let's get down to business because there's a lot of information so I'm
gonna cut to the chase here we go first of all what are conditionals Priscila, what's that
all about conditionals are sentences we use to speculate things in the present
in a possible future or in an unrealistic past so here
basically when we are doing conditionals when we were using conditionals we are
making speculations we are thinking of possible things that may happen or may
have happened in the past and conditionals will give that speculation
okay we'll give that idea of speculating things okay when we're learning
conditionals that are primarily there may be more but there are primarily four
types important types of conditionals we have the 0 conditionals which we're
going to talk about today we have the first conditionals which we are also
going to talk about today and we have the second and then the third the third
conditionals okay these are the most important conditionals that you as an
English speaker you need to know okay basically if you don't know this at some
point you will need to dedicate some time to learning and using conditionals
maybe you already use conditionals okay conditionals are part of using
conditionals is part of every student's routine but you may not know the rules
the thing so conditionals are phrases are sentences that we use to speculate
things in the present future or in an unrealistic past and unreal past when I
talk about second conditionals I'm gonna talk more about past here we're gonna
focus on present okay present and future moving on awesome okay
so let's get down to the structure itself which confuses many English
learners when we're making conditionals we are going to need two clauses okay
what is a clause a clause let's make it very simple a clause is a phrase okay a
sentence a phrase that's basically what a clause is to simplify what a clause is
to make conditionals you need two clauses okay these phrases they will
always be something okay so here you will always have when you're making a
conditional sentence you always have one phrase that will represent the condition
and another phrase that will represent the result okay always you always have
one phrase One Clause representing the condition and you always have another
phrase representing the result to represent the condition you need the
word if okay so you have the if clause the condition clause the if clause and
you have the main clause the main clause we can say is the possible result phrase
the clause the main clause is the possible result sentence usually you
have this sequence you have two possible sequences you have the if
clause plus the main clause or you can invert this sequence and start with the
main clause and then go to the if clause okay so you have these two possible
sequences very nice now as I said when you want to make a conditional sentence
you need the word if if is a conjunction and this word if will help you indicate
the condition okay remember when we're talking about conditionals we always
have one phrase to represent the condition and another phrase to
represent the possible result if will always be in the condition phrase okay
will always help you speculate something it will always help you indicate a
condition so you have to start with if but as I said you can invert the
positions but that's a different story okay
and again just a quick explanation the conditionals will always indicate will
always speculate a possible result in the future or it may talk about
something that may have happened I don't know I think it could have happen but
I'm not sure as you watch the other videos you will better understand the
past speculation unreal speculations future speculations I'm not gonna do the
videos tomorrow ok next week you should get the next part of this lesson and hey
if you're just if you're just joining how about hitting the like button if
you're interested in conditionals if you want to learn more about conditionals
please hit the like button that way I know this is something you enjoy that
you want to learn more about or not just conditionals necessarily but grammar
videos in general ok excellent now now that you understood what conditionals
are we can go straight ahead and focus on 0 conditionals ok 0 conditionals are
the easiest ones because they are always in the present first phrase is in the
present second phrase is in the present always in the present okay no other
tense always in the present but teacher Prix why when you're using 0
conditionals you are talking about you are referring to something connected to
now something connected to always something that doesn't change a general
truth ok this thing doesn't change here I have an example if you heat ice ice
okay ice is very cold ice but if you heat if you put fire on ice if you heat ice
what happens to the ice it melts so here what's my condition heat
the ice if I do that to the ice what is the result
it melts it becomes water it melts so this always happens this is a
general truth this doesn't change okay it doesn't matter what kind of fire you
use you always melt ice if you put fire on it so in these situations when you
have a general truth when you're talking about something that will not
change no matter what that's a zero condition
okay another example if you mix the color blue and the color yellow what's
the result you get green okay so here it doesn't matter if I mix blue and yellow
I get green this is a general truth this is connected to always I won't if I
if I if I mix blue and yellow I will not have a different result I'm
