Unit 7 Conditional Sentences (Type 0-3)

Usage When we want to describe a situation that depends on something else, we can use a conditional. A conditional has two parts - an if-clause and a main clause. We talk about the situation or action in the if-clause and the result in the main clause. фIf you finish your homework,х ΀you can go out and play.΁

фif-clauseх ΀main clause΁

The if-clause can come before the main clause or after it. When we put the if-clause before the main clause, we use a comma to separate the clauses. If I eat too much, I feel sleepy. I feel sleepy if I eat too much.
