Conditional
Sentences / If-Clauses Type I, II und III
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
→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Present,
will-Future
Example: If I
find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
If Clause Type 1
Form
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.
Note: Main clause and / or if clause might
be negative. See Simple Present
und will-Future
on how to form negative sentences.
Example: If I
don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.
Use
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.
Example: If I
find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
I want to send an invitation to a
friend. I just have to find her address. I am quite sure, however, that I will
find it.
Example: If John
has the money, he will buy a Ferrari.
I know John very well and I know that
he earns a lot of money and that he loves Ferraris. So I think it is very
likely that sooner or later he will have the money to buy a Ferrari.
·
Conditional Sentence Type 2
→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional
I (= would + Infinitive)
Example: If I
found her address, I would send her an invitation.
If Clause Type 2
Form
if + Simple Past, main clause with 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.
Note: Main clause and / or if clause might
be negative. See Simple
Past und Conditional
I on how to form negative sentences.
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.
Use
Conditional Sentences Type II refer
to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation
were different. I don't really expect the situation to change, however. I just
imagine „what would happen if …“
Example: If I
found her address, I would send her an invitation.
I would like to send an invitation to
a friend. I have looked everywhere for her address, but I cannot find it. So
now I think it is rather unlikely that I will eventually find her address.
Example: If John
had the money, he would buy a Ferrari.
I know John very well and I know that
he doesn't have much money, but he loves Ferraris. He would like to own a
Ferrari (in his dreams). But I think it is very unlikely that he will have the
money to buy one in the near future.
· Conditional Sentence Type 3
→ It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the
past.
Form: if + Past
Perfect, Conditional
II (= would + have + Past Participle)
Example: If I had
found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
If Clause Type 3
Form
if + Past Perfect, main clause with Conditional II
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.
Note: Main clause and / or if clause might
be negative. See Past
Perfect and Conditional
II on how to form negative sentences.
Example: If I
hadn’t studied, I wouldn’t have passed my exams.
Use
Conditional Sentences Type III refer
to situations in the past. An action could have happened in the past if a
certain condition had been fulfilled. Things were different then, however. We
just imagine, what would have happened if the situation had been fulfilled.
Example: If I had
found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
Sometime in the past, I wanted to
send an invitation to a friend. I didn't find her address, however. So in the
end I didn't send her an invitation.
Example: If John
had had the money, he would have bought a Ferrari.
I knew John very well and I know that
he never had much money, but he loved Ferraris. He would have loved to own a
Ferrari, but he never had the money to buy one.
