Cosmic Grammar, Conditionals

Hi fantastic Bloggers!

Today I'm here to tell you about my English lesson about Conditionals. We did the Zero, the Fist, the Second Conditional and the Third Conditional.                                                                                         

About the Zero Conditional:                                                                                 ❤We form it with: if+adjective+present simple, adjective+present simple            ❤We use it: to talk for things that tey're always true if something else happens first, for rules and instructions. For example: If you leave ice cream out of the fridge, it melts. 

About the First Conditional:                                                                                     ❤We form it with: if+adjective+present simple, adjective+will+bare infinitive (without to)                                                                                                                ❤We use it: to talk for things that they're very close to happen if something else happens first. For example: If it rains, we won't go for a picnic.  

About the Second Conditional:                                                                                 ❤We form it with: if+adjective+past simple,adjective+would+bare infinitive (without to)                                                                                                                ❤We use it: to talk about things that we believe that it's impposible to happen at the future if something else happens first. For exampe: If he was a bird, he would fly away.                                                                                                        

About the Third Conditional:                                                                                   ❤We form it with: if+adjective+past perfect,adjective+would+have+past participle                                                                                                                    ❤We use it: to imagine how the things could be if another thing happened in the past. For example: If you had listened to me when I spoke, you wouldn't have made this mistake.

  I am writing this letter to complain to you about the digital camera that I bought last week from you.There are two problems with my camera.

      First of all , I asked for a red or a blue camera and you sent me a pink one!Then, the advertisement said that there is a program in the camera that can make funny pictures. I am sad to say that this program does not exist in my camera.
 
     Could you please give me another one or could I please have a refund?

     I look forward to your reply.

  Your faithfully,
