Conditional Verbs

 Conditional Verbs
                                                              
* There are two kinds of conditional verbs – real and unreal.

* Real conditional sentences describe real-life situations whereas unreal conditional sentences describe unreal or imaginary situations.

* Conditional sentences contain the conjunction ‘if’. They have two parts in the sentence.

a) Zero Conditional Tense : Here, situation is real and results express general truth. Simple Present tense is used in both the parts of sentences.
For eg: If you eat too much, you become fat.

b) First Conditional Tense : Here, situation is real but results are possible. Simple present tense is used in the first part and Simple Future tense is used in the main part (second part) of the sentence.



For eg :If you go for English classes, your English will improve.
