What I Need to Know

Introduction

Personal motivation and positive disposition in gaining knowledge each day

are the most effective ways to learn English. Thus, studying English rules helps you

acquire whatever aspect of conversational English is most interesting or important

to you at the moment.

This module will allow you to learn how to talk about a result that may occur

if a condition happens. It also offers endless possibilities for creative and imaginative

expression. After which, it will help you talk about imaginary situations and make

possible suggestions.

More importantly, in the latter part of this module, you will be able to critically

situate and be constructive in (1) discussing possibilities in the past, present or

future events/situations, (2) making stand on an issue, and (3) using “if/when” in

an argumentative situation.

Essential Learning Competency:

Use conditionals in expressing arguments. (EN9G-lie-20)

Learning Objectives:

After working on the activities in this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the types of conditionals used in given situations;

2. construct sentences using conditionals in expressing one’s self on different

argumentative circumstances; and

3. show appreciation on the importance of using conditionals in asserting

arguments on social issues.

What’s In

Review

In your previous lesson, you have encountered the use of modals to express

permission, prohibition (not allowing something), and obligation or no obligation. You

were also taught of the different words to be used in each of the given situations.

Directions: Choose the correct modal to complete the sentence from the given

choices. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

1. You ___ come to the meeting but it would help us all if you’re there.

a. couldn’t

b. doesn’t

c. mustn't

d. don't have to

2. I can’t get a connection on my phone. ___ I borrow yours?

a. Do

b. Can

c. Does

d. Have to

3. The rules say that you ___ only invite one guest to the club.

a. can

b. might

c. has to

d. have to

4. I ___ stay on for a few hours because I’d rather work late today than

over the weekend.

a. do

b. must

c. has to

d. have to

5. There’s a lot of noise coming from outside. ___ I close the window?

a. do

b. must

c. could

d. Have to

Now, you have learned that modal is a type of auxiliary or helping verb that is

used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Thus, modal phrases

4

(or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a

combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to.

Well, I hope that the previous discussion has been useful for you and that you

have learned more information about modals. Note that your understanding on them

guides you to express ideas such as permission, advice and future possibilities in

identifying and constructing sentences on CONDITIONALS.

Activity 1: If…Then what?

Let’s practice doing additional exercises that will prepare you to write your

own stand in a given issue. In order to do that, you must first read an excerpt from

the poem entitled “If” by Rudyard Kipling and answer the guide questions below.

And now, let’s get started.

What’s New

If by: Rudyard Kipling - 1865-1936

Taken from A Journey Through Anglo-American Literature

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

My bucket list of ifs….

What are conditionals in English grammar?

Conditionals are sometimes called “if clauses”. They describe the result of

something that might happen (in the present or future) or might have happened but

didn’t (in the past). They are made using different English verb tenses.

There are four types of conditionals

TYPE 1 – Present or Future Real Conditional

The first conditional has the present simple after if, then the future simple

in the other clause:

If + present simple…..will + infinitive

It’s used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we

can’t know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which

could easily come true.

Examples:

a. If you don’t hurry, you will miss the plane.

(It’s about what will happen today, another day might be different.)

b. If she studies harder, she’ll pass the examination.

(It’s possible she will study harder and so she’ll pass.)

What is It

Directions: Answer the following questions. Write your answer on a separate sheet

of paper.

1. What will happen if you can keep your emotions even when you are in stressful situations?

2. What word is common in the poem?

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

6

TYPE 2 – Present Unreal Conditional

The second conditional uses the simple past after if, then would and the

infinitive:

If + Simple past……would + infinitive

It has two uses:

A. We use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to

be true.

Examples:

a. If I had enough money, I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and

a swimming pool.

(I’m probably not going to have much money, it’s just a dream, not

very real.)

b. She would pass the examination if she ever studied.

(She never studies, so this won’t happen.)

B. We use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, but

because it’s not true.

Examples:

a. If I had his number, I would call him.

(I don’t have his number now, so it’s impossible for me to call him.)

b. If I were you, I wouldn’t go out with that man. (but I’m not you,)

TYPE 3- Past Unreal Conditional

We make the third conditional by using the past perfect after if, then would

have and the past participle in the second part of the sentence:

If + past perfect…..would + have + past participle

It talks about the past. It is used to describe a situation that didn’t happen,

and to imagine the result of this situation.

Examples:

a. If she had studied, she would have passed the examination.

(But, really we know she didn’t study and so she didn’t pass.)

b. If I had eaten so much, I wouldn’t have felt sick. (But I did eat a lot, and

so I did feel sick.)

7

ZERO TYPE CONDITIONAL – Present Real Conditional

We can make a zero-conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one

in the if clause and one in the main clause):

If + present simple….present simple

This conditional is used when the result will always happen.

Example:

a. If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can’t be a

different result sometimes.

What’s More

Activity 2: I will do it if…

Directions: Respond to the following argumentative situations below by constructing

sentences using the indicated conditionals. Write your answer on a separate sheet.

A. Present or Future Real Conditional (First Conditional)

What is your mother’s reaction if you will come home late?

B. Present Unreal Conditional (Second Conditional)

What would you buy if you win the bingo

C. Past Unreal Conditional (Third Conditional)

Generalization

Activity 3: Fill me if…

Directions: Complete the paragraph by filling in the missing data taken from the

previous discussion about conditionals. Write your answer on a separate sheet of

paper.

In this lesson, I learned that conditionals are sometimes called

(1)_______________. It helped me talk about (2)_________________________ and

(3)____________________________.

The first conditional or the Present or Future Real Conditional has the

(4)_________________ after if, then the (5)____________ in the other clause. On

the other hand, the second conditional, the Present Unreal Conditional uses

the (6)_______________ after if, then (7)_____________ and the (8)______________.

What I Have Learned

data: image/png;base64

9

We make the third conditional or the Past Unreal Conditional by using

the (9)_______________ after if, then (10)_______________ and the

_______________ in the second part of the sentence or Present Real Conditional.

For the fourth type of conditional which is called the zero-type conditional

sentence, we make it using two (11)_______________________ which is one in

the (12)_______________ and one in the (13)___________________.

It's important to use the correct structure of the different conditional

sentences because (14)_______________________________. Conditional

statements help us to (15) _____________________________________________.

Application

Activity 4: Tell me if…

Directions: Below are important social and environmental issues today. We all

know for a fact that in one way or another, these issues do not only benefit people,

but also bring them harm. Express your stand on each issue using any of the four

(4) types of conditionals in presenting your arguments. Write your answer on

seperate sheet/s.

A. Anti-Terrorism Bill

__________________________________________________________________________________

B. War on drugs

__________________________________________________________________________________

C. Cyberbullying

Additional Activity

Enrichment

Direction: Read the famous poem of the American English poet named Robert Frost

entitled THE ROAD NOT TAKEN that talks about choices in life, whether to go with

the mainstream or go it alone. This poem highlights those times in life when a

decision has to be made.

After reading, construct five (5) grammatically correct conditional sentences

based on the poem. Write your answer on separate sheet.

The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost Taken from English Expressways Textbook for Third Year

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
