my name is Ethan and I am your real-life

subscribe button down below
so we can help you out by bringing you
new lessons every single week let's jump
into the day's lesson there are four
types of conditional sentences the zero
conditional the first conditional second
conditional and the third conditional
let's start off with the zero
conditional this is used for cause and
effect in general these states something
we know as a fact it is constructed as
follows if plus the present tense and
then the present tense example if you
heat water it boils if you drink a lot
of beer you get drunk next the first
conditional we use this to talk about
future consequences that is if you do
something now what will be the result of
it in the future so the basic
construction is if plus the present
tense and then will or won't plus the
infinitive we call this the condition
clause and this the result clause
example if I drink too much I will get
drunk but you can also switch the two
clauses and put if in the middle of the
sentence example you will probably fail
if you don't make learning English fun
now let's see some examples from friends
if they find him they'll take him away
from me
Marcel is an illegal exotic animal I'm
not allowed to have him in the city if
they find him they'll take him away from
me
okay well now see you never ever ever
told us that that book got me through
some tough times there is a little child
inside this man yes the doctors say if
they remove it he'll die besides using
will and the result clause you can use
the other two forms to talk about the
future that is going to or the present
continuous click up at the top to learn
how to master the future tenses in
English if I'm going down I'm taking
everybody with instead of future tense
form you can also use modal verbs such
as showed could or can etc Rachel what
are you gonna say to one I don't know
well then maybe you shouldn't go he's
right because if you just gotta like
break his heart that's the kind of thing
that can wait
yep that's good news you should tell him
now do if you want you could just take a
nap right here
okay just for a little so what'd he say
but jerk I kept talking about you
and he kept asking me out maybe
naturally you know I said no huh thanks
anyway he just kept asking Rachel if you
if you want to go out with him you can
he sounds like a big jerk to me that's
what you want to do I hope you're having
an awesome time making English learning
fun with friends and I have a question
for you do you get frustrated when you
can't understand fast speaking natives
well we have got a course that you are
going to absolutely love it's called
blooming with friends and if you want to
get a free preview of that we have made
a mini course for you you can find out
all about that by clicking right up here
somewhere
alright let's get back to today's lesson
let's move on to the second conditional
the second conditional is probably the
one you think about when you hear the
word conditional because it requires
wood in its construction we use it to
talk about a hypothetical or imaginary
present or future situation and its
consequence its construction is if plus
a simple past would plus the infinitive
if you are a bit confused don't worry
it's quite simple when you take a look
at some examples if I won the lottery I
would buy a motorcycle we would vote for
her if she ran for president if I were
you I would make English learning more
fun with TV series notice that the verb
to be is conjugated differently in
conditional sentences although even
natives sometimes make the mistake of
saying if I was
if I was a superhero who could fly and
be invisible that would be the best
click up at the top to watch another
video about the second conditional let's
look at some examples hey baby I'm back
what's going on oh no you know you have
to stay back I I have the pox weren't
you at home in bed cuz my grandmother's
never had chickenpox please please tell
me you have cuz oh my god I forgot how
cute you are sorry I never had him oh if
I had one wish would be to build a time
machine go back to when I was seven when
Jimmy Hauser had the chickenpox I would
grab that kid and rub him all over my
face you know you could just wish that I
didn't have them now and now instead of
wood in the result Clause we use should
and could if you wanted to punish them
you should have just made them hang out
here Jim we were playing gin you know
for a couple we could play this game
naked Vince is a fireman Wow you ever
rescued anyone from a burning building
before 98 hot saves ice on the force
well you know Joey and I play with
matches we could get you up to an even
hundred and finally here are some
interrogated second conditional
sentences hey Joey what would you do if
you were omnipotent let me kill myself
excuse me hey if little Joey's dead then
I got no reason Joey I'm nipa ten you
are part a that is not coming in here
that thing this is how you greet guests
at a party let me ask you something if I
showed up here with my new girlfriend it
wouldn't be welcome in your home I'm
thinking your new girlfriend wouldn't
urinate on my coffee table third
conditional last the third conditional
is used to talk about a hypothetical
past situation this is the conditional
most learners find the most confusing
but if you pay attention to the
construction you will see it is actually
quite simple if plus the past perfect
would plus the present perfect for
example if I had gone to the party I
would have been late for my interview if
they had tried harder they wouldn't have
failed
[Music]
all I'm saying is if you had told me
vegetarian lasagna I would have made
vegetarian lasagna well the meats only
every third layer maybe you could scrape
no it was a stupid bet we were just
playing a game you can't just ignore the
best we have to move and if we had lost
we would have made them get rid of the
birds right no love her this is all my
fault really was it your fault because I
should have called you know if I just
called her after our big stupid fight
she never wanted gone out with Nick and
they wouldn't have ended up in bed
together I threw her and his mandibles
alright now it's time to test what you
have learned so we will show you an
example that is missing some words and
you have to say what is missing
if you want I'll do it with you if you
want I'll do it with you if you want
this part if you want this part you're
good enough to keep me with it if you
want this part you're good enough to
take me with it if you had to do it all
over again
would you tell her if you had to do it
all over again would you tell her in
fact if you asked her right now she
would have no recollection of being
fired at all not at all in fact if you
asked her right now she would have no
recollection of being fired at all none
at all
I'm not proving anything okay I'm done
listening to you
I hadn't let you talk me into going to
the airport in the first place

to the airport in the first place I
never would put my fist through the wall
you put your fist through the wall no I
missed and hit the door have you ever
