“If I eat two hamburgers, I will be full.” Conditionals in English grammar are very confusing! Learn what ‘First Conditionals’ and ‘Zero Conditionals’ are, when we use them, and how we use them correctly! I’ll also teach you the differences between them, so you’ll never confuse them again.
Good teaching . Thanks .
Ronnie, I do love the way you teach. You really rock!!
Lotsa Lav. Mário
You are great,but I would like to learn and understand more about all four conditionals!So,please-hurry up with two other lessons :))))…thanx,in advanced!
I got 5 score out of 5. by the way, Conditionals : If, When, as soon as,by the Time, unless,, are also same as Zero, First Conditinal ?
and If + When, we use as follows as well.
ex : I do not know if this Reseach will bear fruit.
we can use modal in this case, If + S + modal + Verb….?? !!!
What is difference between them ?
We can change the pattern of the conditional. But you can’t put If + modal in the same part of the sentence!
Sub + base if + sub + modal + base…. OR If + sub + base, sub + modal + base.
I am happy if he can come. If he comes, I will be happy!
Thanks a lot. one day I want to try TOEIC Test. Have a nice Weekend. Masa
You are great,but I would like to learn and understand more about how to use away, up, down, out, over. like grow (up) find (out), slow (down) far (away) come (over). and a few more. and thanks for your videos.
Hi Ronnie,
First of all i would like to say that i like your lessons so mach.
I need your advice regarding the following:
when should i say “There is…” and when sould i say – “There are…”
Thankd in advance.
Well, I thinks is an Interesting Lesson…I Didn’t know much about Conditional..So Let’s Practice.
I m from morroco, really a big thanks
that’s good lesson thanks.
I got 5 out 5.
cool 5/5 <3
I scored five out of five!
if I watch EngVid daily, I will fall in love with Ronnie or Emma. pretty lesson ROnnie, have a good day.
Is you’re sentence really correct??? I’m not sure. In fact, BECAUSE I watch EngVid, I MUST fall in love… it’s 100% true, it’s a scientific’s fact. So, I think the correct sentence is :
If I watch EngVid daily, I fall in love with Ronnie.
Don’t forget James :)
Yeah, James is COOL!
I love James too!
I have some mistakes. I am not so good concentration related in questions.
we’re both had the same problem not focus on the question .that’s why i got only 3 correct answer.thanks ronnie
Great lesson , thanks again.
Your lessons are always perfect ! You are a great teacher ! Thank you !
Ronnie, I like your lessons so much. besides being a very good teacher, you are the funniest of all. This makes the classes much more interesting and attractive. keep being like that. Congratulations. bye
Ronnie you are so awesome!! :)

wow a jejemon?
Teach us the other two conditionals =)
Yes, I totally agree. Please teach us the other two conditionals, too.
Jon has a lesson on the other two coming soon!
Hi Ronnie i just want to ask you one question out of the topic, which English would you like the most American or British? ’cause i’ve realized you pronounce many words like British which i love, cause as far as im concerned British English is the best :)
I think British English has too many rules. American English is easier.
Thank you very much for teaching.
If Ronnie is my teacher, I learn a lot of English—>this is scientific
i am also ,,,very true..
Hell yeah! I scored 5 out of 5. Thank you Ronnie mam but i want you to do a lession on some phrasal verb like ‘mess up’ ,freak out, and screw up’ figure out’ and many more like these because whenever i hear these kind of word in any English movie i get kind of confuse so please do a lession on these.
Thanks a lot,it was realy helpful…

I’M REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF.
Thank you for a enjoyable lesson! I understand it!

I hope, I will not make mistake in 0 and 1st conditional.
TC.

I think English is the passport for all over the world.
i scored 5 out 5 therefore i understand zero and firt condition very well
Hi Ronnie, I have always troubles with the conditions, but after this class it becomes very easy!
by the way which are the two others conditionals?
also you have teach us zero and first condition, there exist second or third condition?
thank you again teacher Ronnie
(you have promised to answer!!)
Second conditional = unreal situations in the past or future. If + sub + past tense, sub + would + base verb.
If I had a baby, I would eat it.
Third conditional = unreal PAST situations. If + sub + had + p.p, sub + would have + p.p.
If I had eaten that baby, I would have gone to jail.
I feel like I’m mastering conditional now! thanks to you teacher Ronnie
thank you ronnie:)
if ronnie eats chocolate,she feels better.
thanks 4 the lesson..i need more lessons from your site,these are the best.
It was great, I like the way you teach ma’am ronnie I got always high score in your lesson more power your t

