However there are three types of Conditional Sentences. 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 two kinds of conditional sentences: real and unreal. Real Conditional describes real-life situations. Unreal Conditional describes unreal, imaginary situations. However there are three types of Conditional Sentences. Type 1 Type 2

Conditional Sentence Type 1 Present Real Conditional Form if + Simple Present, will-Future / modals present 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. If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening. I will send her an invitation if I find her address. If I go to Singapore, I can visit my pen pal there She can help many people if she is becoming a doctor. The Use Note : Please pay attention to the verb printed in bold.

Use of Conditional type I 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 exercise

Conditional Sentence Type 2 If + Simple Past, Past Modals + verb Example If I owned a car, I would drive to work. She would travel around the world if she had more money. I would read more if I didn't watch so much TV Conditional Type 2 is an unreal conditional next The Unreal Conditional is used to talk about what you would generally do in imaginary situations

Because Conditional Type 2 has an imaginary condition. So it has what we call true fact. In finding the true fact from each conditional sentence type2, we have to consider the following situation. Every positive statement in Conditional sentence will be turned into negative statement in True Fact Sentence. And every negative statement will be turned into positive statement. Or even if the statement remain the same, it should have an opposite meaning 2. The Simple Past Tense form in Conditional Sentence will become the Simple Present Tense in the True Fact Sentence. And so the Past Modals in the Conditional Sentence will become Present Modals in the True Fact Sentence Example Exercise

Please take a look at the example carefully Conditional Sentence If John had the money, he would buy a Ferrari. John doesn’t have money, He will not buy a Ferrari True Fact 1 True Fact 2 John buys an ordinary car Conditional Sentence If I found her address, I would send her an invitation True Fact 1 I don’t find her address, I will not send her an invitation True Fact 2 It’s difficult to find her address next

Were instead of Was In Conditional Sentence Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it –. We don’t use was in Conditional Sentence Type II Example: If I were you, I would not do this. She would take me to the hospital if she were not busy If you were a teacher, you could teach in a school They would go to Bandung if they were permitted by their parents.
