Conditionals with modal verbs and imperatives

Conditionals with modal verbs and imperatives

·    We can use modal verbs ( should, can, etc. ) in the main clause of conditionals: If parents want their kids to grow up healthy, they shouldn't protect them so much. But if kids never go outside, they can't learn to look after themselves.

·    We can also use imperatives ( give, don't tell, etc.) in the main clause of conditionals: If you want happy and healthy kids, give them back their freedom. If you come home late, don't wake me up.

·    In these conditionals we use the Present Simple in the if clause: If you need some help, call me.

*We can use other modal verbs ( must, have to, might, etc.) in these types of conditionals: If you don't understand the instructions, you must tell me immediately.

First conditional/Zero conditional

First conditional

Look at the first conditional. Notice the different clauses.

if clause	main clause
( if + Present Simple)	(will/won't + infinitive)
If I start teaching again,	I'll be exhausted after a year

·    The first conditional talks about the result of a possible event or situation in the future.

·    The if clause talks about things that are possible, but not certain: If I start teaching again, I'll be exhausted after a year (maybe I will start teaching again).

   The main clause says that we think the result will be in this situation (I'm sure I will be exhausted after a year).

·    We make the first conditional with: if+ Present Simple, will/won't + infinitive

·    The if clause can be first or second in the sentence: I'll be exhausted after a year if I start teaching again.

·    We often use might in the main clause to mean ' will perhaps': But you might have to wait until next year if you don't apply soon.

·    We can use unless to mean 'if not' in the first conditional: Unless I do it now, I'll be too old. = If I don't do it now, I'll be too old.

Zero conditional; conditionals with modal verbs and imperatives, in case

Zero conditional

·    The zero conditional talks about things that are always true :

If you have children, you worry about them all the time.

·    In the zero conditional both verbs are in the Present Simple: If children stay indoors all the time, they become unfit.

*If and when have the same meaning in the zero conditional: If/When I'm worried, I don't sleep very well.

Zero or first conditional

Compare these sentences:

If the children aren't home by five, I call the school.

This sentence is a zero conditional. It talks about something that is always true.

If the children aren't home by five, I'll call the school.

This sentence is a first conditional. It talks about one specific time in the future.

Reflexive pronouns

Reflexive pronouns

We use reflexive pronouns ( myself, yourself,etc.) when the subject and object are the same people: They can't learn to look after themselves.

We use by myself, by yourself, etc. to mean alone: The dangers of letting your kids you out by themselves are smaller than you might think.

We also use reflexive pronouns to emphasize that we do something instead of someone else doing it for us: Children need to make day-to-day decisions themselves.

subject pronouns	reflexive pronouns
I	myself
you (singular)	yourself
he	himself
she	herself
it	itself
we	ourselves
you (plural)	yourselves
they	themselves

*Some verbs that are reflexive in other languages aren't reflexive in English, for example meet,relax and feel.

*We can say on my own, on your own, etc. instead of by myself, by yourself,etc: I enjoy living by myself/on my own.

*Notice the difference between themselves and each other.
