This topic is going to be divided into 4 chapters. We are going to discuss all of these topics thoroughly, going into deep understanding of all of them. So, if you are interested-subscribe to this channel to stay informed.

Alright, let’s start from the basics. Why do we need conditionals? It’s super simple. We use them to talk about some conditions. Here are a couple of examples: We will go to the cinema, if you buy these tickets. Or vice versa ‘We won’t go to the cinema, if you don’t buy these tickets. 
There are 4 types of conditionals and today’s podcast is devoted to “zero and first conditional”.
Okay, guys. Zero conditional. We use it to talk about some facts, rules or laws.
“Snow melts, when it is hot”, “if you violate the law, you are punished”
How do we make it? Super simple. Our sentence consists of 2 parts: clause and main part, both of them are written in present simple. The clause part always contains if or when.
 Let’s take a look again.
“If you don’t work, you don’t get money”
I am about to leave you a couple of exercises in the quiz to practice.

Alright, the first conditional is about FUTURE. Yes, guys, and this is when a lot of students make mistakes. Let’s take a look at the examples.
“If you pass your exams, you will enter the university”
“If I don’t have enough delights, I will go to the supermarket to purchase them”

How do we make it?
In the main part we have Future Simple, in the clause one we, again, have present simple. 
The main mistake is when you use Future Simple instead of Present Simple. Try to remember that here, after ‘if or when” we don’t use the future. (Sometimes we do, but we’ll talk about it later)

“If I don’t exercises, I’ll never achieve a strong body”
“You will never find a good job, if you don’t look for it,”

And of course, I’ve prepared a good exercise for you to practice.

I hope it was useful, it was nice to share this info with you. Feel free to book lessons with me. Thank you and see you later!

How long do you want a movie to last? When do you start looking at your watch and wonder when you can leave the darkness of the cinema?

Or maybe it doesn't matter because you watch everything on streaming services, and you can pause anytime you like.

But according to a survey from the US, the perfect movie length is 92 minutes — about the same as a soccer match.

A polling company called Talker Research asked 2,000 people how long movies should be.

Only about 2% said they thought movies should be longer than two and a half hours, while just 15% want to watch a movie that's more than two hours long.

Movies like Dodgeball, Kung Fu Panda and Toy Story 2 are all about 92 minutes long.

But data suggests that the most popular movies are getting longer and longer.

A website called What to Watch found that the average length of the most successful movies has increased from 110 minutes in 1981 to 141 minutes in 2022.

The Guardian reports that nine out of the top 10 most successful films of all time are longer than two hours. Three of them are longer than three hours.

However, some say it's not the length of the film that's important, but how good it is.

There are really long films that feel much shorter because they're so interesting, and there are shorter movies that you wish would just end fast!
