Welcome to Speak English Now podcast with your host Georgiana, the podcast that will help you

to speak English fluently with no grammar and no textbooks.

Today I'll talk about how to use conditionals in English.

We'll practice them with a point of view story.

Okay, let's get started. I'm going to review the different conditionals in English. I don't

the conditionals is by using the point-of-use story technique. Conditionals in English aren't complicated.

I'm going to give you some examples. We'll start with zero conditional.

Here we talk about things which are always true.

For example, if you heat water, it boils.

If you heat ice, it melts.

If it rains, the grass gets wet.

We use the first conditional when we talk about a probable result.

For example, if you study more, you'll pass the exam.

If I have time, I'll help you.

We use the second conditional in case we want to express less probability.

I know you're busy, but if you went to the cinema, you would enjoy the new Star Trek movie.

If you studied more, you'd pass the exam.

But if you went, then you'd like the movie.

In the second example happens the same.
