ESL Student Activity - English Grammar - Mixed Conditionals



There are also other types of conditional sentence.

1. The Zero Conditional is used for fact; we use two present tense verbs,
"If you ring this number, nobody answers."

2. We can use a present tense verb and an imperative;
"If you need any help, just ask." "If you drink, don't drive."

3. We can use "be going to."
"If it's going to rain, I'd better take my umbrella."

4. We can mix types 2 and 3 (click on our grammar table above)
" If you needed help, you should have asked."
"If he had booked a table earlier, we wouldn't be standing here in a queue."
