Uses:descibe facts or things very likely to happen. The result is certain. The condition always has the same result. Form:If+condition+result,result +if+condition. Verbs tenses1):The present simple describes facts. 2)For regular events from the past,we use the past simple.

when
when often replaces "if"for zero conditional sentences: use"when"because the result always happens when the condition is true.
First conditionals
Uses:describe real future events that are very possible. The first condition describes a specific future event. Although the form of the condition is the present simple, the meaning is the future. Not descibe a fact or regular action. Forms: If+condition+result,result +if+condition. Verbs tenses:The condition takes the present simple. The result takes the future simple.
EX: Andrew:"I'm going to a party in London tonight." Mark:"Hurry up,the bus leaves soon." Andrew:"If I miss the bus,I'll take the train". condition result 1)If I miss the bus,I will take the train. 2)If I'm late,I'll call you.

EX: 1.If I see her,I'm going to invite her to the party.
Second conditionals
Uses:describes an imaginary,impossible or unlikely situation in the present or future. The situation is hypothetical.It is not real. Verbs tenses:The past simple.subjunctive mood.------ I\you\it\we\they+were. The structure of the result is:subject+"would"+base from of verb Contracted form:I'd go=I would go If I had lots of money,I would go to London. The past tense is inidicating a distance from reality. It is not indicating past time.
EX: 1)If I had a lot of money,I would buy an expensive car. In reality,I do not have a lot of money.
Model
If you played tennis together,he would win. unlikely situation would--- but I'm certain that he would win. might---not certain,Maybe,he would win/ could---be able ton
Third conditionals
Uses:describes hypothetical situations in the past. We are imagining the result of something that did not happen. We are imagining a different past.| Verbs tenses:If+subject+past perfect.The structure of the result is: subject+"would have"+past participle.
EX: 1)If I had won the lottery,I would have bought a house. In reality,I did NOT win the lottery. The condition is impossible because it's in the past. We cannot change the past.
If not--negative conditional 如果不---unless,除非 as long as
Forms : If+s+not pres.v,s+will not unless+s+positive pres v. as long as+s+not v./pos v.
EX: 1)If you don't quilt smoking,you will feel bad. 2)Unless you quit smoking,you will feel bad. 除非你戒烟,否则你会感觉不好。

Clauses从句 S+V--dependent
Noun Clauses
A noun clause modifies or acts as a specific function to something in the independent clause. It could be the subject,it could be the object of the verb,a complement. basically four\five uses the subject comes before the verb.
What she wore to the party really turned some heads. Whoever wants to know should ask me. object,or subject complement. Please ask mom what we're having for dinner. i.o ask--object Do you know if she's coming? Paul isn't what is generally considered handsome. the subject complement --object--prep. Sarah should not be held responsible for what her bother does. --adjective complement.needs more information I am happy that you've decided to come.
an object answers the question what or whom about the verb. A subject complement answers what or whom about the subject. i.o,indirect object. In a question,the verb will come before the subject. "be"verb as your main verb or any copular or linking verb,like: "seem,appear,looks like"系动词或联系动词。 They're just situation verbs,these are not action verbs. A complete idea 概念的完整--more information
Adjective Clauses
The adjective clause-excuse me-always modifies or identifies a noun in the sentence,in the clause,etc.It means that it's giving you some information about a noun somewhere. They all begin with a relative pronoun. Now,some of these can be also the subject of the clause,which means it will agree with the verb,some of them cannot.---"that,which,who" can be both the conjuction and the subject. "that,which"when the noun is a thing."which"can modify the entire clause before it. "whom,whose,when,where,why"cannot be the subject of the clause,only the relative pronoun,only the conjunction of the clause.All must have a seperate subject to go with the verb in the clause. "whose"means possession,it doesn't have to be about a person,a thing can also possess something. The adjective clauses must always come right after the noun it's modifying.
a defining adjective clause,which means that it's basically poing to the noun and tell you something necessary about the noun. Without the adjective clauses, the noun is incomplete.I don't know what it is,I don't know| it is doing,etc. For defining adjective clauses,no comma.
the second adjective clause is the modifying, means it is not necessary but we put it in to give a little bit of extra information about the noun. So it's like an adjective that gives you a little bit more description about the noun. For modifying,like the extra information,the ones that you could actually take out and the sentence is still okey,use a comma.
EX: 1)The man lives next door. --The man who lives next door is a doctor. "who"can be a subkect,"whom"can only be an object. --Dr.Smith,who lives next door,is a retired surgeon. 2)The car whose front door is scratched is going to be repaired next week. the door belongs to the car. 3)Jerry went to the same store where Jennifer brought her couch. a particular place 3)Many students in Mrs.Reynold's Class, who went on the field trip,are homesick with the flu that's going around. A)have a prepositional phrase. 4)Larry failed his test,which means he'll have to go summer school. 5)The eccentric billionaire,about whom the public knows little about,donated millions to charity.
Conjunctions: (that),which,who,whom, whose,what,if,whether, when,where,how,why, who\m,when,where,what,which-ever
Aderbial Clauses 状语从句 relationship
The adverb clause shows a relationship.Because the subordinate conjunctions,the words that join the clause to the nidependent clause has a very specific function.The two clauses,the independent clause and the subordinate clause have a very distinct relationship.
