IF CLAUSE

1. Conditional Type 1
Conditional sentence type 1 digunakan untuk menunjukan sesuatu hal yang mungkin atau tidak mungkin terjadi dari waktu yang akan dating. Conditional type 1 dibentuk dengan “If Clause” (dalam simple present tense) dan “Main Clause” (dalam simple future tense).
If + subject + present + subject 2 + will,can,may,must +verb 1 (simple form)
Contoh :
• If you come with me for a joyride tonight, you will have a great fun.
• If you don’t have any money, you may borrow from me.
2. Conditional Type 2
Conditional type 2 digunakan untuk menunjukan sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan fakta atau yang sesungguhnya di waktu sekarang.
If + S1 + simple past + S2 + woul,could,might + V1/be
Contoh :
• If had time, I would go to the beach with you this weekend
(saya sebenarnya tidak punya waktu sehingga tidak bias pergi)
• He would tell you about it if he were here
(dia akan mengatakan hal itu jika ada di sini, sayangnya dia tidak ada disini)

“IF” dengan menggunakan to be “WERE” pada pola di atas dapat dihilangkan tanpa mengubah makna dengan mengubah struktur polanya ke dalam bentuk inverse :
Were + S1 + adj/advv/N + S2 + would,could,might + V1/be
• He would tell you about if if he were here = Were he here, he would tell you about it

3. Conditional Sentence Type 3
If + S + past perfect + would + have +V3
• If I had had a lot of money, I would have gone to Egypt. (but I didn’t have it, and so I didn’t go to Egypt)
• If you had driven more carefully, you wouldn’t have had an accident.
• If I had know her address, I would have gone to her house.
