The short form of „will“, „(apostrophe) +ll“ is used more often than the full word in conditional sentences, as we usually describe spontaneous decisions we might make in the future. Situation 1: You talk to a child and explain what happens in the spring.

So in the first situation, the null condition is used because it`s something that happens often, right? For the two conditional types mentioned above, it is not important whether „if“ is placed in the first sentence of the declaration or in the second sentence. They mean the same and can be replaced during use. Dear Annemarie, Thank you for your excellent work on how we can use the conditions in our Daly English practice.

Another in our series on conditional sentences. We use the second condition to talk about improbable or impossible situations in the present or the future. Here is the structure: we use the third condition to talk about impossible situations, as in the second condition, in the past. We often use the third condition to describe regret. The structure is: Return to the formation of zero conditioned. Let`s look at some examples that help us with this. So, should you use the zero condition or the first?

Thank you for sharing your examples. There is a change we want to make in the first sentence.

Where would you put a comma in your examples? It is also possible to mix the second and third conditions. Let`s look at each condition to see how we use it.
The first condition describes a specific situation, while the null condition describes what happens in general. For example (zero condition): when you sit in the sun, you burn yourself (here I am talking about every time a person sits in the sun – burning is a natural consequence of sitting) But (first condition): If you sit in the sun, you will be burned (here I am talking about what will happen today, another day could be different) These two sentences are very similar, but there is a difference in meaning between the two – can you tell the difference?
