Unit 6: Going Green. Grammar! 2/2


Hoy vamos a ver una cosa muy importante en inglés: ¡las condicionales! Y como es muy importante, la explicación va a estar en español; pero no os acostumbréis, ¿eh? 😜
Primero, tenemos que tener claro qué es una condicional, tanto en inglés como en español. Una condicional es un tipo de frase que se usa para expresar acciones o situaciones hipotéticas; es decir, no estamos hablando de la realidad, sino de lo que podría pasar si se dan unas condiciones concretas. Ejemplos:
“Si estudias mucho, aprobarás el curso”.
“Si fuera más alta, jugaría al baloncesto”.
Como vemos en los ejemplos, el uso del condicional significa que una acción depende de otra. Los condicionales se utilizan para hablar sobre situaciones reales o irreales. En general, las frases condicionales llevan la palabra “if” (literalmente, “si”, ¡pero el que no lleva acento!).
Ten en cuenta que no existe un tiempo verbal para el condicional en inglés como existe en español. A la vez, se usa el verbo auxiliar “would” para formar el condicional en inglés.
Hay cuatro tipos de condicionales, ¡pero nosotros solo vamos a ver dos! J
First Condicional/Primera condicional
Este tipo de condicional se utiliza para el futuro y en los casos en que es muy probable que la condición pasará. Se forma con If + subject + present simple + subject + future simple
If
Condition
Result
If
Present Simple
Future Simple (“will”)

Examples!
If Bill studies, he will pass the exam. / Bill will pass the exam if he studies.”
(Si Bill estudia, aprobará el examen. / Bill aprobará el examen si (él) estudia.”)
 If it doesn’t rain, we will go to the beach. / We will go to the beach if it doesn’t rain.
(Si no llueve, iremos a la playa.                    / Iremos a la playa si no llueve)
 Will you take the train if you miss the bus? / If you miss the bus, will you take the train?
(¿Cogerás el tren si pierdes el bus?                / Si (tú) pierdes el bus, ¿cogerás el tren?)
¡Ojo! Esto es como las matemáticas; puedes poner la frase con will delante o detrás de la frase con if, no altera el resultado. ¡Pero nada de mezclar las dos!
Second Conditional / Segunda Condicional
Este tipo de condicional se usa para expresar una posibilidad irreal en el presente, como un deseo o un sueño, o para una acción en el futuro no tan probable. Se forma con If + sujeto + past simple + sujeto + would + infinitive:
If
Condition
Result
If
Past Simple
Would + infinitive
Examples!
If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world. / I would travel around the world if I won the lottery.
(Si ganara la lotería, viajaría alrededor del mundo.    / (Yo) viajaría alrededor del mundo si ganara la lotería.)
If Rachel had more time, she would learn to play the guitar. / Rachel would learn to play the guitar if she had more time.
(Si Rachel tuviera más tiempo, aprendería a tocar la guitarra. /Rachel aprendería a tocar la guitarra si (ella) tuviera más tiempo.)
Would you be happy if you were to get married? / If you were to get married, would you be happy?
(¿Serías feliz si te casaras?                                             / Si te casaras, ¿serías feliz?)
And now… exercises! You download the explanation and exercises here, or go to Live Worksheets and do them online. In any case, you have until SUNDAY 26 to finish them.

Unit 4: Everyday Life. Grammar!

Subject/Object Questions

Before we start explaining what subject/object questions are, let’s review the difference between a subject and an object.

The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action:

We want some fruit juice.
Karen likes Fred.
Smoking causes cancer.
Daniel made a sandwich.
The earthquake damaged my house.
Jennifer lied to Sam.

The object of a sentence is the person or thing that receives the action:

We want some fruit juice.
Karen likes Fred.
Smoking causes cancer.
Daniel made a sandwich.
The earthquake damaged my house.
Jennifer lied to Sam.

Object Questions in English

Most questions in English are object questions – we want to know about the receiver of the action. These questions follow the QUASM formula: Question word – Auxiliary verb – Subject – Main verb.

For questions in the simple present, the auxiliary verbs are do and does:

What do you want to drink?
We want some fruit juice.

Who does Karen like?
Karen likes Fred.

What does smoking cause?
Smoking causes cancer.

For questions in the simple past, the auxiliary verb is did:

What did Daniel make?
Daniel made a sandwich.

What did the earthquake damage?
The earthquake damaged my house.

Who did Jennifer lie to?
Jennifer lied to Sam.

Subject Questions in English

However, sometimes we want to ask about the subject. We don’t know the person or thing who performed the action, and we want to find out.

This type of question is called a subject question, and subject questions do NOT use the auxiliary verbs do, does, and did.

How to form subject questions:
Who / What + verb in simple present or simple past + object ?


Examples of subject questions in the simple present:

Who wants some fruit juice?
We want some fruit juice.

Who likes Fred?
Karen likes Fred.

What causes cancer?
Smoking causes cancer.

Examples of subject questions in the simple past:

Who made a sandwich?
Daniel made a sandwich.

What damaged your house?
The earthquake damaged my house.

Who lied to Sam?
Jennifer lied to Sam.


When you are going to ask a question in the simple present or simple past using who or what, ask yourself,
“Am I asking about the doer of the action or the receiver of the action?”
If you’re asking about the doer/subject, then DON’T use do/does/did:

Who does want fruit juice?
Who wants fruit juice?
What did damage your house?
What damaged your house?

If you’re asking about the receiver/object, then YES – use do/does/did:

What do you want to drink?
What did the earthquake damage?

And, since practice makes perfect, here you have some exercises to work with!
