Check Your Reading
1. What do you think are the main ideas the poet is raising?
2. What would the poet do if he had a persuasive voice?
3. What can you notice about the poem’s structure?
4. Enlist words expressing conditions and their corresponding
results.
What’s New
Conditional sentences have two clauses: a condition (if...) and a result. The
verb tense used in each depends on whether the speaker thinks the result is
probable (real) or only exists in the imagination (unreal).
If-clause (condition) Main Clause (result)
First Conditional- used If I drink coffee tonight, I will not sleep well.
for future, real/factual
situations
Third Conditional- used If I had drunk coffee last I would not have slept
for past, unreal night, well.
imaginary situations
Note: If the “if” clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the “if” clause
comes second, there’s no need for a comma.
Examples: If you heat it to 100 degrees, water boils.
Water boils if you heat it to 100 degrees.

As you finish this module, you are expected to:
1. Tell what conditional is
2. Identify the types of conditional
3. Use conditionals in expressing arguments
What I Know
Last time, you have focused on modals. Recall some modals and its
use.
Example: Can - ability
Before we proceed to the discussion of our topic, conditional and its
types, you will answer this activity to assess your prior knowledge on the
topic. Take note of the structural pattern of the verb in each conditional
sentence (Zero – present + present, first – present + will + infinitive, second
– simple past + would + infinitive, third – past perfect + would have + past
participle).
Directions: Read each item carefully. Pay attention to the structure of the
underlined verbs. Write the letter that corresponds to your answer.
_____1. If I wash my hands always with soap and water and eat vegetables, I
will keep myself away from getting sick. Which conditional is this?

Lesson 2 Recognizing conditionals
In this module, you will learn about conditional and its types. We use
conditionals to show that something is true only when something else is
true. Conditionals offer endless possibilities for creative
and imaginative expression.

conditionals/2778457.html)
In the activity that follows, you will discover how effective sentences
with conditional in arguments are. Likewise, you need to focus on the
structure of the given statements.
What’s In
Read and analyze the chain poem below. What do you notice?
19
What’s New
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If
Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause
(without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is
fulfilled. https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/conditional-sentences
Conditionals describe the result of a certain condition. The order of
the clauses does not change the meaning.
Example:
If clause (condition) main clause (result)
If I read newspaper, I become informed.
This is the basic structure of the different types of conditional.

Example:
1. If it rains, the streets get wet.
2. If I work late, I stay here.
20
➢ FIRST CONDITIONAL – is used to show possibilities in the present or
in the future. The first conditional is used to talk about things which
are possible in the present or the future – things that may happen.
Example:
1. If Shiela follows the guidelines well, she will finish the online
application early.
2. If my parents get a good harvest this season, they will send me to
college.
Example:
1. If I took the test on time, I would have obtained better score.
2. If Marco left early, he would have taken the first bus.
Example:
1. If Louise had studied harder, he would have passed the
examination.
2. If I had found you in the cafe, I would have given you these flowers.
Remember that the use of modals would, could and might in third
degree conditionals vary only in the percentage of the possibility of
its occurrence.
What is it
Let’s try!
