Present and Future Real Conditionals (ESL)

Present and Future Real Conditionals

​PRESENT REAL CONDITIONAL

​The present real conditional is the most basic kind of conditional. Basically, when A happens, B happens.

Here's an example:

"If it rains, I bring an umbrella."

Conditionals have two parts:

the if clause: "if it rains," and the result clause: "I bring an umbrella."

You could also say "I bring an umbrella if it rains."

​FUTURE REAL CONDITIONAL

Now let's talk about the future real conditional. If A happens, B will happen.

To make a future real conditional, use will in the result clause.

For example:

"If your plane is late, I will wait in the car."

Use the future real conditional to talk about possible situations in the future.

​Again, you could also say "I will wait in the car if your plane is late".

​Pay attention!

If you are writting sentences in the Present Real Conditional, use the rules of the Simple Present:

• ​with He, She, It - use s, es or ies in the verbs.

​If he cooks well, he can be a chef.

​She needs to get a license if she drives so well.

​

​If you are writting sentences in the Future Real Conditional, always use will + base form of the verb, however, only in the result clause.

​If he cooks well, he will be a chef.

​She will get a license if she drives so well.
