Subject English

Grade 10^th

• Conditional sentences are used to express that the action in the main clause can only take place if a certain condition is fulfilled. Conditionals describe the result of a certain condition. Conditionals have two clauses: if clause and Main clause. The if-clause tell us the condition (if you study hard) and the main-clause tells us the result (you will pass your exams).

TYPES OF CONDITIONAL SENTENCES:

• There are four types of conditionals:

i.                    Zero Conditionals

i.                   Zero Conditionals:

• Zero conditionals are used to talk about things that are generally true, especially for laws and rules, as such;
