If -Conditional

There are three types of if- conditional: 1. True in the present or future. 2. Untrue (contrary to fact) in the present or future. 3. Untrue (contrary to fact ) in the past.

If -Conditional
True in the present or future. Pattern: if clause (present form)+ main clause (present form also) Conditional sentences that express true, factual ideas in the present/future, the simple present (not simple future) is used in the if- clause. Examples: a)If I dont eat breakfast, I always get hungry during class. b)If I dont eat breakfast tomorrow morning, I will get hungry during class. c)If it rains, I cant go home.

If -Conditional
Untrue (contrary to fact) in the present or future Pattern: if clause (past form)+ main clause (past form) It tells us something contrary to fact in the present or future. Examples : 1.If I taught this class, I wouldnt give tests. 2.If I were you, I would accept their invitation. 3.If I had enough money, I would buy a car. 4.If I had enough money, I could buy a car.

If -Conditional
Untrue (contrary to fact ) in the past. Pattern: if clause (past perfect) + main clause (past future perfect) Telling about something not true in the past. Examples: a. If I had had much money, I would have bought a car. b. If you had told me about the problem, I would have helped you. c. If they had studied, they would have passed the exam.
