Conditional:
0.                  Always

b.      If [present], [present].
·         If I smell bad, I take a shower.
·         If I go to Costco, I buy too much stuff.
·         If I have free time, I always watch tv.
·         If I get up early, I do yoga.
·         If I go home, I turn on the tv first.
·         If I go for a walk, I always take a key.
·         If I feel sleepy, I always buy a cup of coffee.
·         If it rains, I get wet.
·         If I’m hungry, I eat.

1.                  First                                  
a.      If + present, will (real and future)
·         If I marry a rich guy, I will travel the world.
·         If I find $100 under my sofa, I will not tell my family.
·         If I touch the alligator’s tooth, he will bite me.
·         If the weather is nice next weekend, I will go to the park.
·         If I speak Chinese in Stephen’s class, I will give a presentation.

2.                  Second                 
a.      If + past, would (not likely/ not real)
·         If I had 3 husbands, I would never do housework.

** Sometimes the difference between 2nd and 3rd conditional is only about how likely we think something is.

Old sick people say, “If I die, my sister will get my house.”
