English Zusammenfassung - Future tenses, conditionals etc. will future: will + Infinitive. - instant decisions (we decide to do something. ‘now’, at the moment of speaking): I’ll have pizza and a diet coke. - promise: I won’t tell anyone where you’re hiding. I won’t leave you. - offer: I’ll help you. Shall I help you? - Threat: You’ll pay for this! - prediction (assumption: when we think or believe something. about the future.): You’ll love the film = No Evidence be going to future: be going to + infinitive - future plans and intentions (we have already decided, or we intend to do sth. in the future.): I’m going to invite all my friends for the party. - predictions (there is evidence in the present that something is going to happen.): Look at the dark clouds! It is going to rain. / Hollywood actors are rich, they are going to spend lots of money here. present continuous: (I am preparing) use: future arrangements (to talk about the future when there is a fixed agreed plan): Phil is meeting all his old girlfriends tomorrow. We’re getting married in October. = Fixed Arrangement present simple: (I prepare) use: timetable (to talk about the future when there is a fixed timetable, often used to talk about travel times, film times, school times etc.): The wedding starts at 2 p.m. The train leaves at 2.45 Note: with the verb go you can leave out the infinitive: I’m going to go to New York. I’m going to New York. Important: Always write I in Capital! Not (i). Zero conditional: Use: Zero conditional Sentences refer to all time, not just the present or the future. They express a Situation that is allways true. Form: if + present simple + present simple Examples: If you jump into water, you get wet. If you heat water to 100 degress C, it boils. If it rains, you get wet. If you heat ice, it melts. If you drop a pen, it falls down. First conditional: Use: First conditional sentences express a possible condition and its probable result in the future. Form: if+ present simple + will (+inf.) Future. Examples: If I find your key, I will call you. If you study hard, you will get a good grade. If you don’t eat for a long time, you will get hungry. If you try hard, you will succeed. If you train hard, you will get bigger. If you eat healthy, you will live healthy. If they don’t catch the bus, I will call you. If you stay up late, you will get tired. Future Time Clauses: Conjunctions of time (when / as soon as / before / until / after / in case / unless) are NOT usually followed by WILL- We use a present tense even though the time reference is future. Examples: I will call you, when I get home. Rule No1: The present simple is usually used after the time conjunction- We use WILL in another clause. Examples: As soon as dinner is ready, I will give u a call. Can I have a word with you before you go? (modal verb and question) Wait until I come back. (imperative) Rule No2: We can use the present perfect after the time conjunction if it is important to show that the action is finished. Examples: When I have read the book, I will lend it to you. I will go home after I have done the shopping. Second Conditional: Use: We use the second conditional to express an unreal situation and its probable result. The situation or condition is importable, impossible. imaginary or contrary to known facts. -> hypothetical situation. Form: if + past simple + would (+inf.) Examples: If I won the lottery, I would travel around the world. I would give up my job if I didn’t like it. What would you do if you saw somebody shoplifting. !!!!! “was” can change to “were” in the second conditional. For “I/she/he/it” Examples: If I were rich, I’d get retired at 30. If he were Donald Trump, he would enjoy. If I were you, I would enjoy my life The Use of COMMAS with all conditional sentences: Usa a comma if the if-clause is at the beginning of the sentence. Example: If I go to London, I will visit the Tower. If I were you, I would clean my room more often. Don’t use a comma if the if-clause is at the end of the sentence. Example: I will visit the Tower if I go to London. Third Conditional: Use: The third conditional is used for imaginary situations that refer to past actions. Form: if + past perfect + WOULD HAVE + past participle (3rd form) Examples: If I had known you were in the hospital, I would have gone to see you. (But I didn’t know, so I didn’t go to see you.) If you have studied more, you would have got/gotten a better mark. (You didn’t study much, so you didn’t get a good mark.) If I had worn that seat belt, I wouldn’t have hurt my head. If it hadn’t rained yesterday, I would have gone to my friend’s house. If I haven’t studied a lot, I wouldn’t have got this good mark. Take after: To look or behave like another member of the family. Take risks: To do something even though there is a chance of failure or danger. Take part: To be involved in something. Takes care of: To look after someone or something. Take advantage of: To make use of a situation or opportunity for your benefit. Take place: To happen or occur. Take your time: To use as much time as you need without rushing. Taken into account: To consider or include certain facts or information when making a decision. Take no notice of: To ignore something or someone; to pay no attention.
