LESSON : Using Conditionals in Expressing Arguments

INTRODUCTION
English can get a little nutty, this module will assist you to practice your
grammar better on your own pace. Since we are catering 21 st Century Learners,
learning is largely digital these days, but the fact remains that good
communication is one of the key elements to success in any platform. Whenever
you use the written word to do your assignments–from a simple memo or email,
to widely circulated social media posts and website content–never underestimate
the importance of good grammar.
In this lesson, you will learn a great deal about speech styles and then
analyze one another’s style to understand what their preferred styles are. By
understanding that everyone has different communication styles, you will have
greater awareness for differences and learn to accommodate yours to others’
communication styles. This is essential to developing successful interpersonal
relationships by understanding the thoughts, views and feelings of others
reflected in our choice of words.

Using Conditionals in Expressing Arguments

For some learners, conditionals can be a bit confusing. Most native
speakers don’t even realize what a conditional sentence is when they use one.
So, what do you need to know? A few tips and a practice and you’ll be good to
go.

Confused with conditionals?

4
 Conditionals depend on how REAL or POSSIBLE the situation is in the
eyes of the speaker.

This lesson will give you an overview on using conditionals in an argument.

To begin, examine these conditional sentences and their functions. What

do the sentences have in common?

*If water reaches 212° Fahrenheit (100° Celsius), it boils. (fact)

*If I were you, I wouldn’t waste money buying junk food. (giving advice)
*She will pass the class if she studies and does her homework. (talking
about the future)
*You would have caught the bus if you had woken up 15 minutes earlier.
(analyzing the past)
*If Maria were president, she would pass more laws to protect the
environment. (talking about a hypothetical situation)

Although these sentences perform different functions, they share a

common feature: all conditionals include a cause and effect relationship.
The “cause” part of each sentence describes a condition or situation. This part
of a conditional is called the “condition clause,” and usually begins with the
word “if” (or an equivalent phrase like as long as or in the event that). The
“effect” part of a conditional is called the “result clause,” which explains an
outcome that is dependent on the condition described in the other part of the
sentence.

If you mix red paint and blue paint together, you get purple paint.

5
 condition clause (cause) + result clause (effect)

As you saw in the sentence list above, the condition clause and the result
clause can be placed in any order. For example, look at Sentences A and B
below. Do they have the same meaning?

A: She will pass the class if she studies and does her homework.

B: If she studies and does her homework, she will pass the class.

Notice that if the condition clause comes first, it is followed by a

comma (Sentence B). A comma is not needed when the result clause is first
in a conditional sentence (Sentence A)

Furthermore, a conditional statement is, in its most easily recognized form,

an “if…then…” statement. Take a look at the following sentence:

(1) If you study then you'll pass

(1) clearly says that studying is sufficient for passing. It's not so clear that it
says passing is necessary for studying and, in fact, it sounds peculiar
because passing is something that happens after you study and it seems
odd to suggest that the occurrence of a later event is necessary for the
occurrence of an earlier event. How can it be that my ability to study now
depends upon something happening in the future.

(2) If you didn't pass then you couldn't have studied.

When one thing is necessary for another thing that means that if you haven't got
the first then you haven't got the second. Water, for example, is necessary for
plant life: no water, no plants. Similarly, (2) says no pass conclusively shows no
study, hence that passing is necessary for studying. In general, for any sentence
of the form,

6
Conditionals, Arguments and Inferences

Like arguments, conditionals may express inferences. Nevertheless, a

conditional by itself is not an argument. The difference is that when you put forth
an argument you commit yourself to the truth of all its parts--even if "only for the
sake of the argument." When you assert a conditional, however, you do not
commit yourself to the truth of either its antecedent or its consequent. Indeed, the
whole conditional can be true even if both its parts are false. Look at the following
conditional and argument:

(3) If you study then you'll pass. If you pass, then you'll graduate.
Therefore, if you study you'll graduate.

In general, Conditionals are extremely important in the English language

because they help us express things that may happen in the present and future.
Conditionals serve many purposes and take several different forms. They can be
used to give advice, express regret and discuss facts, among other things.

Moreover, there are three basic types of conditional sentences, and

they are named type 1, type 2, and type 3. But for the meantime, let’s focus first
on the type 1. The other types will be discussed on the next quarter.

A type 1 conditional is a possible situation which could happen.

We use type 1 conditionals to express realistic situations, plans and things

that are very likely to happen if we do something. Unlike the previous examples,
a type 1 conditional uses will instead of would. Usually this conditional uses
present tense verbs in both clauses too.

If I eat all the chocolate, I will feel sick tomorrow.

In that example, I’m imagining a situation that will certainly happen. I will
definitely feel sick tomorrow if I eat all that chocolate. Maybe I shouldn’t eat that
chocolate, then.

If I study hard, I will pass the exam.

Hard work pays off. Passing an exam is the likely result of studying hard.

Giving the Appropriate Communicative Styles for Various Situations

There are different communicative styles fitted for a particular situation.
The purpose of these types of communication is to help you identify a specific
and effective style to use for a particular context, person, and place.

9
 Knowing these speech styles can help you communicate easily with other
people without being disrespectful; hence reducing conflicts and promoting
goodwill.

Speech style means the form of language that the speaker uses
which is characterized by the degree of formality. A speaker uses
different speech styles according to the given situations, place, or
persons involved. There are five different speech styles.

1. Frozen- It is the most formal communicative style that is usually

used during respectful events and ceremonies. It is “frozen” or fixed
in time and content.
Examples: Pledges, anthems, marriage ceremonies, laws, etc.

2. Formal- This type uses formal words and expressions and is

mostly seen in writing rather than speaking. It also disallows the
use of ellipsis, contractions, and qualifying modal adverbials.
Examples: Announcement, President’s SONA, welcome addresses

3. Consultative-This is an unplanned speech with the speaker using

the participation and feedback of the listener.
Examples: teacher-student, doctor-patient, salesperson-customer

4. Casual- an informal style which is usually used between, friends, or

even insiders who have things to share.
Examples: phone calls, everyday conversation with friends, chats

5. Intimate- It is used in talks between two very close individuals.

Examples: Couple talking about their future plans, family sharing
ideas, very close friends sharing secrets, etc.
