IF CLAUSE
Definition Conditional Sentence
A conditional sentence is a type of sentence that presents a
condition and the potential result or consequence that depends
on that condition. These sentences are commonly structured with
an "if" clause (the condition) and a main clause (the result). There
are various types of conditional sentences, including zero
conditional, first conditional, second conditional, and third
conditional, which differ in terms of the likelihood and timing of
the condition being met.

Conditional Sentence Type 0

This type of sentence is used when the results or consequences of
conditions are realized, i.e. explain a general truth and scientific
fact.
This sentence is usually in the present tense with the formula: if +
simple present, simple present.

1. If Clause + Imperative
This conditional sentence is used to ask people to do an action.

Examples:
1. Wait for me
2. Don’t go
2. If Clause + Suggestion
This If Clause is used to give advice regarding actions that must be
taken if an event is to occur. It should be noted, what
differentiates a suggestion from a warning is a necessity.

Suggestions can be carried out or not (depending on the level),

while warnings must be carried out because they are a
consequence. Therefore, suggestions use should/should/better.

3. If Clause + Reminder
This if clause is used to indicate a warning. This conditional
sentence is used to remind about a consequence that must be
carried out as a result of an event.
4. If clause + Dream
This conditional sentence is used to show more specific things,
namely our dreams or goals and something that happens

5. If clause + General truth

Conditional sentence to state a general truth or something that we
really believe will happen

Conditional Sentence Type 1

The first conditional sentence is a form of conditional sentence
that is used when the result or consequence has the possibility of
occurring in the future. This can happen because there are still
realistic conditions that make sense for it
to happen.

The formula for this sentence is:

Condition Result
if + simple present, will + infinitive
examples are:
1. If we don’t leave soon, we’ll miss our train.
2. If I’m late for work again, I might lose my job.
3. When you tell John the news, he’s going to be faint.

Coditional Sentence Type 2

The second conditional sentence is a type of conditional
sentence which is used when the result or consequence only has
the hope of coming true even though the possibility is very small.
So it can be said that this second type of conditional sentence
does not necessarily happen but can also become reality.

In this sentence form, the formula used is if + s + Simple Past /

were, would + v1.

For examples:
1. If I had time, I would go with you.
2. If she met her mother, she would be very happy.
3. If it rained tomorrow, I would sleep all day.

Conditional Sentence Type 3

The third conditional sentence is a presupposition sentence when
a condition is not possible at all. This can be described as a very
impossible condition or just a dream or imagination.

The formula for this sentence:

if + past perfect, would/should/could/might + have + past
participle.
Example of sentences:
1. If you had remembered to invite me, I would have attended
your party.
2. We might have gone to South America if she had not been
pregnant.
3. If you had told me you needed a ride, I would have left earlier.

Conclusion If Clause
If clause is a phrase or construction in the English language used
to express a hypothetical condition or situation.

If clause has 5 types:

- If Clause + Imperative (is used to ask people to do an action.)

- If Clause + Suggestion (is used to give advice regarding actions

that must be taken if an event is to occur.)

- If Clause + Reminder (is used to indicate a warning.)

- If clause + Dream (is used to show more specific things, namely

our dreams)

- If clause + General truth (is used to state a general truth or

something that we really believe will happen).

Conclusion Conditional Sentence

In conclusion Conditional sentences are statements discussing
known factors or hypothetical situations and their consequences.
We use them to communicate that something is true or happens
only if something else is true or happens—that is, only under a
certain condition.
