Getting Your Tricky Conditionals Right I’ve had several questions recently about conditionals. Some of them are from listeners asking about kinds of conditionals called the “first, second, and third conditionals.” Meanwhile, a listener named Lorelai has a different question. She understands English conditionals fairly well, but is uncertain about conditionals like this one: If he died fighting, why didn’t they tell us about it? The dying happened in the past, but, as Lorelai wrote in an e-mail, “shouldn’t conditional clauses that refer to past actions be in past perfect and not past simple?” First, Second, and Third Conditionals Here’s the deal: First conditional, second conditional, and third conditional are not helpful or informative names, and in my opinion they aren’t worth teaching. Conditionals and the Subjunctive Mood You probably expect that if I’m talking about conditionals, I’m going to talk about the subjunctive mood. Present-Time Open Conditional: The Options Are Open Now let’s talk about the past tense.
Random Idea English: Zero Conditional - there's more to it than water boiling at 100°C This is intended to be one of several posts where I take a look at conditionals from a rather different angle. Zero Conditional rarely gets more than a couple of lines in course books; I'm going to look at in rather more detail, and hopefully encourage you to think about its function, not simply its form. 1. Zero conditional - the basic principle The most important thing to note is that Zero conditionals are about conditions which are generally true, NOT about conditions on specific occasions. Zero Conditionals - the classic rule The classic rule often quoted for Zero conditional is if + present simple, ........... present simple Exercise 1 - Match the sentences to their functions below 2. They usually have the same tense in both condition clause and result clause. 3. Although Zero conditionals usually use parallel structures (the same tense in each clause), many experts agree that we can also use modals and imperatives in the result clause of a Zero conditional.

Visualizing Paths The analysis of paths in graphs is highly relevant in many domains. Typically, path-related tasks are performed in node-link layouts. Unfortunately, graph layouts often do not scale to the size of many real world networks. Also, many networks are multivariate, i.e., contain rich attribute sets associated with the nodes and edges. These attributes are often critical in judging paths, but directly visualizing attributes in a graph layout exacerbates the scalability problem. With Pathfinder, we present visual analysis solutions dedicated to path-related tasks in large and highly multivariate graphs. Pathfinder is designed to scale to graphs with tens of thousands of nodes and edges by employing strategies such as incremental query results.
Weird Conditionals: If-Clauses That Are Always True Page 1 of 3 Today’s topic is the funny case of a special kind of if-clause, which is also a conditional mood construction. It’s special because where we expect that one part of the sentence must be true in order for the other part to be true, it logically can’t be so. When taken literally or interpreted as the unintended non-sequitur, these constructions can be funny. For example, a comedian named Demetri Martin once joked about a shop clerk who led him to the changing room having a "conditional identity" because she said, “If you need anything, I’m Jill.” (6). The Conditional Mood Is Expressed with Modal Auxiliary Verbs A language mood is like an attitude that is expressed with grammar or with words, and the conditional mood expresses probability, possibility, and also the fact that some things cause or lead to other things. (1) Kindness should be rewarded. That one expresses an opinion. (2) We could take the day off today. That one expresses possibility, or an option. Pages

Conditionals: other expressions ( unless, should, as long as ) - English Grammar Today - Cambridge Dictionary Conditional clauses can begin with unless. Unless means something similar to ‘if … not’ or ‘except if’. The verb forms in the examples are similar to sentences with if: we use the present simple in the unless-clause and shall, should, will, would, can, could, may or might in the main clause: Unless I phone you, you can assume the train’s on time. (If I do not phone you /except if I phone you, you can assume the train is on time.) We’ll have to cancel the show unless we sell more tickets at the last minute. Warning: We don’t use unless for impossible conditions: If the government had not raised food prices, there would not have been so many protests. Not: Unless the government had raised food prices … We don’t use unless and if together: We’ll go to the coast tomorrow unless it rains. Not: We’ll go to the coast tomorrow unless if it rains. In formal situations, we can use should + subject (s) + verb (v) instead of if: Had I known you were waiting outside, I would have invited you to come in.