It was great, I’d liked the way you taught ronnie I got always high score in your lesson more power
very much thanks for u for providing this lesson
Ronnie,how are you?
I was a bit confused with the modals before watching this video.Now I can confidently tell you that it is possible for me to use the first two conditionals without any doubt.
I humbly request you to make another video regarding the other two conditionals.
thanks & regards
Deepu
hai ronnie.thank u very much.i like you r teaching style.
Dear Teacher
i did not understand. please give more examples. it is too difficult lesson.
hope you will reply very soon.
Could you make a video teaching how I use (-ness)or examplain by e-mail? for example: gentleness, righteousness, awareness …
You promised Ronnie reply pleeeeease!!!!!
i’m still don’t know how to use has/had/have
Modals are helping verbs? Answer me my dear Ma’am.
Yes, they are.
Hii Ronnie,
I would like to congratulate you for making helpful,informative video lesson for us to help improve our language skills.I always catch new lessons and watch them attentively to get a clear conception of it.Furthermore, I have also developed a habit of reading newspaper everyday to stay connected with the world.When I go through an article in the newspaper, I also concentrate in gathering new words as well as expanding my vocabulary.I not only focus on words, but also look at forming sentences in many different ways.Of late, I am facing some problems relating to formation of adjectives from an action word.I have read a lot of sentences and found that adjectives are actually the third form(past participle form)of a verb .Even though I have this conception which I am not sure of, I heartily request you to make a lesson explaining this aspect of English grammar clearly.This is the utmost request of mine to you.I honestly admit that I get confused with adjectives.I have also written down two sentences below including their explanation based on my knowledge.I request you to identify the errors in them and correct the same too helping me find out my mistakes.
The first sentence reads as:
Ten persons were killed after being struck by lighting.
Expln:The first part of the sentence is in passive voice of simple past tense. It says lightinh killed ten persons.The second part expresses that lighting first struck them before taking their lives.In the second part,the present participle form of the stative verb “to be” has been used as well as an action word following “being” is in its third form.
The same information could easily be given by using past perfect tense,thereby,making the first action in perfect sense and second action in simple past tense.In that case, the original sentence would turn into the following one:
1.Lighting had struck ten persons before it killed them.
2.Lighting killed ten persons after it had struck them.
The above two sentences are in active voice.
1.Ten persons were killed after they had been struck by lighting.
Another sentence could be formed to express the same meaning like as follows:
Having been struck by lighting(passive usage),ten persons were killed(passive usage).
Another way to deliver the same meaning by bringing the second part at the beggining and sending the first part at the end is:
After being struck by lighting,ten persons were killed.
I hope you would check my sentences and correct them too.I also wish you to evaluate my writing skills after going through this short comment.Looking forward to receiving a fast reply
That is not a “short comment”.
Your sentences are correct! Great work! You understand very well!

Hello dear Ronnie.
GOOD1!
Hi, Ronnie! Great lesson as usual!))) Well done!
I have but one question: what about mixed conditional? Among all white spots in my “English grammar profile” this one is probably one of the biggest… Could you explain to me what mixed conditionals are, whether they’re used in spoken English and what their grammar pattern is.
Oh, and one more=) What if I’m 100% sure of something but it’s not a scientific fact? For instance: If I come home late, I don’t do my homework. Is it ok?
Thank you in advance!;) Looking forward for more exciting lessons of yours)
If you are 100% of something you can use Zero conditional!
to help you with mixed conditionals….

