Let's Imagine

Conditional Sentences1. We use conditional Sentences to imagine future and past events. We try to think how the future or past would be.2. In order to do this we create sentences using the particles If, wether or unless3. The four different types of conditional structures depend on the level of posibility they mean. So:(0) SURE(1) POSIBLE(2) NOT REALLY PROBABLE(3) IMPOSIBLE

I'm imagining the future

Zero Type (0)

1. With this Zero type the things I imagine are 100% sure. This means they will happen as I say in the future.2. The tense relation that we use is the same we have in Spanish for this type of sentences. Present---------Present3. This type of sentences can sometimes be introduced by When
