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

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 Sentences (Type 1)

Perhatikanlah kalimat-kalimat di bawah ini!

If I have a lot of money, I will buy a new car.

You’ll pass the exams if you study hard.

Kedua contoh kalimat di atas dalam tata bahasa disebut conditional sentences (kalimat pengandaian).

Conditional sentences terdiri dari dua bagian, yaitu subordinate clause (if-clause) yang merupakan

pernyataan syarat dan main clause yang merupakan akibat terpenuhi atau tidaknya syarat yang

terkandung dalam subordinate clause.

Conditional sentences ada tiga jenis. Berikut ini akan kita bahas satu-persatu:

Conditional sentence type 1

if clause : simple present tense

main clause : simple future tense

Pada tipe 1 ini suatu tindakan dalam main clause akan terjadi bila syarat dalam if-clause terpenuhi.

Contoh:

If I have a lot of money, I will buy a new car.

You will master English if you study hard.

Conditional sentence Type 1

December 15, 2008 at 11:39 pm · Filed under English Course ·Tagged conditional sentence, English Course, English grammar, English structure, learning English

Conditional sentence type 1 is used to express something which possibly happens in the future if the condition is fulfilled. The simple present is used in the “If clause”, and the present future is used in the main clause. The pattern is as follows:

If + S + V (Simple Present tense) +…. , S + Will + V1 ….

Examples:

– If I have a lot of money, I will buy a new car.(kalau saya punya banyak uang, saya akan membeli mobil baru)or– I will buy a new car if I have a lot of money.(Saya akan membeli mobil baru kalau saya punya banyak uang)

The sentence above talks about the situation which has not happened yet. It talks about something which can happen (I will buy a car) if the condition (I have much money) is fulfilled.

Do you understand what these sentences imply?Do you know what they mean?

o "If you had left earlier, you would have caught the train." or o "You will make yourself ill if you eat all those chocolates."

They are called conditional sentences. A conditional sentence consists of two clauses; the if-clause, and the main clause. The if-clause can come first or second. When it comes first, we usually put a comma between the two clauses.

There are 4 (four) types of conditional sentences, including mixed conditional.

1. Conditional Sentence Type 1

The if-clause is in the present tense, the main clause uses will and the infinitive, or simple present.

Note:

Other modal verbs can also be used in place of will and would.

o If it rains like this all day, the river might flood. (might = will possibly)o If it rains like this all day, the river could flood. (could = will be able to)

Conditional Sentence Type 2

The if-clause is in the simple past or the past continuous tense, the main clause uses would and the infinitive, or would be and the present participle (Verb-ing).

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Conditional Sentences (kalimat pengandaian) adalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan sesuatu yang mungkin terjadi atau tidak terjadi. Kalimat ini terdiri dari 2 bagian:

1.    Main Clause (Induk kalimat): bagian kalimat oyang dapat berdiri sendiri karena telah memiliki subjek dan predikat.2.    Sub-ordinat Clause/ If Clause (Anak kalimat): bagian kalimat yang tidak dapat berdiri sendiri/ harus melekat pada induk kalimat.Contoh:

Ada 3 bentuk pengandaian: Future Possible Condition, Present Unreal Condition, Past Unreal Con-dition.  Pada buku ini, akan dibahas Future Possible Condition saja (bentuk lain akan dipelajari di SMU). Future Possible Conditional digunakan unutk menyatakan sesuatu yang akan terjadi atau akan dilaku-kan di waktu yang akan datang bila syaratnya terpenuhi.