Hi Ronnie,
What is the meaning of “DOs & DON’Ts ” and where i can use it…
Thanks
Do = good things.
Don’t = bad things.
We use these to make a list when we are giving advice!
Please put a video about Second conditional I will be very grateful
thanks
could you say (hi for our friend sasa from Palestine) in your next video, please ?
thanks for the lesson
Assume the tongue tip doesn’t touch the lower teeth back in producing an “[i]” .
Does the tongue tip touch the lower teeth back when we say “tea[ti]” ?
Your tongue starts behind the upper teeth and stops just below (middle of your mouth)!
Hi Ronnie, first I have to say your lessons are amazing and funny..thank you for your help.
I have one suggestion, I didn’t see here some lesson about the difference between EITHER AND NEITHER.
so, if it is possible…please bring to us some explanation.
Tks..
There is already a lesson by Alex on Either and Neither. Just search on the site!
Hi Ronnie, it’s true…thanks.
ronnie thanks for your all lessons… they’re very useful.. ı have a problem about speaking… ı’m from turkey and we’re learning brtish eng.. as you know that brtsh eng. is too hard to catch on easly… so ı am suffering from lack of speaking fluently.. can u give me an advice about what ı should do?
Just try to speak! You can also watch American movies/tv shows to help you! Also, going to an English speaking country will help you SO much!
Thank you so much, Ronnie. I am a Spanish speaker, but I teach English in Costa Rica. This lesson has clear some doubts I had!!!!!!!!
I remember first lesson in engvid was your lesson you made me smile from depth heart ,thank you ,of course with all respect to you
Thank you so much, Monika from Hungary.
Ronnie I have an interview in an English conversation course to know in which level would I be, so can you just give me any tips to do well in the exam, usually the exam is speaking with some and writing a composition
When you are asked a question and you do not understand, just ask the person to clarify the question. A lot of students make mistakes because they do not answer the question correctly.
Don’t be afraid to make a mistake! Even if you do, just try to correct it!
When you have finished the writing portion, if you have time, check your work!
Good luck!
mem you are fabulous teacher. i like your teaching.
what is difference between no and not??
NO + noun.
Not + adjective/adverb/verb.
Hi Ronnie! I’m a little bit confused((( Is it correct? “When we’ll have completed the school we’ll enter the University” Or I have to use present simple tense in the first part of the sentence? Thanks in advance!
When we have completed school, we will enter University.
Hi ronnie
I’ll study in USA next month and my level right now is intermediate
with your experiences do you think that six month will be enough to get 90 in TOEFL or 6.5 in IELTS ?
and what do you think is easier ?
I have no idea…everyone learns at a different rate. I am sure if you study hard and try your best you WILL pass! Good luck!
Hi, Ronnie. I would like to make a small correction. We do NOT use the base form in the zero conditional. We use the Simple Present form of the verb in the zero conditional. Your statement that it is a base verb is wrong, as the base form does not accept any tenses, but the verb had an “s” in your sentence in the zero conditional. So, it is better to say that the verbs are in the Present Simple form in the zero conditional.Thanks.
hi ronnie how r u?i wanna to know how to use past and present perfect?
Amazing! you are really helped me in many lessons .. Thank you so much
Hi,Ronnie!Thank you very much for the video!
Could you,please,explain me the difference between using “slightly” and “a little”?

thanks for the video,.. hope you have a great future for giving these for free
Hi Ronnie,
I am back again with some confusing sentences.I have written them below and I want you to help me identify the parts of speech of each word which I have CAPITALIZED in the sentences.
1.The concept is ILLUSTRATED/DEMONSTRATED/DESCRIBED.
2.Each use is EXAMINED.
3.It is MENTIONED/INCLUDED/DECLARED.
4.It is SHOWN/GIVEN.
I guess all of the capitalized(I have used this word as an adjective because the verb form is “to capitalize”, and according to the rule, I can turn it to an adjective by adding “ed” at the end.If my cocept is incorrect, I request you to clarify me the actual concept.) words must be adjectives.In this context, they can’t be verbs.If they are verbs,the sentences become meaningless because they sentences do not indicate a process carried out to reach to a solution.
I want you to check my understanding.
Looking forward to getting a positive response.
hi Ronnie,i’m a student.i have a question for you.can you tell me how to write a good paragraph.

Hi Ronnie,
You Rock……….. I wish, I had teachers like you,when i was a young student. I wanted to know that English spoken by native speakers is fraught with slangs, informal words, and incorrect usages at times( eg. Based on your behavior last night, I am upset with you).
How to address these problems when we speak to the natives of English Speaking countries…..
Everything that comes out of a cow is not milk, isn’t it???????

Teacher Ronnie thank you for you lessons. I would like to learn how to construct a complete sentence. I have a hard time writing verb sentence agreement and organizing a paragraphs. Well I have a lot difficulties in English because is not my native language. I hope you can teach me writing skills.
Dear Ronni, thanks a lot for you lesson,
I would like to know what is the difference between the base verb and the infinitive.
Infinitive = to + base verb.
Base verb you have to add “s” with he/she/it.
Thanks a lot teacher, you are the one!

