Hello. Today we are going to complete these sentences by matching them with the correct conditional phrases. This is a great way to review the three types of conditional sentences in English.
Conditional Sentences
To solve this, we need to look at the tense of the main clause to determine which conditional type to use.
| Conditional Type | Main Clause Structure | If Clause Structure |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | will + base verb | present simple |
| Type 2 | would + base verb | past simple |
| Type 3 | would have + past participle | past perfect |
Let's look at the first sentence: Bob would marry Susan. The phrase 'would marry' tells us this is a second conditional.
Sentence 1
Since it's a second conditional, the 'if' clause must be in the past simple tense. Looking at our options, 'if she loved him' is the past simple form.
Now for the second sentence: Bob will marry Susan. The use of 'will' indicates a first conditional, which refers to a real possibility.
