Identify the type of conditional: 'If it rains, the match will be cancelled.'
Answer: First conditional
First conditional (if + present simple, will + infinitive) describes a real possibility in the future.
Complete the third conditional: 'If she ___ harder, she ___ the exam.'
Answer: had studied / would have passed
Third conditional: if + past perfect, would have + past participle — used for unreal past situations.
Which sentence is an example of the zero conditional?
Answer: If you heat ice, it melts.
'If you heat ice, it melts' — zero conditional uses present simple in both clauses to express universal truths.
Choose the correct mixed conditional: 'If I ___ so tired yesterday, I ___ now.'
Answer: hadn't been / would feel better
Mixed conditional: past cause (third conditional if-clause) + present result (second conditional main clause).
Which is correct? 'Unless you hurry, you ___ the bus.'
Answer: will miss
'Unless you hurry, you will miss the bus.' 'Unless' means 'if not', and functions like a first conditional.
Identify the correct sentence with an inverted conditional.
Answer: Both A and B are correct inversions.
Both 'Should you need help' and 'If you should need help' are correct — inversion places the auxiliary verb before the subject.
