SENTENCES

What is conditional sentence?
A conditional sentence is a sentence
structure used to talk about something
(result) that may happen only IF
something else happens first
(a condition)

♡♡♡
Types of Conditional Sentences
1) “If” type One - possible condition or
likely condition.
2) “If” typeTwo - Unlikely imaginary
3) “If” typeThree – Impossible conditions.
Note:- These conditional sentences are
classified according to the degree of
probability that they Express.

♡♡♡
Each type of conditional sentences uses different tenses
to show the difference in the degree of probability.

♡♡♡
The conditional sentence is composed of
two parts.
If clause + main clause
Example:- If you study hard you will get good results.

If clause Main clause

♡♡♡
‘If’ type one (possible situation)

• In type one of the conditional sentences we


talk about possible, real conditions that
have possible results.
• The tense in the ‘if’ clause is in simple
present ,and the tense in the main clause is
in the simple future.

♡♡♡
Structure of the conditional type one
If clause(condition) main clause(result)
If + simple present tense + simple future tense

Example:- If it doesn’t rain today, I will


water the plants.

♡♡♡
• When we write conditional
sentences ,the order of the two
clauses is flexible.
• we can write conditional sentences
in two ways.

♡♡♡
(I)
• If the if clause comes first the two
parts are separated with comma.
Eg:- If it rains tomorrow , we will not
come to the play ground.
(II)
• When the results come first we do not use
the comma between the two clauses.
Eg :- We will not come to the playground
if it rains tomorrow. ♡♡♡