Hi,Ronnie I wanna ask you that I’m unable to judge myself Am I really fleunt or not so is there any way by which I can understand that Am I really fleunt or need to learn more and prctiice more .Thanks for such beautiful lectures
I think that if you can talk to native speakers at the same pace that they do it would be a good indication of your fluency. However, it is hard to judge yourself!
thanks alot ! i love you
Thanks a lot,I always wanted to know about zero conditional sentences.I understood it well.

hi ma’am. where do we use conditonals and what are the other 2 conditionals??
Thanks Ronnie
Thanks Ronnie. I really enjoy your classes.
HI Ms.Ronnie
“Had I known about your illness,I would
have written before.”
I don`t feel comfotable with the structure of this sentence.
Is any thing wrong with the first clause? in another way,”Had I known” is correct?,or I should say,”If I had known about…” OF COURSE I WOULD NEVER WISH THAT TO YOU.BUT I READ THIS SENTENCE AS IT IS,I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAPPY&HEALTHY LIFE.
We do indeed say “Had I known…… so your sentence is correct.
You can also use “if” at the beginning of the sentence! If I had known…..
Hi Ronnie first of all thanks for teach us English the way you do, May God bless you always . Ronnie I got a question related to the FIRST CONDITIONAL : Can we use the modals MUST, HAVE TO, HAVE GOT TO (GOTTA) , I ask you because some teachers said First Conditional is the REAL FUTURE CONDITIONAL (I guees because most of the time use WILL) to give you some examples I found the following conditionals (by the sitcom 2&12 men):
1.- If you’re not gonna come, you GOTTA tell Jake yourself.
2.- If you want to play in this league, you HAVE TO make a few changes.
3.- if you want to stay in that house, then I HAVE TO live here to save money.
4.- If She’s ever in a coma, you’re the one who HAS TO decide to pull the plug.
So it is usually use the modals MUST, HAVE TO, HAVE GOT TO when we make the First Conditional? and this modals (modals of necessity and obligation) work with a “future” meaning in the Conditional clause ?. thanks
You are 100% correct! That is fantastic that you were able to spot these in tv shows!
First conditional is used when you THINK/BELIEVE something will happen (but there is a chance that it may not happen)! Keep up the great work!
If you watch Ronnie’s lesson, you won’t forget zero and first conditionals. (This is first conditional grammatically but zero conditional logically. :)
Thank you Ronnie!
Now, i know the use of modal and conditionals grammar. Thank you so much to your video.
Dear Ronnie! Thank you very much! Your lessons are very helpful and your explanations are simple, clear and unforgettable. Great!

Hi Ronnie, the lesson was very productive, but I have a little request – do you may use more examples in lessons it really help to understand more deeper.
“0 – If you drive many years, you improve your drive skills
0 – If you fly to Africa, you get few of vaccinations
1 – When I go home after work, I will rest for some time
1 – If you drink a lot of water in the summer, you might not get sunstroke”

Hi,

hi Ronni,
how r u ??
Ronni Iam really confused with an answer to a previous question that can and would r modals why don`t we use them and your answer was that we can use can but we can not use would because would is past model and my question is could is past model too and u told that we use it !!! any explanation please ?????
ohh ronni
I want something else can u tell me if there is anything wrong in my two comments like grammar points or spelling
thanks alot ronni
I like the lessons ,gracias(thanks)
hi Ronnie thanks for your teach English your pronunciation is very very nice .
can i talk with you direct by mobile phone or connect by internet online?
Hi Ronnie! It was really useful!
I still have a question.
For first conditional, after the modal, do we have to add the “s” when the subject is “he”, “she” or “it”?
For instance:
If it rains, he could uses an unmbrella.
or
If it rains, he could use an unmbrella.
I think the second one is the correct but it is my eternal doubt :)
Thanks a lot again!!
THANK YOU RONNI, I LOVE YOU ENGLISH CLASS, YOU ARE VERY FUNNY, I LOVE YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!
I think you like drink strong alkohol
and of course thanks great lesson
please I need help with the conditional sentences. thanks
Thank you, Ronnie. I learned about Zero Conditional from your lesson. I also learned that not only “will” can be in First Conditional. Will means future. The action will happen in the future. What about might and may? What’s the difference between the sentences bellow?
If you invite me to the party, I may come there.
If you invite me to the party, I might come there.
If you invite me to the party, I could come there.
Now, look here please.
I could go to park, if it stopped raining.
This is the Second Condition, and I use modal verb “could”.
hi misses ronnie thank you for the lessons i like your lessons alot , if they was teachers like u in my university we will understand fast , i want ask you about conditional with modals , i have it in re sit exam , we study modals which are in conditional , so i want ask you if we can put the modals in the other conditional second or third or just in the first conditional ? and thank u alot
Second conditional = unreal situations in the past or future. If + sub + past tense, sub + would + base verb.
If I had a baby, I would eat it. Would is a modal!
Third conditional = unreal PAST situations. If + sub + had + p.p, sub + would have + p.p.
If I had eaten that baby, I would have gone to jail. Would is a modal!
May, might = 60% sure.
Could =40% sure.
You can use ANY modal in first conditional!
thank you so much for that , that help me alot to understand the lessons , thanks you again ms Ronnie
Thank you very much.Your lesson is very funny.Best Regards-Ronnie.
Hi Ronnie! I like your lessons. I’ve got something to ask from you. Could you explain would’s use? What is the difference between would and should? Ex: That would be a book. What does this sentence mean? I’m looking forward to hearing you. Thanks.
Hi Ronnie!
Firstly, I really like your lesson!
But I´ve a question for you: can I also use “would” as a modal?
Greetings, Gyndastyle. :D
Can u give me links for second and third conditionlas?
Go to “search” at the top of the page and type in conditionals!
Hi Ronnie!
I love your lessons, the way you are teaching us, your personality!!! You’re great
can i use would in the first conditional ????
No! You can only use a present tense modal!
Would is 2nd conditional!

