CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Conditional sentences are sometimes confusing for learners of English as a second language. Conditional sentences play an important role in grammar. They describe a condition and the result that follows. Conditional sentences are made up of two parts: the if-clause (condition) an the main clause (result that follows).

Conditional sentences have three types of conditional sentences :

• Type 1 : condition possible to fulfill

 Simple Present + will-future or (Modal + Infinitive)

Example : 

1. (+) If I study, I will pass the exam
2. (+) I will pass the exam, if I study
3. (-) If I study, I won't fail the exam
4. (-) If I don't study, I will fail the exam

• Type 2 : condition in theory possible to fulfill

 Simple Past + would + Infinitive 

Example :

1. (+) If I studied, I would pass the exam
2. (+) I would pass the exam, if I studied
3. (-) If I studied, I wouldn't fail the exam
4. (-) If I didn't study, I would fail the exam

•  Type 3 : condition not possible to fulfill (too late)

Past Perfect + would + have + Past Participle

Example :

1. (+) If I had studied, I would have passed the exam
2. (+) I would have passed the exam, if I had studied
3. (-) If I had studied, I wouldn't have failed the exam
4. (-) If I hadn't studied, I would have failed the exam
