the future It is different from other real conditional form because anlike the present or the

past,you do not know what will happen in the future.Althought this form is called ‘real

conditional’ you are Usuall imaginnig or guessing about the future.It is called ‘real’ because it

is Still possibe that the action might occur in the future.Carefully study the exzamples and

compare them to the future Unreal Conditional described bellow.

A) If…,…(ıf at the beginnig)

other real conditionals.In the Future RealConditional,’if’suggest that you do not kmow if
