CONDITIONALS What are conditionals in English grammar? Sometimes we call them  'if clauses' . They describe the result of something that might happen (in the present or future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past) . They are made using different English verb tenses. Conditional sentences  have TWO clauses. 1. C onditional clause: (sometimes called an  if - clause ). The  conditional clause  usually begins with  if   or unless. The  conditional clause can  come before or after the main  clause .   We 'll be late  if we  don't leave now. but if it comes at the beginning the clauses have to be separated by a comma( , ). If we  don't leave now , we'll be late .

  What's the difference? Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous We use both of these tenses for finished and unfinished actions. The present perfect simple can be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. It's often used with stative verbs: I' ve known John for three years. The present perfect continuous can also be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. (Of course, we don't use the present perfect continuous with STATIVE VERBS): She's been living here for three years. Sometimes there's really no difference in meaning between the two tenses. This is especially the case with verbs such as 'live', 'work' and 'study': They've lived in London since 2004. They've been living in London since 2004. I've studied
