría viajar alrededor del mundo.

If I won the lottery,I might travel around the world. Si ganara la lotería,podría ser que viajara alrededor del mundo/tal vez viajaría alrededor del mundo.

Otros ejemplos: If I were you,I would tell him the truth.Si fuera tú,le diría la verdad. (Este es el caso en que se usa para dar una opinión o consejo.El que habla imagina la situación de ser la otra persona y lo que haría en su lugar. Con el sujeto "I",en este caso,se usa generalmente Were,aunque puede usarse Was. If Lucy studied hard,she would pass the exam.Si Lucy estudiara mucho,aprobaría el examen. If my sister married Peter,she would be unhappy.Si mi hermana se casara con Peter,sería desdichada. If I were rich,I would be happy.Si fuera rico,sería feliz. Espero que te sirva.:) PD:No siempre la oración encabezada por IF va al principio.En caso de que vaya en segundo término,no van separadas por una coma.

The Second Conditional is used to talk about 'impossible' situations.    

If we were in London today, we would be able to go to the concert in Hyde Park. If I had millions dollars, I'd give a lot to charity. If there were no hungry people in this world, it would be a much better place. If everyone had clean water to drink, there would be a lot less disease.

Note that after I / he/ she /it we often use the subjunctive form 'were' and not 'was'. (Some people think that 'were' is the only 'correct' form but other people think 'was' is equally 'correct' .)  

If she were happy in her job, she wouldn't be looking for another one. If I lived in Japan, I'd have sushi every day.



If they were to enter our market, we'd have big problems.

Note the form 'If I were you' which is often used to give advice.  

If I were you, I'd look for a new place to live. If I were you, I'd go back to school and get more qualifications.

The Second Conditional is also used to talk about 'unlikely' situations.   

If I went to China, I'd visit the Great Wall. If I was the President, I'd reduce taxes. If you were in my position, you'd understand.

Note that the choice between the first and the second conditional is often a question of the speaker's attitude rather than of facts. Compare these examples. Otto thinks these things are possible, Peter doesn't.      

Otto – If I win the lottery, I'll buy a big house. Peter – If I won the lottery, I'd buy a big house. Otto – If I get promoted, I'll throw a big party. Peter – If I got promoted, I'd throw a big party. Otto – If my team win the Cup, I'll buy champagne for everybody. Peter – If my team won the Cup, I'd buy champagne for everybody.

Note that the 'If clause' can contain the past simple or the past continuous.   

If I was still working in Brighton, I would commute by train. If she were coming, she would be here by now. If they were thinking of selling, I would want to buy.

Note that the main clause can contain 'would' 'could' or 'might.   

If I had the chance to do it again, I would do it differently. If we met up for lunch, we could go to that new restaurant. If I spoke to him directly, I might be able to persuade him.

Also note that sometimes the 'if clause' is implied rather than spoken.   

What would I do without you? ("if you weren't here") Where would I get one at this time of night? ("if I wanted one") He wouldn't agree. ("if I asked him")

SECOND CONDITIONAL El second conditional se usa para condiciones irreales, imposibles, improbables, etc. Hablamos siempre de condiciones que se dan en estos

momentos y no de algo que sucedió o pudo suceder en el pasado. Para que lo veáis claro, miremos un ejemplo: If I had a lot of money, I would buy a Ferrari. Si tuviera mucho dinero, me compraría un Ferrari. Cómo vemos decimos esta frase refiriéndonos a este momento que estamos viviendo ahora y además vemos que es una condición irreal o imposible ya que nos dice "si tuviera mucho dinero" y en realidad no lo tengo. Muchas veces explico a mis alumnos que deberíamos usar este tipo de frases condicionales cuando estamos imaginando cosas que no son reales. La extructura que siguen siempre es la misma: IF+PAST SIMPLE, WOULD+VERB(FORMA BASE) Les podemos dar la vuelta a las dos partes quitando la coma ( como en todas las condicionales). Más ejemplos: If she ate some meat, she would be healthier (but she is vegetarian). Si comiera carne, estaría mas saludable (pero es vegetariana). If I were Madonna, I' d buy a huge house. Si yo fuera Madonna, Me compraría una casa enorme. En esta última frase podemos encontrar algo especial: primero un "I" con un "were" (es una excepción y se usa para decir "si yo fuera") se usa mucho para dar consejos " si fuera tú....". Y segundo el would apostrofado " 'd" que lógicamente se usa más de forma oral. Con I/he/she/it se debería siempre usar "were" y no "was" (es como un subjuntivo). Para prácticar un poco buscad ejercicios por internet. Si no encontráis nada entrad en: http://www.englishgrammarsecrets.com/secondconditional/menu.php

Si tenéis más dudas me dejáis comentario en este post y estaré contento de poder ayudaros.

