OOPT Conditional Structures 2

Question 1

Identify the type of conditional: 'If it rains, the match will be cancelled.'

Accepted Answer

First conditional

Answer

First conditional (if + present simple, will + infinitive) describes a real possibility in the future.

Question 2

Complete the third conditional: 'If she ___ harder, she ___ the exam.'

Accepted Answer

had studied / would have passed

Answer

Third conditional: if + past perfect, would have + past participle — used for unreal past situations.

Question 3

Which sentence is an example of the zero conditional?

Accepted Answer

If you heat ice, it melts.

Answer

'If you heat ice, it melts' — zero conditional uses present simple in both clauses to express universal truths.

Question 4

Choose the correct mixed conditional: 'If I ___ so tired yesterday, I ___ now.'

Accepted Answer

hadn't been / would feel better

Answer

Mixed conditional: past cause (third conditional if-clause) + present result (second conditional main clause).

Question 5

Which is correct? 'Unless you hurry, you ___ the bus.'

Accepted Answer

will miss

Answer

'Unless you hurry, you will miss the bus.' 'Unless' means 'if not', and functions like a first conditional.
