General Definition Conditionals
A conditional sentence is a sentence containing the
word if. There are three common types* of conditional sentence:
- if clause > present simple tense : main clause > future tense (will)
- If you help me, I will help you.
- If I win the lottery, I will buy a new car.
- If it snows tomorrow, we will go skiing.
- if clause > past simple tense : main clause > would
- If you knew her, you would agree with me.
- If I won the lottery, I would buy a new car.
- If it snowed tomorrow, we would go skiing.
- if clause > past perfect tense : main clause > would have
- If you had helped me, I would have helped you.
- If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a new car.
- If it had snowed yesterday, we would have gone skiing.
Of course, it is possible to start conditional
sentences with the main clause:
- I will buy a new car if I win the lottery.
- I would buy a new car if I won the lottery.
- I would have bought a new car if I had won the lottery.
English speakers choose one of the three conditional
structures as follows:
- Conditional one - to express a simple statement of fact or intent
- I will buy a new car if I win the lottery.
- I will go home if you don't stop criticizing me.
- You will fail your exams if you don't start working harder.
- She will lose all her friends if she continues to talk about them behind their backs.
- Conditional two - to refer to a present unreal situation or to a situation in the future that the speaker thinks is unlikely to happen
- If I had a lot of money, I would buy a new car. (but I don't have a lot of money)
- If I were you, I would tell him you're sorry. (but I am not you)
- If I won the lottery, I would buy a new house. (but I don't expect to win the lottery)
- If it snowed tomorrow, we would go skiing. (but I don't have much hope that it will snow)
- Conditional three - to refer to the past and situations that did not happen
- If it had snowed yesterday, we would have gone skiing. (but it didn't snow, so we didn't go skiing)
- If you had studied harder, you would have passed your test. (but you didn't study hard, so you didn't pass your test)
- If I had known that, I would have told you. (but I didn't know, so I didn't tell you)
- If she hadn't been driving slowly, she would have had an accident. (but she was driving slowly, so she didn't have an accident)
* Note: The way
native speakers of English express conditions (use if-clauses) is much
more varied than the 3 rigid combinations of tenses exemplified on this page.
Learners should consult a good grammar reference work for a deeper
understanding of this complex aspect of English grammar.
Spesific Definition
Conditional
tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have happened,
and what we wish would happen. In English, most sentences using the conditional
contain the word if. Many conditional forms in English are used in
sentences that include verbs in one of the past tenses. This usage is referred
to as "the
unreal past" because we use a past tense but we are not actually
referring to something that happened in the past. There are five main ways of
constructing conditional sentences in English. In all cases, these sentences
are made up of an if clause and a main clause. In many negative
conditional sentences, there is an equivalent sentence construction using
"unless" instead of "if".

The zero conditional
The zero
conditional is used for when the time being referred to is now or always
and the situation is real and possible. The zero conditional is often
used to refer to general truths. The tense in both parts of the sentence is the
simple present. In zero conditional sentences, the word "if" can
usually be replaced by the word "when" without changing the meaning.

|
Type 1 conditional
The type 1
conditional is used to refer to the present or future where the situation
is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its
probable result. In these sentences the if clause is in the simple present, and
the main clause is in the simple future.

|
Type 2 conditional
The type 2
conditional is used to refer to a time that is now or any time, and a
situation that is unreal. These sentences are not based on fact. The
type 2 conditional is used to refer to a hypothetical condition and its
probable result. In type 2 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the simple
past, and the main clause uses the present conditional.

|
Type 3 conditional
The type 3
conditional is used to refer to a time that is in the past, and a
situation that is contrary to reality. The facts they are based on are
the opposite of what is expressed. The type 3 conditional is used to refer to
an unreal past condition and its probable past result. In type 3 conditional
sentences, the if clause uses the past perfect, and the main clause uses the
perfect conditional.

|
Mixed type conditional
The mixed
type conditional is used to refer to a time that is in the past, and a
situation that is ongoing into the present. The facts they are based on
are the opposite of what is expressed. The mixed type conditional is used to
refer to an unreal past condition and its probable result in the present. In
mixed type conditional sentences, the if clause uses the past perfect, and the
main clause uses the present conditional.