Pola:

S  +  will  +  V1  + if  + S + V1/V1+s/es

Atau

If   +   S   +   V1/ V1+s/es , S  + will + V1

Keterangan:

If Clause dapat ditempatkan di awal kalimat tanpa mengubah arti, tetapi kalimat kedua harus didahului koma (,)

Conditional Sentences (Part 1): Real ConditionalsBy Swara Bhaskara on May 28, 2009 • 02:46 10 Comments

Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, sering kita berandai-andai. Misalnya, seandainya (jika) kamu mau jadi pacar saya, saya akan buat kamu orang paling bahagia di dunia. Seandainya saya kaya, saya akan bangun hotel bintang 5 di pantai Kuta. Seandainya saya punya sayap, saya akan terbang petikkan bintang untukmu. Dan seterusnya.  Kalimat-kalimat seperti ini disebut kalimat pengandaian atau dalam bahasa Inggris disebut conditional sentences.

Dalam bahasa Inggris, conditional sentences pada umumnya memiliki ciri-ciri sebagai berikut:

a.  digunakannya kata if dalam anak kalimat (subordinate clause). Karena clause ini diawali oleh if maka disebut if clause.

b.  digunakannya modal auxiliary, seperti will, can, may, must, would, could, might, etc. pada pokok kalimat (main clause).

Conditional sentences dikelompokkan menjadi 2 tipe, yaitu: real conditional dan unreal/contrary to fact. Tulisan ini khusus membahas real conditionals, sedangkan untuk unreal conditional dapat dibaca di topik Conditional sentences (Part 2).

Real conditionals (factual / habitual / hypothetical / future possible)

Kalimat pengandaian tipe ini digunakan untuk mengekpresikan situasi atau aktivitas yang biasanya terjadi atau akan terjadi jika situasi pada if clause terpenuhi. Dengan kata lain, apa yang diandaikan itu memiliki peluang untuk terjadi atau menjadi kenyataan.

Sebagai contoh, ketika seorang teman mengajak saya, apakah malam ini saya mau nonton atau tidak, saya mungkin katakan:

If I have the time, I will go.  (Jika saya punya waktu, saya akan pergi).

Kalimat ini secara implisit juga berarti,

If I don’t have the time, I will not go. (Jika saya tidak punya waktu, saya tidak akan pergi).

Penggunaan real conditionals

Kalimat pengandaian tipe ini dapat digunakan untuk menyatakan:

a. Future time

If + S + present tense,  S +

will

+ Verb1can

may

must

Note: if clause bisa diletakkan di depan kalimat (seperti formula di atas), bisa juga diletakkan di belakang setelah main clause. Ini tidak merubah arti kalimat. Dengan catatan, jika if clause diletakkan di belakang, tanda koma tidak diperlukan.

Contoh:

1. If I have the money, I will give it to you.  (Jika saya punya uangnya, saya akan memberikannya kepada kamu).

2. If you keep driving on this speed, we may arrive at home before 10 p.m. (Jika kamu terus nyetir mobil pada kecepatan ini, kita mungkin tiba di rumah sebelum jam 10 malam).

3. I can pass this subject if I study hard. (Saya dapat lulus mata kuliah ini, jika saya belajar giat).4. You must bring an umbrella if you don’t want to get wet. (Kamu harus membawa payung,

jika kamu tidak ingin basah (kehujanan).

b. Habitual (kebiasaan/habit)

If + S + verb1,  S + verb1

Note: Dalam formula ini, modal auxiliary tidak digunakan.

Contoh:

1. If Budi has enough time, he usually walks to campus. (Jika Budi punya cukup waktu, dia biasanya jalan kaki ke kampus).

2. I usually watch football on TV every Saturday night if I do not fall asleep. (Saya biasanya nonton sepakbola di TV tiap Sabtu malam jika saya tidak tertidur).

3. If he has money, he always treats us. (Jika dia punya uang, dia selalu mentraktir kita).

c.  Command (perintah)

If + S + verb1,  S + verb1

Contoh:

1. If you finish with your work, please help me. (Jika kamu selesai dengan pekerjaanmu, tolong bantu saya).

2. Please give me a cigarette if you don’t mind. (Tolong beri saya sepuntung rokok, jika kamu tidak keberatan).

3. If you have time, please meet me in my office.  (Jika kamu punya waktu, tolong temui saya di kantor saya).
