One of my favorite aspects of the English language is the conditionals, and I'm happy to share my view on them with you today!First, there is something people call Zero Conditional.If you pull the doorknob, the door opens. present presentIt refers to an automatic reaction. You do one and the other happens for sure._______________________________________________________________________Then, there is something we call First Conditional.If you study, you will pass your tests. present futureHere we have an action in the present with a future consequence. It is, let's say, 50% certain to happen. Maybe a little more... Here you are dreaming of a different future._______________________________________________________________________After that, we have something called Second Conditional.If I won the lottery, I would buy a car. past imaginary presentI dont have a car now, because I didnt win it, but I wish I had one now. Something did not happen in my past so my present is not that good!_______________________________________________________________________Finally, there is something which we call Third Conditional.If I had learned Chinese, I would have moved to China. past of the past imaginary pastWe have already learned that the Past Perfect is the past of the past HERE.And that the Present Perfect is the same as the past HERE.So, we have the following situation: I didn't go to China (past) because I hadn't learned Chinese (past of the past). One action in a distant past led to a consequence in a nearer past._______________________________________________________________________So, we can observe that the consequence always happens after the condition:If you study, you will pass your test. [present with a future consequence]If I won the lottery, I would buy a car. [past with a present consequence]If I had learned Chinese, I would have moved to China [long past with a near past consequence]Think you're ready to try it? Take a look at THIS.Let me know if this works for you!Cheers,J. Grammar is not only verb tenses. Therefore, it is about time we talked about other issues... What about Quantifiers then?Many and few are technically opposites:Many expresses big quantity. Few expresses small quantity.The same happens with much and little:Much expresses big quantity. Little expresses small quantity.Ok, but what about many and much? They can be quite confusing, I admit.Let's take a look at these examples:Many people are coming to Jean's birthday party.They are not going to drink much alcohol though.Let's zoom in a little:many peoplemuch alcoholWe usually use many before plural nouns: many friends, many people, many books, many problems, etc.And much before singular nouns: much paper, much water, much juice, much gas, etc.FUN FACT:Many and much usually appear in negative sentences.But what happens with the affirmative ones?That's where a lot of and lots of step in!Wanna practice? HERE and HERE.Easy, isnt it?J. What is the correct form: The family is traveling on holiday or The family are traveling on holiday?The answer is both. Family is a collective noun.But what is a collective noun?They name groups [things] composed of members [usually people]. For example:Each noun from the list above is a single thing. That thing, however, is made up of more than one person. You cannot have a
