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.

Conditional Sentence Type 1

if
+ Simple Present, will-Future


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.


Main clause and / or if clause might be negative.
Example: If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.


Conditional Sentence Type 2


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

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.

Main clause and / or if clause might be negative.
Example: If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

Were instead of Was


In IF Clauses Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it –.
Example: If I were you, I would not do this.

Conditional Sentence Type 3


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

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.

Main clause and / or if clause might be negative.
Example: If I hadn’t studied, I wouldn’t have passed my exams


Exceptions

Sometimes Conditional Sentences Type I, II and III can also be used with other tenses.Condition refers to: IF Clause Main Clause

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

Actually thats the basic on conditional sentence.

PostSubject: Questions with Conditions   Conditional Sentences I_icon_minitimeSun May 25, 2008 6:13 am

You can, of course, ask questions with conditions:

Yes-no Questions


  • Does Homer get angry if you forget to feed him?
  • Would it hurt the car if you put apple juice in the gas tank?
  • Does it hurt your computer if you leave it on all night?
Information Questions

  • What happens to your computer if you leave it on all night?
  • What would happen if you put apple juice in the gas tank?
Unreal: What would you do if you got the job?

Real:
What will you do if you get the job?


Please remember : The main thing to consider when you are writing conditional sentences is whether or not the condition (IF clause) is real or possible.

Unreal condition:
If I were the king of the world, I would make it easy to write English.

Real condition:

If I'm your teacher next year, I'll give you some writing exercises.
