Conditional Sentences (Frases condicionales)

El uso del condicional significa que una accin depende de otra. Los
condicionales se utilizan para hablar sobre situaciones reales o
irreales. En general, las frases condicionales llevan la palabra "if" (si).
Ten en cuenta que no existe un tiempo verbal para el condicional en
ingls como existe en espaol. A la vez, se usa el verbo auxiliar
"would" para formar el condicional en ingls.
Hay cuatro tipos de frases condicionales y el uso de uno u otro refleja la
probabilidad de la accin.
Conditional Types (Tipos de los condicionales)
Zero Conditional (Tipo 0)
Se usa este tipo de condicional cuando la condicin y el resultado
siempre es verdad, como por ejemplo los hechos cientficos.
IF Condition Result
If Present simple Present simple
Ejemplos:
If you heat water to 100 C, it boils. / Water boils if you heat it to
100 C. (Si calientas agua a 100 C hierve.)

If I don't practice the piano everyday I play poorly. / I play the piano
poorly if I don't practice everyday. (Si no practico el piano cada da
toco mal.)

Does your mom get mad if you don't call her? / If you don't call your
mom, does she getmad? (Si no llamas a tu madre, se enoja?)

Nota: Podemos cambiar el orden de las frases sin cambiar el
significado. Tambin, en general con este tipo de condicional, podemos
sustituir "if" por "when" sin alterar el significado.




First Conditional (Tipo 1)
Este tipo de condicional se utiliza para el futuro y en los casos en que es
muy probable que la condicin pasar.
IF Condition Result
If Present simple
Future simple
("will")
Ejemplos:
If Bill studies, he will pass the exam. / Bill will pass the
exam if he studies. (Si Bill estudia, aprobar el examen.)

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.)

Will you take the train if you miss the bus? / If you miss the
bus, will you take the train?(Cogers el tren si pierdes el bus?)

Nota: Se pueden usar algunos verbos modales en vez de "will" para
cambiar la probabilidad o expresar una opinin. Para ms informacin,
ver la leccin sobre los verbos modales.
Ejemplos:

If it doesn't rain, we may go to the beach. [*Con el uso de "may", el
significado de esta frase cambia. Ahora, el hablante reconoce que puede
ir a la playa pero no esta tan seguro de si ir.]

If it doesn't rain we should go to the beach. [*En este caso, el uso de
"should" expresa la opinin del hablante.]

If it doesn't rain we can go to the beach.["Can" significa que es posible
ir a la playa, pero no indica la probabilidad.]
Second Conditional (Tipo 2)
Se utiliza el tipo 2 para expresar una posibilidad irreal en el presente,
como un deseo o un sueo, o para una accin en el futuro no tan
probable.
IF Condition Result
If Past simple
"Would" +
infinitivo

Ejemplos:
If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world. / I would
travel around the world if Iwon the lottery. (Si ganara la lotera,
viajara alrededor del mundo.)

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 ms tiempo, aprendera a tocar la guitarra.)

Would you be happy if you were to get married? / If you were to get
married, would you behappy? (Estaras feliz si te casaras?)
Nota: Como en el tipo 1, se pueden usar otros verbos modales en vez
de "would" para cambiar el significado y la posibilidad.
Third Conditional (Tipo 3)
A diferencia a los tipos 1 y 2, se utiliza el tercer tipo de condicional
cuando hablamos de una condicin en el pasado que no ha sucedido.
IF Condition Result
If Past perfect
"Would have" + past
participle
Ejemplos:

If I had known then what I know now, I would have done things
differently. / I would have done things differently if I had
known then what I know now. (Si hubiera sabido en el pasado lo que
s ahora, hubiera hecho las cosas de manera diferente.)

Suzanne wouldn't have had the heart attack if she had gone on a
diet as her doctor recommended. / If Suzanne had gone on a diet as
her doctor recommended she wouldn't have had the heart
attack. (Suzanne no hubiera tenido el infarto si hubiera hecho dieta
como su mdico le recomend.)

Would you have liked to go to university if you had been able to
afford it? / If you had been able to afford it, would you have liked to
go to university? (Te hubiera gustado ir a la universidad si te lo
hubieras permitido pagar?)
Nota: Como en los tipos 1 y 2, se pueden usar otros verbos modales en
vez de "would" para cambiar el significado y la probabilidad.

Uses (Usos)
A diferencia del futuro simple, las dos formas del futuro continuo
significan casi lo mismo y son intercambiables. Tambin, los usos del
futuro continuo son los mismos del pasado continuo, en que se usa para
acciones que pasarn en un momento especifico, pero en el futuro.
1. El futuro continuo lo utilizamos para una accin larga que pasar
en el futuro y ser interrumpida. La accin que se interrumpe est
en el futuro continuo y la accin que provoca la interrupcin est en
el presente simple.
o Ejemplos:
Jose will be [is going to be] watching the news when you call. (Jose
estar mirando las noticias cuando le llames.)
Will it be [Is it going to be] raining when l leave? (Estar lloviendo
cuando salga?)
2. Se usa el futuro continuo para hablar sobre acciones en un
tiempo especfico en el futuro.
o Ejemplos:
Paula will be [is going to be] living in Spain next April. (Paula estar
viviendo en Espaa el prximo abril.)
We'll still be working [We're still going to be working] at 10 o'clock
tomorrow night.(Todava estaremos trabajando a las 10 maana por la
noche.)
Nota: Ten en cuenta que hay verbos que no solemos usar en los
tiempos continuos. Ver una lista y explicacin aqu.

Continuous Verb Tenses (Tiempos
continuos de los verbos)
A continuacin tenemos la lista de los verbos que no podemos usar en
los tiempos continuos. La lista se encuentra clasificada en grupos segn
el tipo. En general, son verbos estticos y no de actividad (dinmicos).
Algunos de estos verbos pueden tener dos significados, uno de accin y
otro esttico. Si hay ms de un significado para un mismo verbo,
encontrars el significado que no podemos usar en los tiempos
continuos con la traduccin al espaol.
1. Los verbos de sentido:

feel (el tacto, sentir),
hear (el oido, oir),
see (la vista, ver),
smell (el olfato, olor),

I (can) see you. (Te veo.)
I am seeing you.

It smells like you are cooking something. (Huele como que ests
cocinando algo.)
It is smelling like you are cooking something.
Voluntaria:
I am seeing you later, right? (Te ver luego, no?)
I see you later, right?
I am tasting the soup to see if it is as good as it smells. (Estoy probando
la sopa para ver si es tan buena como huele. )
I taste the soup right now.
Nota: Si la percepcin es voluntaria, se puede usar la forma continua.
Usamos el verbo "to listen" para oir de forma voluntaria.
2. Verbos emotivos:

believe (creer),
dislike (no gustar),
doubt (dudar),
imagine (imaginar),
hate (odiar),
know (saber, conocer),

3. Verbos de estado o verbos abstractos:

exist (existir)
Ejemplos:

You are being silly. (*Significa que "ahora te ests portando como un

Nota: Normalmente, "to be" es un verbo esttico pero podemos usarlo
tambin para hablar del comportamiento. Entonces, si lo usamos para
referirnos a la conducta de alguien, podemos usar el tiempo continuo.
Otros ejemplos:

David is needing a new car.
Cigarettes cost 5 euros now.
Cigarettes are costing 5 euros now.

Nota: Cuando usamos "to have" para referirnos a algo que poseemos
(una cosa, una cantidad, etc.), no podemos usarlo en el tiempo
continuo. Pero si es parte de una expresin, podemos usarlo en el
continuo.
Otros ejemplos:
