(?) What will you do if you dont find a job?
Note:
- We dont use will in the if clause.

- If can be replaced by unless (= if not) or in case

(= because of the possibility ).
-Unless I hear from you, Ill arrive at 8 oclock.
-Ill take my umbrella in case it rains.
 First conditional

The use:
1 First Conditional sentences express a possible
condition and its probable result in the future.
Condition (if clause) Result (result clause)
If I find a jumper that suits you,Ill buy it for you.
If I arrive home early, Ill give you a ring.
If you can find my purse, I might buy you a bicycle.
2 We can use the First Conditional to express
different functions (all of which express a
possible condition and a probable result.)
- If you do that again, Ill kill you! (= a threat)
- Careful ! If you touch that, you Ill burn yourself ! (=
a warning)
- Ill post the letter if you like. (= an offer)
- If you lend me $100, Ill love you forever. (= a

 Second conditional
The use:
1 - We use Second Conditional to express an
unreal situation and its probable result. The
situation or condition is improbable,
impossible, imaginary, or contrary to known
facts.
- If my mother was still alive, shed be very
proud. (But shes dead.)
- If Ted needed any money, Id lend it to him.
(But he doesnt need it.)
2 - Other modal verbs are possible in the result
clause.
-I could buy some new clothes if I had some
money.
-If you wanted that job, youd have to apply
very soon.

 Zero Conditional

If .+ present .+ present

When we have a conditional sentence

with two present tenses, it expresses a
situation that is always true. If means
when or whenever. This is called the
zero conditional. Zero conditional
sentences refer to all time, not just the
present or future.
E.g:
- If I read too much, I get a headache.
- If you drop an egg, it breaks.
 Would rather - Wouldnt mind

Read the example below. Do we use the past

tense forms had and would to refer to past time,
or to show unreality?

- If I had $2 million, I would go round the

world.
Id rather (= I would rather) + infinitive
means the same as Id prefer to
- I dont like studying. Id rather be outside
playing tennis.
I wouldnt mind + noun or ing means I
would (quite) like
- I wouldnt mind a cup of tea.
- I wouldnt mind having a few weeks off
