CONDITIONAL SENTENCES - TINGIMUSLAUSED
Conditionals are composed of two clauses: the IF clause and the RESULT clause.
You can begin conditional sentences with the if clause or the result clause. The meaning is the same.
If the IF clause comes first, a comma is used between the two clauses.
If you learn it, you will know it. You will know it if you learn it.
Zero conditional - If + present simple (lihtolevik 1. põhivorm) + present simple.
It is used for situations that are generally or always true or with instructions or invitations.
If you touch fire, you get burned.
If you have time, come over.
First conditional - If + present simple (lihtolevik, 1. põhivorm) + will / won't + infinitive.
It is used for possible and probable situations in the future and their consequences.
If you have already eaten supper, I'll make you a cup of tea.
Second conditional - If + past simple (lihtminevik) + would / wouldn't + infinitive
It is used for imaginary, impossible, or improbable situations and their consequences. The situations are in the present or future, NOT in the past.
If I were rich (imaginary present situation), I would travel all over the world (the consequence).
If I were a prince, I would live in a palace.