always going to have the same result if I mix blue and yellow I get green I
always get green no matter what only if you mix a different color that's
different but here I'm talking about a general truth okay Oh teacher Prix are
first are zero conditionals very popular if you paid attention in my examples you
will realize you will understand that they are not so common they happen but
they happen in very specific scenarios in very specific situations so this is
the kind of conditional that it's important to know but you are not always
excuse me you are not always going to use zero conditionals but it's important
that you identify these conditionals in conversations because you may need it
okay excellent moving on and hey if you are new in my channel consider
subscribing every week I post different lessons from Monday to Friday and I
noticed from my reports on YouTube that more than 50% that
watch my lessons are not subscribers so this is very alarming huh okay so
so consider subscribing every week I'll be there for you you know and so is the
alarm gonna be there for us anyway what are we gonna do right moving on first
conditionals now that you learned the basic zero conditional zero conditions
are like the basic okay that you need to know now we go we move forward to first
conditionals this is where things get interesting with first conditionals you
have more conversation opportunities you have more real contexts okay now here
what's the difference when I use first conditionals I am talking about a real
possibility in the future I'm saying that I have a condition in my present
that if I do something my result is possible in the future so that's what I
do with first conditionals I also have two clauses I have the if clause
remember the if Clause is the condition what needs to happen today to give me
the second Clause the result Clause the possible result Clause so what I need to
do today to have a result in the future now with the first conditionals your
phrases will be present and future so one phrase will be in the present in
the simple present and your second sentence will be in the future okay in
more advanced grammar you will see that there are some moments when we have
future future conditionals or we have present continuous there is a lot of
information guys I'm telling you the bread and butter what you really really
need to know to communicate efficiently okay
now as I said you have two clauses the condition is in the present what do you
need to do today and the result the clause number two is the result clause
this result class will be in the future most of the time with will okay so two
clauses one in the present with if and the second clause in the future no if the
result is future know if okay as I said we can invert the positions so here
let's take a look at an example what is my condition my condition in the present
what do I need to do if I study hard what's my condition study hard I need to
study hard so if I study hard in the present what is going to happen to my
future what will happen I will learn English okay so if I study hard I will
learn English I will learn to speak English so to have the future result of
speaking English I have a condition I have something that I need to do now in
my present what is that study hard so if I study hard I will learn English I can
invert to the position of the phrases I can start with my result I will learn to
speak English if I study hard okay so it's possible to play with the position
you can start with the result and then speak the condition or you can start
with the condition and then go to the result you can do that no problems okay
now as I said this type of conditional always has a present condition and a
future result okay so one phrase one phrase is in the future and the result
is always in the future because we are talking about a real possibility another
example if I is spend less time on Netflix what will happen a real
possibility I will have more time to study English now I can invert and I can
say my result first oh I will have more time to study English if I spend
less time on Netflix you know this is something that I am speculating about my
future it's a real possibility it's something that if I do it will happen
okay guys if you have questions you can post them in the chat and in the
comments as this is a lesson that is supposed to be no more than twenty
minutes I will take a look at the chat replay I will take a look at the
comments and depending on your questions in the next conditional video I can
create a section just to answer the questions about conditionals okay
excellent my friends now we have homework for you I wanted to create two
examples one using zero conditional and the second example using first
conditional remember especially with the first conditional try to connect this
with something that is real for you okay if I eat healthy food I will have more
energy that's why I eat healthy food I already eat healthy food this is not a
possibility for me it's a fact but try to connect to something that is going to
happen in your life just something that you're planning to something you want to
do to a result that you're looking for that's the kind of example that I want you
to post in the comments something connected to your life okay other than
that my friends thank you so much and I will see you tomorrow with another
lesson and hey one more thing if you enjoyed this video help spread the love
share this video with your friends because there are many people who need
to learn more about zero and first conditionals thank
you so much and I'll see you tomorrow bye-bye
