Hello, Friends!
So what are we going to
learn?
We will study Conditional Clauses, also known as If
Clauses or Conditional Sentences or sentences that
express assumptions.
What is a Conditional Clause?
Conditional sentences or 'if clauses' are sentences used
to express assumptions. The event in this sentence has
not happened yet and may not happen.
Conditional Clause
This conditional sentence has several different forms,
both in terms of function of use and tense. The structure
of this conditional sentence will also depend on the tense
of the assumed event.
The structure of this conditional sentence generally
consists of two parts, namely 'If Clause' and 'Main
Clause'.
If the if clause is in front, then before the main clause is
given a comma separator. But if the main clause is in
front, then it is immediately continued with the if clause
without a comma.
Conditional Clause Type
OConditional functions to
If Clause Type 0 or Zero
make statements about reality.
This sentence usually contains general facts, such as
scientific facts. In Zero Conditional, the time used is
now or always.
Another function is often used to give instructions,
namely by using a command sentence in the main
clause. Both if clauses and main clauses use the
simple present tense.
Conditional Clause Type 0
Formula
If the If Clause is in front, then use a comma. The
formula is:
If + S + Verb1, S + Verb1

If the If Clause is behind, then no need to use a


S +comma.
Verb1The if formula
S + Verb1
is:

night.
EXAMPLE 3

Conditional Clause Type
1 type 1 states about

the future.
This assumption will only be realized if certain
conditions can be met. We may not be able to be
sure whether the condition will be met, but the
condition is very likely to be met.
In the if clause uses simple present tense, while the
main clause uses simple future tense.
Conditional Clause Type 1
Formula
If the If Clause is in front, then the formula is:
If + S + Verb1, S + will + Verb1
If the If Clause is behind, then the formula is:
S + will + Verb1 if S + Verb1
Note:
"Will" can also be replaced with modals, namely
"may", "might", "should", "would", and so on.
"If" can also be replaced with "as soon as", "in case",
and so on.

Conditional Clause Type
2 type 2 functions to
If clause or conditional sentence
state assumptions with events in the main clause
that are unlikely to come true or even impossible to
happen.

If clause in type 2 uses simple past tense and in the


main clause uses past future tense.
Conditional Clause Type 2
Formula
If the If Clause is in front, then the formula is:

If + S + Verb2, S + would + Verb1


If the If Clause is behind, then the formula is:

S + would + Verb1 if S + Verb2

Note:
If the if clause uses 'be', then it must use 'were'
even though the subject is I, he, she, or it.

The last is if clause or conditional sentence type 3
which functions to state an event that is impossible
to happen in the past.
If clause in type 3 uses past perfect tense and in the
main clause uses past future perfect tense.
Conditional Clause Type 3
Formula
If the If Clause is in front, then the formula is:
If + S + had + Verb3, S +
would/could/might + have + Verb3
If the If Clause is behind, then the formula is:

S + would/could/might + have +
Verb3 if + S + had + Verb3