La segunda condicional se utiliza para expresar una condición improbable o imposible. Para entender a qué hacemos referencia vamos a ver un ejemplo. Si fuese rico, me compraría una casa.

¿PARA QUÉ SIRVE? · Utilizamos las condicionales para indicar una condición y un resultado y por lo tanto consiste en dos frases, la principal y la que indica la condición. · Las segunda condicional indica lo que ocurriría si se diese la condición, aunque es improbable o imposible que suceda.

¿CÓMO SE FORMA? AFIRMATIVA: Las segunda condicional se forma con el pasado simple en la 'if-clause' y con el would en la 'main clause'. [IF... + PAST SIMPLE] + [WOULD + VERBO PRINCIPAL] Si ganase la lotería, me compraría una casa.

If I won the lottery, I would buy a house * En este caso indicamos algo improbable, ya que es una situación que rara vez ocurre. También se puede utilizar los modales 'could' y 'might' en la frase principal. Si ganase la lotería, me podría comprar una casa.

If I won the lottery, I could buy a house NEGATIVA: Para hacer una condicional negativa podemos estructuras diferentes. La primera sería negando los verbos normalmente.

utilizar dos

Si no ganase la lotería, no me compraría una casa.

If I didn’t win the lottery, I wouldn’t buy a house. * Como podemos ver en el ejemplo, simplemente negamos las frases. Recuerda que pueden estar las dos negadas o sólo una de ellas. Sin embargo, también podemos utilizar 'unless' seguido del verbo en afirmativa, manteniendo el mismo significado. Si no ganase la lotería, no me compraría una casa.

Unless I won the lottery, I wouldn't buy a house. * Recuerda que 'unless' significa 'a menos que' o 'si no', por lo que ya indica un significado negativo. INTERROGATIVA: La segunda condicional suele aparecer en preguntas, ya que con ello podemos preguntar por supuestos imaginarios. ¿Qué harías si ganases la lotería?

What would you do if you won the lottery? Me compraría una casa.

I would buy a house.

¿QUÉ DEBO RECORDAR? WAS/WERE: Debemos recordar que cuando usamos el verbo 'to be' podemos utilizar la forma 'were' (en lugar de 'was') para todas las personas. Si yo fuese tú compraría un coche nuevo.

If I were you, I would buy a new car. Si él fuese rico compraría un coche nuevo.

If he were rich, he would buy a new car. * A veces lo encontraremos con 'was', pero es una forma menos formal, especialmente en inglés americano.

ESTRUCTURA: Cuando hablamos de oraciones condicionales debemos tener en cuenta que están formadas por dos frases. La 'if-clause' que es la frase que contiene la partícula 'if'. Esta frase indica la hipótesis o condición. 1

La 'main clause', es decir, la frase principal. Esta frase lo que indica es el resultado. 2

ORDEN: Recuerda que estas dos frases pueden intercambiarse el orden, es decir, que podemos también encontrar la 'main-clause' primero y luego la 'if-clause'.

If I won the lottery, I would buy a house. I would buy a house if I won the lottery. *1 Cuando la 'if-clause' está delante separamos las frases con una coma, de lo contrario no es necesario. *2 Recuerda, además, que podemos encontrar 'would' contraído.

Conditional Sentences (Frases condicionales) El uso del condicional significa que una acción depende de otra. Los condicionales se utilizan para hablar sobre situaciones reales o irreales. En general, las frases condicionales llevan la palabra "if" (si). Ten en cuenta que no existe un tiempo verbal para el condicional en inglés como existe en español. A la vez, se usa el verbo auxiliar "would" para formar el condicional en inglés. Hay cuatro tipos de frases condicionales y el uso de uno u otro refleja la probabilidad de la acción.

Zero Conditional (Tipo 0) Se usa este tipo de condicional cuando la condición y el resultado siempre es verdad, como por ejemplo los hechos científicos. IF

Condition

Result

If

Present simple

Present simple



Ejemplos:



Play If you heat water to 100° C, it boils. / Water boils if you heat it to 100° C. (Si calientas agua a 100 ° C hierve.)



Play If I don't practice the piano everyday I play poorly. / I play the piano poorly if I don't practice everyday. (Si no practico el piano cada día toco mal.)



Play Does your mom get mad if you don't call her? / If you don't call your mom, does she getmad? (¿Si no llamas a tu madre, se enoja?) Nota: Podemos cambiar el orden de las frases sin cambiar el significado. También, en general con este tipo de condicional, podemos sustituir "if" por "when" sin alterar el significado. First Conditional (Tipo 1) Este tipo de condicional se utiliza para el futuro y en los casos en que es muy probable que la condición pasará. IF

Condition

Result

If

Present simple

Future simple ("will")



Ejemplos:



Play If Bill studies, he will pass the exam. / Bill will pass the exam if he studies. (Si Bill estudia, aprobará el examen.)



