Ways to use 'condition'

Phil

Let's learn the noun condition.

As a plural noun, it can talk about a general situation that affects something else.

The weather conditions are good today.
Our product failed because the market conditions were not good.

As a singular noun, it can just refer to the physical state of something.

I'm not paying that! That car's in terrible condition.
I need to do more exercise. I'm not in good condition!

A condition is a thing that is necessary for something else to happen. Contracts and agreements often have these.

I'll help on one condition. You drive me home afterwards.
I can get a refund. It's in the conditions of sale.

So, conditions are circumstances, the condition of something is what state it's in and a condition allows something to happen.

Remember that and your English will be in good condition!