Hello Ronnie. I’m an english teacher, here in Brazil and I want to ask you if I can put portuguese subscribes in your videos, so my students can learn with you!
And I love you SO MUCH!
hi Ronni
i have a lot of problems in writing can you advice me
Thank you, teacher Ronnie. Could you please talk about traffic signs in a lesson?
Thanks, teacher.
thank you very much ms:Ronnie
thank u very much.Iam happy .
It’s so easy now. Thank you Ronnie.
To the very end of the video at 6:45 you said: “sub + modal + base verb” –> I think there should not be a “base vert” but infinitive –> he/she/it does not get “s” at the end of a verb.
thank you for a good teaching us

5 correct out of 5 – Thomas from Poland
hello i’m confused about the type of conditional in this sentence
If you don’t stop making noise i turn off the tv or I’ll turn off the tv ?? !!
Hi! Both are correct.The main sentence can be present or future time. The requirement is that the conditional sentence (begin with “if”)to be in the present tense.
hi ronnie
I have a Q…
what about if+PRESENT simple+ imperative.
does it have the same meaning with first conditional.
thnx in advance.
Isnt first conditional If+sub+base verb….,sub. + will ( future tense??
Hi! I didn’t learn about zero or first conditional. I know that, if the main sentence is in present, future or imperative, then, the requirement is that the conditional sentence (begin with “if”) to be in the present tense.
Hi, teacher Ronnie first of I want thank your great teaching ,second I have alittle confusion U said that we cant use WOULD but we can use COULD inspite of both of them are past may I know the difference please thank you very much indeed.
Hi teacher Ronnie first i would like to thank you for your great effort, second I have a little confusion about U said that we can use COULD but we cant use WOULD inspite of both are past , correct me if wrong thank U cery much indeed.
About zero conditionals…I have books around me and I cannot find answers…different info in each of them. About tenses in zero conditional: Book No 1 – you can use present csimple, continuous or present perfect. Book No 2 – you can use just simple present in both clauses 3 you can use present simple/continuous,perfect in if clause but in the result clause, there can only be the present simple or imperative. Where is the truth????
Hi Ronnie, congratulations!!! Your classes are very nice! I love your lessons! You are many clearly!
I`m Brazilian student and my teacher recommended this web site. I´m liking a lot…

Thank you for the lessson. Your explanation of english grammar rules is very good.
Efim – from Moscow.
great job Ronnie …
That is a fantastic explain
But I have question about conditional
Can I change the place for the sentences
like..
If you come my apartment, I will make dinner.
I will make dinner if you come my apartment.
And you side in your lesson
Zero for something 100 is true, and First for some thing might happen.
What about second and third..?
Hi Ronnie,
our English teacher told us, the Zero-Conditional is the “general truth”.
He used the same sentence in all 4 conditionals:
If I am thirsty, I have some beer. – (General truth).-
If I am thirsty, I’ll have some beer. –
If I was thirsty, I’d have some beer. –
If I had been thirsty, I’d have had some beer.
All students (most of them) understood in taht lesson the conditional.You are very good teacher, but our taecher is the best.
5/5 Thanks, Ronnie!
thank you Ronnie!!!! I’ve made my zero and first conditional for 6!!!
thanks to you:D
help me present perfect vs past simple killing me
80%. Thanks Ronnie
Ronnie Mam.I have got 80/100.So,not bad
so cool! thank you :)
Ronnie, I have two questions, please answer. You say that there are 4 conditionals, but I have seen one called: mixed conditional, could you do a lesson for the mixed one? thanks. And the other question is where are these school from? It is from Canada or England ?? Help me please :) thanks
