UNIT 9 Grammar
• Conditionals: zero, first, second, third, mixed, inverted / unless, in case, as/so long as, provided (that)
( Zero conditional )
Form • if+ present simple, present simple
( First conditional )
Form • if+ a present tense, will + bare infinitive
Real or likely conditions in the present or future and their results in the present and future
•We can also use may, might, can, could, shall, should, ought to, have to instead of will, depending on the meaning.
If you have a birthday party, you might get loads of cool presents!
•We can also use should + bare infinitive instead of present simple. This suggests the situation is possible, but unlikely to happen.
If you should bump into Alex at the concert, you’ll be able to get a lift home.
•We can also use a form of the first conditional to give instructions about real or likely situations in the present or future.This is: if+ a present tense, imperative.
If you decide to have a birthday party, tell me!
( unless, in case, as/so long as, provided (that)
| Word or Phrase | Meaning | Example |
| unless | ‘except if’or ‘if. not’ | I’ll be there at six unlessI get delayed. (= except if I get delayed / if I don’t get delayed) |
| in case | ‘because he/she/it/etc might’ | Let’s take our wellies in case it’s muddy. (= because it might be muddy) |
| as/so long as | ‘if’ or’only if’ | As long as I’m happy, my parents don’t care what job I do. So long as I’m happy, my parents don’t care what job I do. |
| provided (that) | ‘if’ or’only if’ | Provided (that) I’m happy, my parents don’t care what job I do. |
( Second conditional )
Form • if+ past simple or past continuous, would + bare infinitive
•We can also use might or could instead of would, depending on the meaning. (Note: could here often means would be able to.)
✓If we were older, we could goon holiday on our own.
•We can also use could in the //clause. Here, it means was/were able to.
✓If I could drive, I’d buy a car.
( Third conditional )
Form • if+ past perfect (simple or continuous), would + have + past participle
• We can also use might, could or should instead of would, depending on the meaning.
✓If I had done some revision, I might / could /should have passed the exam.
( Mixed conditionals )
Form • if+ past perfect (simple or continuous), would + bare infinitive
| Use | Example |
| Hypothetical present conditions and a past result | If I had a mobile, Iwould have called you last night. (= I don’t have a mobile so I didn’t call you last night.) |
( Inverted conditionals )
Form • Should I/you/he/etc. insteadofIf I/you/he/etc should.
Were I/you/he/etc. insteadofIf I/you/he/etc were.
Had I/you/he/etc. insteadofIf I/you/he/etc had.
WATCH OUT
• For all conditional sentences (first, second, third, mixed, inverted), when the condition comes before the result it is usually followed by a comma. When the result comes first, no comma is necessary.
✓If I had a mobile, I would have called you last night.
✓I would have called you last night if I had a mobile.
• In conditional sentences, modals (will, would, could, etc) are sometimes followed by a continuous infinitive.
✓We’d still be waiting if you hadn’t turned up.

Some scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, believe it’s possible that there are billions and billions of universes. Each universe has a different possible consequence for every action. In the universe we live in, for example, George Bush became President of the USA in January 2001, and Greece won the European Cup in July 2004. But in other universes different things happened. Imagine if that’s true! In some universes, your parents didn’t meet, so you weren’t born. In another universe, a meteor didn’t strike the Earth, so the dinosaurs didn’t become extinct. In a different universe, your best friend won the lottery last summer and moved to a bigger house. In another parallel universe, you started learning English a year earlier, so you did this book last year! Somewhere else, Madonna wasn’t discovered, and so didn’t make any records. In another universe, Van Gogh was recognised as a great painter during his lifetime, and so didn’t die in poverty. And perhaps in several universes, there were enough lifeboats on the Titanic and so everyone on board survived. It makes you think, doesn’t it?

Story from my office
I work in a large office with about thirty other people,most of whom I know quite well.
We spend most of the day together, so we have all become friends.
I fact, most of my colleagues are so interesting, that I am thinking of writing a book about them. Take Helen Watson, for example. Helen runs the accounts department. At the moment she is going out with Keith Ballantine, one of the sales representatives, and they seem very happy together. But everyone (except Helen apparently) knows that Keith is always making eyes at Susan Porter. But I happen to know that Susan dislikes Keith. ‘I can’t stand people who apologise/ are apologising all the time!, she told me. ‘And besides, I know he is deceiving poor Helen. He is seeing Betty Wills from overseas department. ‘And plenty of other interesting things are going on. For instance, every week money disappears from the petty cash box. When you realise that someone in your office is a thief, it upsets you at first. But I am also trying to catch whoever it is before the police are called in. I am not going to tell you who I suspect. Well, not yet anyway.
