Thank you sir for The very Clear explanation about these if conditional types. As I’m Indonesian, in our language There is no form Like that, so I often Find difficulty to explain its usage to my students.
"if I miss a train, I am late." "If she lets me in on what she is going to do on holidays, I will definitely keep her secret." "If I were in your shoes, I would mull over the proposal." "She said that if she had been in my shoes, she would have mulled over the proposal." Thanks a million for the informative video! Break a leg everybody, appreciation from Ukraine.
It couldn't have been explained better. Both the content and your tone of voice are very good. Thanks to you I understood the topic very well. Thank you very much 🇹🇷
Thank you! I would like to know how to change the tense of conditionals in reported speech. How should we change the tense in it and in other situations such as story telling?
BUT, at least in the USA, they got used to saying "If I WAS" even though they know it's incorrect, like in; - If I was. If I were (correct) - If he was. If he were (correct) - If she was. If she were (correct) - If it was. If it were (correct). If you were (correct) If we were (correct) If they were (correct) That's to say "the subjunctive mood". Example; - If she were younger, she would get the job. The correct expressions must use "were" with all pronouns. I personally use "were" to avoid confusion.
The correct sentence is: "If you heat water to one hundred degrees, it boils." This is because "to" indicates that the temperature is being increased until it reaches 100 degrees, which is the boiling point of water. That's also why we say "water boils AT 100 degrees." In this case, there is no increase implied.
1st If you heat ice ,it melts. 2.if you run fast,you will win the race. 3.If I were you,I would help your parents. 3.If I had had a new car,I would have gone long drive.
Yes, in zero conditional sentences, "if" and "when" can generally be used interchangeably without changing the meaning. Both refer to situations that are always true or general facts. For example: If you heat water to 100°C, it boils. When you heat water to 100°C, it boils. In both cases, the statement expresses a fact that is always true under the given conditions. However, "when" can sometimes emphasize the time aspect more strongly than "if," but in zero conditional, they are essentially the same.
Hello! The sentence "If I am black, then I don't have rights" is an example of a zero conditional. Zero conditionals are used to state general truths, facts, or habitual actions, where the condition always leads to the same result. They are typically structured with the present simple tense in both the "if" clause and the main clause. Thanks for watching!
