Conditionals Exercise Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have happened, and what we wish would happen. In English, most sentences using the conditional contain the word if. Many conditional forms in English are used in sentences that include verbs in one of the past tenses. This usage is referred to as "the unreal past" because we use a past tense but we are not actually referring to something that happened in the past. There are five main ways of constructing conditional sentences in English. In all cases, these sentences are made up of an if clause and a main clause. In many negative conditional sentences, there is an equivalent sentence construction using "unless" instead of "if". Check out: bit.ly/2mIBOY5Plan an exercise around one conditional.

Information grammar point:
First Conditional
We use the first conditional in English to talk about likely situations and to describe the results.
If you visit Kyoto, you will see many beautiful temples. If you don’t read a newspaper, you won’t know what is going on in the world.
To make a first conditional sentence, use if + simple present to talk about the likely situation…
If you visit Kyoto… If you read a newspaper…
…and use will or won’t to describe the result.
… you will see many beautiful temples. … you will know what is going on in the world.
Study these examples:
If I visit my mother and father, they will give me money. If I exercise everyday, I will be healthy.
If you take the train everyday, you will save energy. If you build a new house, you will spend lots of money.
