All of the English Conditionals - Donuts and Diarrhea

in today's video we'll be looking at all of the conditionals that's zero one two three and that mixed one that no one really understands let's begin so let's start with the zero conditional this is a conditional we use for usually facts we want to say this thing is always true for example the facts about me it's always true if I eat donuts I am happy this is an example of the zero conditional again it's always true let's look at the form if I eat donuts the condition if with a present verb the result of that condition is I am happy again that verb is in present so very easy to remember if present results present and again we use this conditional to talk about things which are always true very common when you talk about scientific fats if you heat ice it melts it's always true so let's look at the first conditional now the first conditional talks about real situations things which are likely to happen things which probably will happen for example so in this example it's something real he can see a doughnut and he's saying if I eat that doughnut so it is something real I will be happy now he's using a future because he's not talking about something that always happens he's talking about this situation it's a real situation it's right there he can eat the doughnuts probably will happen so if I eat that doughnut I will be happy let's look at the form the conditional sentence again it's a present verb if with a present verb and the result of that real conditional I will be happy you notice the verb is in a future form I know what you're thinking can I only use will how about going to that's a future form you're right it is and you can just know it's a future form I we'll be I'm going to be happy that is the first conditional again for real situations which probably will happen on to the second conditional now my favorite conditional because we use it to talk about not real situations when you want to use your imagination imagine possibilities this is the conditional to use for example when we imagine things that are not real not possible hypothetical situations then we use the second conditional and the form is this if I were Superman I would be happy I were what the hell shouldn't it be if I was because this situation is not real it's imaginary it's completely not factual we would use what's called the subjunctive mood subjunctive the subjunctive mood of the verb be in the past is were for every pronoun I you he she it doesn't matter it's always were so the condition has a past verb but that doesn't mean this situation means past this just means this is an imaginary situation and it's not real so if you see if with a past verb it just means it's not real the situation well not always stay there the result of that condition is I would be happy that modal verb would that forms the dead dinner second conditional but remember this is not only for not real situations we use it to talk about future possibilities for example he is thinking about the possibility of eating chicken hmm it's possible to eat chicken well there's no chicken in my hand but it is possible I could go to the shop and I could buy some chicken it's a possibility so again he can use that second conditional if I ate chicken I would be happy so again this is not impossible it's just a possibility so that's another way we use second conditional and finally the third conditional remember the guy was thinking of out eating chicken he said if I ate chicken I would be happy well let's imagine that he ate that chicken but it was a bad chicken what happens after that Oh toilet problems so what can he say in this situation he wants to imagine a past where he did not eat that chicken because the chicken made poo happen he's imagining a different past if I had not or the contraction hadn't eaten chicken that's the condition to talk about a different past we need to make that past perfect if I had or had not and the verb 3 or past participle in this case if I had not or hadn't eaten chicken the result of that the imaginary result of that you remember that word which means something imaginary would write this is where it gets interesting so the third conditional is this we've got our if with a past perfect that describes a different past situation that we imagined because it's not real and in the past and the results of that not real imaginary past situation is this I would not what contraction wouldn't have got diarrhea this describes an imaginary result of an imaginary condition in the past so imaginary past condition imaginary past results of that condition look at the grammar what can we see that's our imaginary word would or in the negative would not remember the contraction wouldn't have and a verb 3 past participle hmm if that's a he or an it or she do you think that will be has no why because that's a modal verb therefore that doesn't change its that original verb one form so the whole thing if I had not eaten that chicken I would not have got diarrhea ah and if you don't have diarrhea how do you feel pretty happy right I know I am every day that I don't have diarrhea I'm pretty happy so this is where we can mix the conditionals this sentence talks about how that would affect the past we can use that second conditional grammar to talk about how this affects the present again an imaginary present because we're imagining that that didn't happen right so I would be happy get diarrhea that means you start the diarrhea I'm using the word diarrhea way too much for an English lesson I'm sorry that explains the past in the present we can say I don't have diarrhea now okay how could I say that is an imaginary thing let's use the contraction I wouldn't I wouldn't have diarrhea the whole thing to talk about how this affects the past if I hadn't eaten that chicken I would not have got diarrhea in the past remember get means start the diarrhea to talk about how it affects the present I wouldn't have now diarrhea I'm so sorry the amount of times I use diarrhea in this lesson Jesus Christ so that makes that third conditional and these are examples of a mixed conditional using a past imaginary situation and how it affects the present mmm yeah so that was a very quick explanation of all of the conditionals give you these videos they will show you in much more detail and they're way more fun to watch and there is zero diarrhea in any of them think yeah no there's no diarrhea in any of them I promise if there is you'll get your money back Oh click here to subscribe as well see in the next class
