Types of Conditionals

Type - 1: The first conditional or Probable Conditional

DØËo Open conditional ÅE èπÿú≈ Åçö«®Ω’. The action in both clauses are likely to

happen. It refers to the future. It is used when there is a possibility that the if - event

might happen. Åçõ‰ Ç¨»-¶µ«´çûÓ èπÿúø’-èπ◊-†o-ü¿-†o- ÷ô!

e.g.: i) If it rains, we will postpone the match.

It might or might not rain.

iii) If the weather is fine, we will go on a picnic.

(will/ shall/ can + vb) ™†÷ Öçú≈L.

Type - 2: Second conditional or Improbable/ Imaginary Conditional:

The if-event is either hypothetical or unlikely i.e., it talks about actions that the

speaker thinks are possible but not very probable. We don't really expect this to

happen.

e.g.: i) What would you do if you won a lottery? (Don't expect that you will win

a lottery)

ii) If I spoke English, everyone would respect me. (but I cannot speak

English).

iii) If you worked hard, you would succeed (but you don't work hard).