Play If it doesn't rain, we will go to the beach. / We will go to the beach if it doesn't rain. (Si no llueve, iremos a la playa.)



Play Will you take the train if you miss the bus? / If you miss the bus, will you take the train?(¿Cogerás el tren si pierdes el bus?) Nota: Se pueden usar algunos verbos modales en vez de "will" para cambiar la probabilidad o expresar una opinión. Para más información, ver la lección sobre los verbos modales.



Ejemplos:



Play

If it doesn't rain, we may go to the beach. [*Con el uso de "may", el significado de esta frase cambia. Ahora, el hablante reconoce que puede ir a la playa pero no esta tan seguro de si irá.]



Play If it doesn't rain we should go to the beach. [*En este caso, el uso de "should" expresa la opinión del hablante.]



Play If it doesn't rain we can go to the beach.["Can" significa que es posible ir a la playa, pero no indica la probabilidad.]

Second Conditional (Tipo 2) Se utiliza el tipo 2 para expresar una posibilidad irreal en el presente, como un deseo o un sueño, o para una acción en el futuro no tan probable. IF

Condition

Result

If

Past simple

"Would" + infinitivo



Ejemplos:



Play If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world. / I would travel around the world if Iwon the lottery. (Si ganara la lotería, viajaría alrededor del mundo.)



Play If Rachel had more time, she would learn to play the guitar. / Rachel would learn to play the guitar if she had more time. (Si Rachel tuviera más tiempo, aprendería a tocar la guitarra.)



Play Would you be happy if you were to get married? / If you were to get married, would you behappy? (¿Estarías feliz si te casaras?) Nota: Como en el tipo 1, se pueden usar otros verbos modales en vez de "would" para cambiar el significado y la posibilidad. Third Conditional (Tipo 3) A diferencia a los tipos 1 y 2, se utiliza el tercer tipo de condicional cuando hablamos de una condición en el pasado que no ha sucedido. IF

Condition

Result

If

Past perfect

"Would have" + past participle



Ejemplos:



Play If I had known then what I know now, I would have done things differently. / I would have done things differently if I had known then what I know now. (Si hubiera sabido en el pasado lo que sé ahora, hubiera hecho las cosas de manera diferente.)



Play Suzanne wouldn't have had the heart attack if she had gone on a diet as her doctor recommended. / If Suzanne had gone on a diet as her doctor recommended she wouldn't have had the heart attack. (Suzanne no hubiera tenido el infarto si hubiera hecho dieta como su médico le recomendó.)



Play Would you have liked to go to university if you had been able to afford it? / If you had been able to afford it, would you have liked to go to university? (¿Te hubiera gustado ir a la universidad si te lo hubieras permitido pagar?)

Nota: Como en los tipos 1 y 2, se pueden usar otros verbos modales en vez de "would" para cambiar el significado y la probabilidad.

SECOND CONDITIONAL (explicada en español ) Este tipo de oracion condicional se usa para expresar situaciones hipoteticas en el presente , como un deseo o un sueño , o una accion que puede suceder en el futuro pero no es probable. Tambien la podemos usar para dar un consejo a otra persona poniendonos en su lugar. Se forma con el pasado simple y los verbos modales como Would , Could , Might , Should estos ultimos siempre van seguidos por el infinitivo .

Recordemos que las oraciones condicionales se forman con : una oracion principal y una suboracion condicional .

Para la Segunda Condicional debemos usar en la suboracion que expresa la Condicion el Pasado Simple y en la oracion principal , que es el resultado de la condicional: Would + infinitivo .

Aqui tienes un ejemplo : sub oracion condicional oracion principal IF + Condition + Result IF + Past simple + "Would" + infinitivo If I won the lottery , I would buy that car . (Si Yo ganara la loteria , compraria ese auto .) Usualmente ponemos una coma cuando la sub oracion condicional If esta primero que la oracion principal , pero si la oracion principal es la primera la coma se omite . * Recordemos que los verbos que se usan en las condicionales pueden abreviarse con el uso de un apostrofe . Would = 'd Had = 'd

Would not = Wouldn't Did not = Didn't Traducciones cientifico literarias Prof Carol Cel :15 6448 4598 Bs.As Argentina Mail : [email protected]

Aqui tienes mas ejemplos : *En estos casos estamos usando la Segunda condicional para hablar de una posibilidad irreal en el presente , como un deseo , un sueño o una accion que se puede dar en el futuro pero es muy improbable .

Past simple + Would + infinitivo If I had enough money , I would buy that house.