Zero Conditional
Form
In zero conditional sentences, the tense in both parts of the sentence is
the simple present.

|
If + simple present
|

If this thing happens
|

Examples
- If you heat ice, it melts.
- Ice melts if you heat it.
- When you heat ice, it melts.
- Ice melts when you heat it.
- If it rains, the grass gets wet.
- The grass gets wet if it rains.
- When it rains, the grass gets wet.
- The grass gets wet when it rains.
Function
The zero conditional is used to make statements about the real world, and often refers to general truths, such as scientific facts. In these sentences, the time is now or always and the situation is real and possible.Examples
- If you freeze water, it becomes a solid.
- Plants die if they don't get enough water.
- If my husband has a cold, I usually catch it.
- If public transport is efficient, people stop using their cars.
- If you mix red and blue, you get purple.
Examples
- If Bill phones, tell him to meet me at the cinema.
- Ask Pete if you're not sure what to do.
- If you want to come, call me before 5:00.
- Meet me here if we get separated.
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.
If Clause Type 2
Form
In a Type 2 conditional sentence, the tense in the 'if' clause is the simple
past, and the tense in the main clause is the present conditional or the present
continuous conditional.
If clause (condition)
|
Main clause (result)
|
If +
simple past
|
present conditional or present continuous
conditional
|
If this thing happened
|

Examples
- If it rained, you would get wet.
- You would get wet if it rained.
- If you went to bed earlier you wouldn't be so tired.
- You wouldn't be so tired if you went to bed earlier.
- If she fell, she would hurt herself.
- She would hurt herself if she fell.
Function
The type 2 conditional refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. These sentences are not based on the actual situation. In type 2 conditional sentences, the time is now or any time and the situation is hypothetical.Examples
- If the weather wasn't so bad, we would go to the park. (But the weather is bad so we can't go.)
- If I was the Queen of England, I would give everyone a chicken. (But I am not the Queen.)
- If you really loved me, you would buy me a diamond ring.
- If I knew where she lived, I would go and see her.
Examples
- If I were taller, I would buy this dress.
- If I were 20, I would travel the world.
- If I were you, I would give up smoking.
- If I were a plant, I would love the rain.
Examples
- We might buy a larger house if we had more money
- He could go to the concert if you gave him your ticket.
- If he called me, I couldn't hear.

If Clause Type 3
Form
In a Type 3 conditional sentence, the tense in the 'if' clause is the past
perfect, and the tense in the main clause is the perfect conditional or the perfect
continuous conditional.
If clause (condition)
|
Main clause (result)
|
If +
past perfect
|
perfect conditional or perfect continuous
conditional
|
If this thing had happened
|
that thing would have happened.
|
Examples
- If it had rained, you would have gotten wet.
- You would have gotten wet if it had rained.
- You would have passed your exam if you had worked harder.
- If you had worked harder, you would have passed your exam.
- I would have believed you if you hadn't lied to me before.
- If you hadn't lied to me before, I would have believed you.
Function
The type 3 conditional refers to an impossible condition in the past and its probable result in the past. These sentences are truly hypothetical and unreal, because it is now too late for the condition or its result to exist. There is always some implication of regret with type 3 conditional sentences. The reality is the opposite of, or contrary to, what the sentence expresses. In type 3 conditional sentences, the time is the past and the situation is hypothetical.Examples
- If I had worked harder I would have passed the exam. (But I didn't work hard, and I didn't pass the exam.)
- If I had known you were coming I would have baked a cake. (But I didn't know and I didn't bake a cake.)
- I would have been happy if you had called me on my birthday. (But you didn't call me and I am not happy.)
Examples
- If I had worked harder I might have passed the exam.
- You could have been on time if you had caught the bus.
- If he called you, you could go.
- If you bought my school supplies for me, I might be able to go to the park.
Contractions
Both would and had can be contracted to 'd, which can be confusing if you are not confident with type 3 conditional sentences. Remember 2 rules:1. would never appears in the if-clause so if 'd appears in the if clause, it must be abbreviating had.
2. had never appears before have so if 'd appears on a pronoun just before have, it must be abbreviating would.
Examples
- If I'd known you were in hospital, I'd have visited you.
- If I had known you were in hospital, I would have visited you.
- I'd have bought you a present if I'd known it was your birthday.
- I would have bought you a present if I had known it was your birthday.
- If you'd given me your e-mail, I'd have written to you.
- If you had given me your e-mail, I would have written to you.
The perfect conditional tense
The perfect conditional of any verb is composed of three elements:would + have + past participle
Have followed by the past participle is used in other constructions as well. it is called the "perfect infinitive".
Subject
|
+ would
|
+ have
|
+ past participle
|
He

