“auxiliary verbs” or
“helping” verbs.

Permission
Obligation
Prohibiton

Permission
Can
Could
May
Might

Obligation
Has/ have to

Mustn’t

Conditionals
Statements
expressing the result
of a specific
condition.

Four types of conditionals
1.Zero Conditional
2.First Conditional
3.Second Conditional
4.Third Conditional

Zero Conditional
It is also called “factual
conditional” because it is
used to express truths and
facts; the things that are
real, happening, and
existing around us.

It can also be used to
express habits,
instructions, and rules.

It uses an “if clause” and
a “result clause” that is
definitely going to
happen.

Examples:
If you heat water
above 100 degrees
Celsius, it boils.

If the sun sets, it gets
dark.

Examples:
If you freeze water, it
will turn into ice.

Examples:
If Clause
Result Clause

Formula
If/when +
present simple

Use “If” when there is a
chance that the action
may or may not happen.
If the power goes out, you
can’t use the wifi.

Use “when” when we are
sure that action will take
place.
When you eat spicy food,
you will feel a burning
sensation in your mouth.

Plants die if they are
not watered.

Expressing Habits
Examples:
When I feel sad, I read a
book.
When my friends are
online, I say hello to them.

Giving Instructions
Examples:
If my classmate calls, tell
her to meet me at 3:00
PM.
If you need someone to
talk to, call me.

Expressing Rules
Examples:
You can enter the school, if
you wear complete uniform.
Students can borrow a book,
if they present a library card.

The facts written in the
result clause will surely
happen if the certain

another person’s point of