Si tuviera suficiente dinero , Yo compraria esa casa . (pero en realidad no tengo el dinero ) Past simple Would + infinitivo If I had any money , I would give you some . Si tuviera algo de dinero , te daria . (pero en realidad no tengo dinero ) Past simple Would + infinitivo If Harry won the lottery , He would travel to Iceland . Si Harry ganara la loteria , El viajaria a Islandia . ( pero en realidad Harry no gano la loteria ) * Recordemos que si la oracion principal esta al principio la coma se omite .

Would+infinitivo Past simple They would go to Bariloche If They had the money. Ellos irian a Bariloche Si ellos tuvieran el dinero. (pero en realidad ellos no tienen el dinero )

Would + infinitivo Past simple He would feel better If he did not smoke so much. El se sentiria mejor Si no fumara tanto . (pero en realidad no ha dejado de fumar )

Would +infinitivo Past simple I would lower taxes If I became president . Yo bajaria los impuestos , Si me convirtiera en presidente . (pero en realidad no soy presidente ) *En estos casos estamos usando la Segunda condicional para dar un consejo o ponernos en el lugar de otra persona.

Past simple

Would +infinitivo

If I were in Brazil , I would go to Rio . Si estuviera en Brazil, Yo iria a Rio. Past simple Would +infinitivo If I were you , I would go to the party . Si fuera tu ,Yo iria a la fiesta. Past simple

Would +infinitivo

If He were in my place , He wouldn't do this. Si El estuviera en mi lugar , no haria esto.

NOTA : En este tipo de oracion condicional el verbo To be se conjuga en pasado pero con I - He - She - It se usa WERE al igual que con You We They , ya que esta expresando una condicion y esta funcionando como Subjuntivo .

Para ver mas donaciones gratuitas en la web ir a: http://www.thenonprofits.com/ *Tambien podemos usar las condicionales en las preguntas :

Would +infinitivo Past simple Would They win the match If They played ? ¿Ganaran Ellos el partido si jugaran ? Would +infinitivo Past simple Would They come If I asked them ? ¿Vendrian Ellos si les pidiera ? Would +infinitivo Past simple What would you do If they offered you the job ? ¿Que harias si te ofrecieran el empleo ?

Entonces , tengamos en cuenta que para usar esta Condicional, en la suboracion condicional debe ir el pasado simple y en la oracion principal debe ir Would + infinitivo .

Si por ejemplo decimos :

(oracion principal )

(sub oracion condicional)

She would go to Argentina If her parents would buy her the plane ticket . Esto es incorrecto ya que en la sub oracion condicional corresponde el pasado simple . La forma correcta es: (oracion principal ) (suboracion condicional ) Result + If + Condition Would +infinitivo + If + Past simple She would go to Argentina If her parents bought her the plane ticket . (Carolina iria a Argentina Si sus padres compraran el boleto de avion .)

Si por ejemplo decimos : (sub oracion condicional) (oracion principal) If I would won the scholarship , I would become the first one in my family to study at University . Esto es incorrecto ya que en la sub oracion condicional corresponde el pasado simple .

La forma correcta es: (sub oracion condicional) (oracion principal ) IF + Condition + Result If + Past simple + Would + infinitivo If I won the scholarship , I would become the first one in my family to study at University . (Si Yo ganara la beca , me convertiria en la primera en mi familia en estudiar en la universidad. )

Entonces recuerda que la Segunda Condicional se usa para expresar situaciones hipoteticas en el presente , como un deseo o un sueño , o una accion que puede suceder en el futuro pero no es probable. Tambien la podemos usar para dar un consejo a otra persona poniendonos en su lugar. Para usar correctamente la Segunda Condicional siempre en la suboracion condicional debe ir el pasado simple y en la oracion principal debe ir Would + infinitivo .

Second Conditional: unreal possibility or

dream The second conditional is like the first conditional. We are still thinking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition in the future, and the result of this condition. But there is not a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, you do not have a lottery ticket. Is it possible to win? No! No lottery ticket, no win! But maybe you will buy a lottery ticket in the future. So you can think about winning in the future, like a dream. It's not very real, but it's still possible. IF condition past simple If

result WOULD + base verb

I won the lottery I would buy a car.

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. We use the past simple tense to talk about the future condition. We use WOULD + base verb to talk about the future result. The important thing about the second conditional is that there is an unreal possibility that the condition will happen. Here are some more examples: IF condition past simple

result WOULD + base verb

If

I married Mary

I would be happy.

If

Ram became rich

she would marry him.

If

it snowed next July would you be surprised?

If

it snowed next July what would you do?

result

IF condition

WOULD + base verb

past simple

I would be happy

if

I married Mary.

She would marry Ram

if

he became rich.

Would you be surprised if

it snowed next July?

What would you do

it snowed next July?

if

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