Conditional Sentence Is....?????

• ·       Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences

• ·       A conditional sentence describes the condition that is necessary for a particular result to occur. The conjunctions if, even if, when, whenever, whether, and unless often appear in conditional sentences.  The meaning of a conditional sentence determines which verb tenses needs to be used in the independent and subordinate clauses.

 

Conditional sentences in general have characteristics as follows:

• ·       use words if the subordinate clause (subordinate clause). Because of this clause if preceded by the clause if it is called.

• ·       use of auxiliary capital, such as will, can, may, must, would, could, might, etc. the main sentence (main clause). 

There are three types of Conditional Sentences:

1.     Conditional Sentence Type 1 

Conditional Sentences Type I refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don't know for sure whether the condition actually will be fulfilled or not, but the conditions seems rather realistic – so we think it is likely to happen.  

It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.

Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

Example:

If I have the money, I will buy this car.

If it's sunny, we'll go to the park.

If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.

Peter will be sad if Susan leaves.

If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.

If you cook dinner, I'll wash the dishes.

If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

2.    Conditional Sentence Type 2 

Conditional Sentences Type II refer to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation were different. I don't really expect the situation to change, however. I just imagine „what would happen if …“

It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.

Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)

Example:

If I had the money, I would buy this car.

If I were you, I would drive more carefully in the rain.

If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.  

If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

I would send her an invitation if I found her address.

   

3.   Conditional Sentence Type 3

Conditional Sentences Type III refer to situations in the past. An action could have happened   in the past if a certain condition had been fulfilled. Things were different then, however. We just imagine, what would have happened if the situation had been fulfilled.

It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.

Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)

Example:

If I had had the money, I would have bought this Audi.

If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.

If we had played a little better, we could have won the game.

I would have sent her an invitation if I had found her address.

If I hadn’t studied, I wouldn’t have passed my exams.
