IF CONDITIONAL

Tresna Nur Andini, M.Pd


Conditional sentences, often referred to as "if"
conditional sentences, are grammatical structures
used to express hypothetical situations,
dependencies, or relationships between events or
Definition of actions. These sentences typically consist of two
Conditional main clauses: the "if" clause (also known as the
Sentences conditional clause) and the main clause (also
known as the result clause). The "if" clause
introduces a condition that must be met for the
main clause to occur.

4. Third Conditional
The zero conditional is a type of conditional sentence
used to express general truths, scientific facts, or
habitual actions. It's called "zero" because it doesn't
involve any change in the verb forms—it uses the present
simple tense in both the "if" clause (the condition) and
the main clause (the result).
Zero
Here's the basic structure of a zero conditional sentence:
Conditional
"if + present simple, present simple."
Example:
1. If you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius, it boils
2. If it rains, the streets get wet
The first conditional is a type of conditional sentence
used to talk about real or possible future situations. It's
used when there is a realistic chance that the condition
will be fulfilled and the result will occur. The first
conditional is often used for making predictions, giving
First warnings, or discussing plans. It's structured as follows:
Conditional "if + present simple, will + base form of the verb."
Here's an example to illustrate:
"If it rains tomorrow, we will stay indoors."
The second conditional is a type of conditional sentence used to
express hypothetical or unreal situations in the present or future.
It's often used to discuss things that are unlikely to happen or to
make suggestions. The second conditional is structured as
follows:
"if + past simple, would + base form of the verb."
Here's an example to illustrate:
Second
• If I won the lottery, I would buy a house.
Conditional  If I had more free time, I would travel the world.
 If she were rich, she would buy a yacht.
The second conditional is commonly used in polite requests,
making suggestions, expressing desires, and discussing
hypothetical scenarios. It allows speakers to imagine different
outcomes based on unreal or unlikely conditions.
The third conditional is a type of conditional sentence used to
talk about hypothetical situations in the past, specifically
situations that did not occur. It's used to discuss events that
could have happened differently if circumstances had been
different. The third conditional is structured as follows:
"if + past perfect, would have + past participle."
Third Here's an example to illustrate:
Conditional • If she had studied harder, she would have passed the exam.
• If I had known you were coming, I would have baked a cake.
• If they had left earlier, they wouldn't have missed the train.
The third conditional is commonly used to reflect on past
events and imagine how things might have been different if
circumstances had been different. It allows speakers to discuss
regrets, missed opportunities, and alternative outcomes.
1. If you mix blue and yellow, you get green.
2. If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
3. If the temperature drops below freezing, water turns into ice.
4. If you push the button, the light turns on
5. If you pour the water, the glass will be full.
6. If I had more free time, I would learn to play the guitar.