Mixed Conditional
Present result of a past condition
Form
In this type of mixed conditional sentence, the tense in the 'if' clause is the past perfect, and the tense in the main clause is the present conditional.
If clause (condition)
|
Main clause (result)
|
If + past perfect
|
present conditional
|
If this thing had happened
|
that thing would happen.

Examples
- If I had worked harder at school, I would have a better job now.
- I would have a better job now if I had worked harder at school.
- If we had looked at the map we wouldn't be lost.
- We wouldn't be lost if we had looked at the map.
- If you had caught that plane you would be dead now.
- You would be dead now if you had caught that plane.
Function
This type of mixed conditional refers to an unreal past condition and its probable result in the present. These sentences express a situation which is contrary to reality both in the past and in the present. In these mixed conditional sentences, the time is the past in the "if" clause and in the present in the main clause.Examples
- If I had studied I would have my driving license. (but I didn't study and now I don't have my license)
- I would be a millionaire now if I had taken that job. (but I didn't take the job and I'm not a millionaire)
- If you had spent all your money, you wouldn't buy this jacket. (but you didn't spend all your money and now you can buy this jacket)
Examples
- If you had crashed the car, you might be in trouble.
- I could be a millionaire now if I had invested in ABC Plumbing.
- If I had learned to ski, I might be on the slopes right now.
Past result of present or continuing condition
Form
In this second type of mixed conditional sentence, the tense in the 'if' clause is the simple past, and the tense in the main clause is the perfect conditional.
If clause (condition)
|
Main clause (result)
|
If + simple past
|
perfect conditional
|
If this thing happened
|
that thing would have happened.
|
Examples
- If I wasn't afraid of spiders, I would have picked it up.
- I would have picked it up if I wasn't afraid of spiders.
- If we didn't trust him we would have sacked him months ago.
- We would have sacked him months ago if we didn't trust him.
- If I wasn't in the middle of another meeting, I would have been happy to help you.
- I would have been happy to help you if I wasn't in the middle of another meeting.
Function
These mixed conditional sentences refer to an unreal present situation and its probable (but unreal) pas result. In these mixed conditional sentences, the time in the if clause is now or always and the time in the main clause is before now. For example, "If I wasn't afraid of spiders" is contrary to present reality. I am afraid of spiders. "I would have picked it up" is contrary to past reality. I didn't pick it up.Examples
- If she wasn't afraid of flying she wouldn't have travelled by boat.
- I'd have been able to translate the letter if my Italian was better.
- If I was a good cook, I'd have invited them to lunch.
- If the elephant wasn't in love with the mouse, she'd have trodden on him by now.
General formula
In general, this presupposition sentence formula is as follows:
Pattern Type 1
If at the beginning of a sentence:
Were Replaced Was
In the conditional sentence type 2, were used in place was even though subjects used a 3rd person pronoun (she, he, it) as well as a singular noun. This is to indicate that the underlying assumption is really just a wishful thinking because of her condition can not be met (present unreal situation).
Smoking clause is a clause that stands alone because it has the full, whereas if the clause is a clause that can not stand alone because it means incomplete (dependent clause) initiated if.
If you are still confused by the second clause of this, consider the following example sentences.
In general, this presupposition sentence formula is as follows:
if + condition,
result/consequence
|
or without the comma:
result/consequence
+ if + condition
