FIRST CONDITIONAL GRAMMAR

First Conditional

for real possibility
If I win the lottery, I will buy a car.
We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, it is morning. You are at home. You plan to play tennis this afternoon. But there are some clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do?
ifconditionresult
Present Simplewill + base verb
Ifit rains,will stay at home.
Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky is cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the Present Simple tense to talk about the possible future condition. We use will + base verb to talk about the possible future result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen.
Here are some more examples (do you remember the two basic structures: [ifcondition result] and [result if condition]?):
ifconditionresult
Present Simplewill + base verb
IfI see Mary,I will tell her.
IfTara is free tomorrow,he will invite her.
Ifthey do not pass their exam,their teacher will be sad.
Ifit rains tomorrow,will you stay at home?
Ifit rains tomorrow,what will you do?

Zero Conditional

for certainty
If you heat ice, it melts.
We use the so-called zero conditional when the result of the condition is always true, like a scientific fact.
Take some ice. Put it in a saucepan. Heat the saucepan. What happens? The ice melts (it becomes water). You would be surprised if it did not.
ifconditionresult
Present SimplePresent Simple
Ifyou heat ice,it melts.
Notice that we are thinking about a result that is always true for this condition. The result of the condition is an absolute certainty. We are not thinking about the future or the past, or even the present. We are thinking about a simple fact. We use the Present Simple tense to talk about the condition. We also use the Present Simple tense to talk about the result. The important thing about the zero conditional is that the condition always has the same result.
Look at these example sentences:
ifconditionresult
Present SimplePresent Simple
IfI miss the 8 o'clock bus,I am late for work.
IfI am late for work,my boss gets angry.
Ifpeople don't eat,they get hungry.
Ifyou heat ice,does it melt?

SINCE AND FOR GRAMMAR

For/since

The words for and since are used in sentences where the speaker wants to talk about something that started in the past and continues into the present.
For is used when specifying the amount of time (how long):
  • I've had this watch for more than 40 years.
  • I've only known her for a few weeks.
  • He's been here for 6 months and still can't speak a word of German.
  • She's been smoking for a long time. No wonder she coughs so much!
Since is used when specifying the starting point:
  • I've had this watch since 1965.
  • I've only known her since the beginning of last week.
  • He's been here since April and he still can't speak a word of German.
  • She's been smoking since she started grade 5. No wonder she coughs so much!

GRAMMAR, ALREADY, YET, JUST

ust, yet, still, already

These words are often used with the present perfect tense although yetstill and already can all be used with other tenses.

Just

Just’ is usually used only with the present perfect tense and it means ‘a short time ago’.
  • I’ve just seen Susan coming out of the cinema.
  • Mike’s just called. Can you ring him back please?
  • Have you just taken my pen? Where has it gone?
In the present perfect, ‘just’ comes between the auxiliary verb (‘have’) and the past participle.

Yet

Yet’ is used to talk about something which is expected to happen. It means ‘at any time up to now’. It is used in questions and negatives.
  • Have you finished your homework yet? The speaker expects that the homework will be finished.
  • I haven’t finished it yet. I’ll do it after dinner.
Yet’ usually comes at the end of the sentence.

Still

Still’ is used to talk about something that hasn’t finished – especially when we expected it to finish earlier.
  • I’ve been waiting for over an hour and the bus still hasn’t come.
  • You promised to give me that report yesterday and you still haven’t finished it.
Already

Already’ is used to say that something has happened early – or earlier than it might have happened.
  • I’ve already spent my salary and it’s two weeks before pay day.
  • The train’s already left! What are we going to do?
Already’ usually comes in mid-position.

PRESENT PERFECT IN TV SERIES

PRESENT PERFECT - GRAMMAR

FORM

[has/have + past participle]
Examples:
  • You have seen that movie many times.
  • Have you seen that movie many times?
  • You have not seen that movie many times.

USE 1 Unspecified Time Before Now

We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples:
  • have seen that movie twenty times.
  • I think I have met him once before.
  • There have been many earthquakes in California.
  • People have traveled to the Moon.
  • People have not traveled to Mars.
  • Have you read the book yet?
  • Nobody has ever climbed that mountain.
  • A: Has there ever been a war in the United States?
    B: Yes, there has been a war in the United States.

How Do You Actually Use the Present Perfect?

The concept of "unspecified time" can be very confusing to English learners. It is best to associate Present Perfect with the following topics:

TOPIC 1 Experience

You can use the Present Perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I have the experience of..." You can also use this tense to say that you have never had a certain experience. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.
Examples:
  • have been to France.
    This sentence means that you have had the experience of being in France. Maybe you have been there once, or several times.
  • have been to France three times.
    You can add the number of times at the end of the sentence.
  • have never been to France.
    This sentence means that you have not had the experience of going to France.
  • I think I have seen that movie before.
  • He has never traveled by train.
  • Joan has studied two foreign languages.
  • A: Have you ever met him?
    B: No, I have not met him.

TOPIC 2 Change Over Time

We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.
Examples:
  • You have grown since the last time I saw you.
  • The government has become more interested in arts education.
  • Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies program was established.
  • My English has really improved since I moved to Australia.

TOPIC 3 Accomplishments

We often use the Present Perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.
Examples:
  • Man has walked on the Moon.
  • Our son has learned how to read.
  • Doctors have cured many deadly diseases.
  • Scientists have split the atom.

TOPIC 4 An Uncompleted Action You Are Expecting

We often use the Present Perfect to say that an action which we expected has not happened. Using the Present Perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action to happen.
Examples:
  • James has not finished his homework yet.
  • Susan hasn't mastered Japanese, but she can communicate.
  • Bill has still not arrived.
  • The rain hasn't stopped.

TOPIC 5 Multiple Actions at Different Times

We also use the Present Perfect to talk about several different actions which have occurred in the past at different times. Present Perfect suggests the process is not complete and more actions are possible.
Examples:
  • The army has attacked that city five times.
  • have had four quizzes and five tests so far this semester.
  • We have had many major problems while working on this project.
  • She has talked to several specialists about her problem, but nobody knows why she is sick.
