Conditional type 0,1,2

www.sites.google.com/site/neworks2030 


1.      Zero conditional:

        When you heat ice, it melts/ if you heat ice, it melts

Form: When/ If + S +  verb in the present simple, S + verb in the present simple

Use: Zero conditional is used to express a fact or a general issue.

2.      Conditional type :“I”:

        If I have money, I will buy a car.

Form: if + S + Verb in the present simple, S + will + infinitive of the verb

Use: conditional type “I” is used to indicate that something is possible and also very likely to be fulfilled in the future.

3.      Conditional type: “II”:

        If I had money, I would/ could/ might buy a car.

Form: If + S + Verb in the past simple, S + would/ could/ might ….+ infinitive of the verb

Use: conditional type “II” is used to indicate that something is possible, but very unlikely to be fulfilled at present time.

4.      The difference between “when” and “if” in conditional sentences:

“If” is used for something that, according to the speaker might happen (he is not sure).

e.g: we can spend the afternoon on the beach if the weather is fine.

 “When” is used for something that, according to the speaker, will happen (he is sure).

e.g: I will clean up the kitchen right away when I’m back from work.

The passive voice


The passive voice

www.sites.google.com/site/neworks2030 


1)      Use of the passive voice:
a)      We use the passive voice when we want to focus on the action rather than who is doing the action.
e.g: Three apples are eaten by Ahmed
b)      The passive voice is used when what or who causes the action is unknown or unimportant
e.g: Three apples are eaten    
2)      Active tenses and their passive equivalents:


Tenses
Active form
Passive form
Simple present
Jane  writes a letter/ letters
S
A letter is written
P
 letters are written
Present continuous
Jane is writing a letter/ letters
S
A letter is being written
P
 letters are being written
Simple past
Jane wrote a letter / letters
S
A letter was written
P
Letters were written
Past continuous
Jane was writing a letter / letters
S
A letter was being written
P
Letters were being written
Present  perfect simple
Jane has written a letter/ letters
S
A letter has been written
P
Letters have been written
Past perfect simple
Jane had written a letter / letters
S
A letter had been written
P
Letters had been written
future
Jane will write a letter/ letters
S
A letter will be written
P
Letters will be written


3)      With modals (must, may, should, would, could, might…….) the passive is formed in this way:
Modal+ be + the past participle of the verb
e.g:  you must pay the bill    
  the bill must be paid
you should respect your teacher   
your teacher should be respected
4)      With verbs such as “say, think, believe, assume, show, consider, expect, require….” The passive is formed in two ways :
e.g: people say that mobile phones are harmful to children’s health
- It is said/ believed/ thought that mobile phones are harmful to children’s health.
- Mobile phones are said/ believed/ thought to be harmful to children’s health.

Phrasal verbs


Phrasal verbs

www.sites.google.com/site/neworks2030 


i.            Verb + object + particle (separable)


a)      Phrasal verbs are separable when they are transitive (when they take a direct object)

e.g: -  count out a person                 count a person out

- he takes off his coat                       he takes his coat off

- he takes in his friend                      he takes his friend in


b)      When a direct object is a pronoun, it must be between the verb and the particle.

e.g:  -  count  him out            /         he takes it off     / he takes him in


c)      Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable:

e.g:  - I’m looking for my glasses

        - I ran into my old friend.

        - my mother looks after the children


                    ii.            Verb + particle (not separable):

 some phrasal verbs are not separable when they are intransitive (they do not take a direct object)

e.g:  - I get up at seven

        -  the plane takes off at eight o’clock

Relative pronouns


Relative pronouns

www.sites.google.com/site/neworks2030 



Definition of relative pronoun:

a relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it "relates" to the word that it modifies.  There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that.
Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for things. In non-restrictive relative clauses, that is used for things. In restrictive relative clauses (clauses that are essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information) that can be used for things and people.
