  Conditional Clauses Making conditional sentences is an everyday part of our native language and introducing them to our English speaking can really improve our level of communication. What is a Conditional Sentence?  A conditional sentence is based on the word 'if'. There are two parts to a conditional sentence.  The Zero Conditional  It is used to talk about permanent truths, such as scientific facts and general habits.   The First Conditional  We use this to talk about a realistic situation in the present or future. The Second Conditional  We use this to talk about improbable or impossible situations in the present or future.   In 'if' clause type-2, we use the be form 'were' even if the subject is singular i.e I, he, she or it.  The Third Conditional  We use this to talk about impossible situations, as in the second conditional, but in the past.   We often use this to describe regrets.

No sooner had I arrived at the station than the train left. (= I came first and the train left right after me. No sooner had we heard the noise than we rushed to the spot. No sooner had she finished one homework she started working on the next.

Either-Or We can use the Either Or conjunction if we want to indicate that one of the two options is valid by presenting two different options in a sentence. When we use the Either or conjunction, we create an alternative for the situation mentioned in the sentence. Either or conjunction can be used for different individuals or objects. 1.Either  you  or  I should be informed about his project. 2. Either  today  or  tomorrow I must work. 3. Either   Alex  or   Samuel will go. 4. I’ll  either   write to you  or   phone you next week. Neither-Nor If we want to present two different objects in a sentence, and we want these ...
