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.

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 John has the money, he will buy a Ferrari.

Untuk yang g pake koma= use simple present in the “if” clause. As the subject is more than
are person, use the infinite form. Use “will” future in the main clause

Untuk yg pake koma= the “if” clauses is not at the beginning of the sentences. Use “will”
future in the main clause. Use simple present in the “if” clause. The subject is 3rd person
singular, so “s” is added

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.

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.

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.

If John had the money, he would buy a Ferrari.
