Grammar: the Real Conditional.
Real conditional sentences contain two parts, the if clause, and the result clause.Grammar: the Real Conditional.
- The if clause indicates the choice and is expressed in present tense. It indicates a choice and can be either positive or negative. If statements can also imply the opposite choice and result.
- The result clause indicates the consequence or possible consequence, and is expressed in future tense or with modals can, could or might.
Now, real conditional sentences express factual or future results. When the result is future, use will in the result clause.
- A factual result: use present tense in both clauses. E.g., If a hotel room haswireless Internet, guests don’t have to goto a business center to check e-mail.
- A future result: use present tense in the if clause and future with willin the result clause. E.g., If she checks inearly, she’ll get the room she wants.
So, the grammar for questions, you have to change the form of the auxiliar: will. Example:If they don’t have a non-smoking room, will you stay at a different hotel?Where will you go if they don’t have a room for tonight?If there areno rental cars at the airport, what will they do?
