conditional
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 A:How is it different? Is the zero conditional and the second and third ones type 1? I think CalifJim told us that the modal 'can' counts as present. 02 br
02 br
00 1.If you can make money, please use the money to help people. 02 br
02 br
00 2. If you can make money, use money to help people. 02 br
02 br
00 3. If you can make money, you will be able to help people. 02 br
02 br
00 Can we use a modal verb like can, may, should in the if-clause or the main clause, as well as going to future or present continuous future, as well as a present perfect in the if-clause for both zero and first conditionals? We can't seem to be able to use all those for type 2 and 3 conditionals. sorry for asking many questions. 02 br
02 br
00 B:Does this mixed conditional show ongoing circumstances in relation to a event happened in the past OR does it indicate a past result by a present hypothetical situation as I thought it was? 02 br
02 br
00 If you weren't such a bad singer, You would have gotten a job as a professional singer. 02 br
02 br
00 If you weren't so occupied with you work, you would have seen him trying to steal your money. 0-
