Sentences containing conditional clauses are called
conditional sentences. Conditional causes express the condition. Conditional
clauses begin with 'if', 'unless', 'in case', 'as long as', 'provided that' and
'so long as'. Conditional sentence contains two clauses: conditional clause and
main clause.
Conditional sentence = (conditional clause) + (min clause)
OR (main clause) + (conditional clause)
If you study hard, you will pass
the exam.
If you study hard = conditional
clause
You will pass the exam = main
clause
Types of conditionals
Depending upon the nature of conditional clause and main
clause there are two types of conditionals: real conditional & unreal
conditional.
Real Conditionals
In real conditionals the condition is real. It has two
types: type zero & type one.
Type zero
In type zero the time is now or always and the condition is
real and possible. It is used to express general truths, scientific facts and
universal truths.
Structure:
(Simple present) + (simple present)
Example:
If we climb a mountain, gravity
decreases.
If the opposite poles of magnets
are brought nearer, they get attracted.
Type one
In type one the time is present or future and the condition
is real. It refers to possible condition and probable result.
Structure:
(Simple present) + (will / shall /
may / must / can + v1)
(Simple present) + (imperatives)
Example:
If you read hard, you will pass the
exam.
If you walk in a right path, you
will meet your destination.
Ask police if you are not sure
where to go.
Unreal Conditionals
In unreal conditionals the conditional clause is unreal. It
has two types: type two & type three.
Type two
In type two the time is the present and the situation is
unreal. It is not based on fact, and refers to an unlikely or hypothetical
condition.
Structure:
(Simple past) + (would / should /
could / might + v1)
Example:
If I were a god, I would travel the
universe.
Would tourists visit Nepal if we
gave them huge discount?
Type three
In type three the condition is truly hypothetical and
unreal, because it is now too late for the condition or its result to exist.
Structure:
(Past perfect) + (would / should /
could / might + have + v3)
Example:
If the controller had
contacted the pilot, the plane wouldn't have crashed.
My father would have met me if you
had informed him about me.
