Ce que tu vas apprendre
Prêt à franchir une nouvelle étape dans ton apprentissage ? Jusqu'ici, tu as appris à décrire des faits simples et ton quotidien. Maintenant, on va s'attaquer à l'imaginaire et aux nuances ! Dans ce chapitre, tu vas découvrir comment jongler avec les conditionnels pour exprimer tes projets concrets ou tes rêves les plus fous. D’abord, avec le First Conditional (If + présent, will), tu sauras organiser tes prochaines sorties en fonction des imprévus : « If it rains, I will stay home ». C'est essentiel pour planifier un voyage ou un rendez-vous ! Ensuite, on passera au Second Conditional (If + passé simple, would) pour explorer l'imaginaire : « If I had wings, I would fly ». C'est l'outil parfait pour discuter de scénarios hypothétiques ou refaire le monde avec tes amis. Enfin, nous verrons la voix passive (be + participe passé). Elle est indispensable quand l'action est plus importante que celui qui la fait, comme sur les panneaux « English is spoken here » ou pour expliquer que quelque chose a été cassé sans forcément savoir par qui. À la fin de ce chapitre, tu seras capable de poser des conditions réelles, de partager tes envies d'ailleurs et de décrire des situations avec beaucoup plus de précision. C'est le moment de donner du relief à tes conversations en anglais. On y va ?

- If + Past Simple, would + verb
- be + past participle
Erreurs courantes
Never use 'will' in the 'if' clause. The 'if' part stays in the present.
In second conditionals, use 'were' for all subjects, including 'I', 'he', and 'she'.
Passive voice always requires the past participle (eaten), not the base verb.
