The Conditional Sentence Type 1

It is used to express the idea in the future, so the clause is the combination between simple future tense
and simple present tense. In this type, something that someone wants to happen in the future will happen
if the condition is fulfilled, but it will not happen if the condition is not fulfilled.

THE PATTERN OF CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 1

a. Main clause(simple future tense) + if clause (simple present tense)

Subject + will/shall+infinitive+... + if + subject +verb(s/es) +....
b. if clause (simple present tense) + Main clause(simple future tense)
if + subject +verb(s/es) +.... + Subject + will/shall+infinitive+...
note:
1. when the if clause is written in front of the sentence, we use a comma at the end of the clause
2. when the main clause is written in the front of the sentence, we dont use a comma at the end of the
clause
Examples:
1. I will go to your house if you cook me coto Makassar
2. If you are lazy, you will fail in national examination
Conditional Sentence Type 2.
The second type of conditional sentence is used to imagine that something would happen, but it would not
happen because the condition in the if clause is not fulfilled. It happens at present, so both statements in
the main clause and in the if clause don't match and never happen. It is important to remember that the fact
of the conditional sentence type 2 is simple present tense.
The patterns of Conditional Sentence Type 2
1. Subject + would/should + infinitive +... if + S + verb 2+...
Main clause/ future past if clause/simple past
2. if + S + verb 2+... Subject + would/should + infinitive +...
if clause/simple past Main clause/ future past
3. if +S +Were + noun/adv Subject + would/should + infinitive +...
if clause/simple past Main clause/ future past
note:
- to be in the if clause is always “were” because the fact is not true or it doesn’t match to the fact
Study these examples!
1. If I were a bird, I would fly
Fact: I’m not a bird, so I don’t fly
2. If he were here, I would talk to him about the matter
He is not here so I don’t talk to him
Conditional Sentence Type 3
The function of the conditional sentence type 3 is to show the regret of the speaker. Here, the if clause tells
about a condition which could have happened in the past time. This can not be possible because the event
already happened in the past. On the other hand, we can say that the condition in the if clause was not
fulfilled, and it was in the past, so the event itself wouldn’t be fulfilled.

THE PATTERNS OF CONDITIONAL SENTENCE TYPE 3

1. S + would/should + have + v3 if + S + had + V3

Main clause/future past perfect If clause/past perfect

2. if + S + had + V3 , S + would/should + have + v3

If clause/past perfect Main clause/future past perfect

Example:
1. He wouldn’t have got an accident if he had been careful
Fact: He got an accident because he wasn’t careful
