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.
Type 1
Conditional Sentences
Form
If
+ Simple Present, will-Future
Use
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.
Example : If I find her
address, I will send her an invitation.
The main clause can
also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example: I will send
her an invitation if I find her address.
Note: Main clause and /
or if clause might be negative. See Simple Present und will-Future on how to
form negative sentences.
Example: If I don’t see
him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.
Type 2
Conditional Sentences
Form
if + Simple Past, main clause with Conditional
I (= would + Infinitive)
Use
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 …“
Example: If I found her
address, I would send her an invitation.
The main clause can
also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example: I would send
her an invitation if I found her address.
Note: Main clause and /
or if clause might be negative. See Simple Past und Conditional I on how to
form negative sentences.
Example: If I had a lot
of money, I wouldn’t stay here.
Type 3
Conditional Sentences
Form
if
+ Past Perfect, main clause with Conditional II
Use
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.
Example: If I had found
her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
The main clause can
also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example: I would have
sent her an invitation if I had found her address.
Note: Main clause and /
or if clause might be negative. See Past Perfect and Conditional II on how to
form negative sentences.
Example: If I hadn’t
studied, I wouldn’t have passed my exams.
