Câu điều kiện dùng để nêu lên một giả thiết về một sự việc, mà sự việc đó chỉ có thể
xảy ra khi điều kiện được nói đến xảy ra. Câu điều kiện gồm có hai phần (hai mệnh
đề):
Mệnh đề nêu lên điều kiện (còn gọi là mệnh đề IF) là mệnh đề phụ hay mệnh
đề điều kiện
Mệnh đề nêu lên kết quả là mệnh đề chính.
Câu điều kiện loại I còn được gọi là câu điều kiện có thực ở hiện tại.
Điều kiện có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.
Câu điều kiện loại II còn được gọi là câu điều kiện không có thực ở hiện tại.
Điều kiện không thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai, điều kiện chỉ là một giả
thiết, một ước muốn trái ngược với thực trạng hiện tại.
Câu điều kiện loại III là câu điều kiện không có thực trong quá khứ.
Điều kiện không thể xảy ra trong quá khứ, chỉ mang tính ước muốn trong quá
khứ, một giả thiết trái ngược với thực trạng ở quá khứ.
Cách sử dụng: Dùng để diễn tả một sự việc luôn đúng, một chân lý.
Ví dụ: - If you heat the ice, it melts. (Nếu bạn làm nóng băng, nó sẽ tan chảy.)
Đây là một sự thật hiển nhiên, luôn luôn đúng nên ta sẽ sử dụng câu điều kiện loại 0
để nói.
Trong câu điều kiện loại I, mệnh đề “If” ta chia thì HIỆN TẠI ĐƠN và mệnh đề chính
ta chia thì tương lai đơn.
Cách sử dụng: Dùng để giả định về một sự việc có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương
lai.
Ví dụ: - If she comes, I will go with her. (Nếu cô ấy đến, tôi sẽ đi với cô ấy)
Ta hiểu rằng “hiện tại cô ấy vẫn chưa đến”, và ta cũng không biết được rằng cô ấy có
đến hay không (hoàn toàn có thể xảy ra).
Vì vậy giả định “nếu cô ấy đến” là một giả định hoàn toàn có thể xảy ra nên ta sử
dụng câu điều kiện loại 1.
Trong câu điều kiện loại II, mệnh đề “IF” chia thì QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN và động từ trong
mệnh đề chính ta sử dụng cấu trúc: would/ should + động từ nguyên thể.
Cách sử dụng: Dùng để giả định về một sự việc không thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc
tương lai.
Ta thấy có thời gian ở hiện tại là “now” (bây giờ) và hiểu rằng “bây giờ họ không có
nhiều tiền” nên mới đưa ra câu giả định như vậy. Vì thế ta sử dụng câu điều kiện loại
II để diễn đạt một giả định về một sự việc không có thật ở hiện tại.
CHÚ Ý: Trong câu điều kiện loại II, nếu mệnh đề “if” sử dụng động từ “to be” ở thì
quá khứ đơn thì ta chỉ sử dụng “to be” là “were” với tất cả các ngôi.
Ví dụ: - If I were you, I wouldn’t stay at home now. (Nếu tôi là bạn, tôi sẽ không ở
nhà bây giờ.)
Ta thấy chủ ngữ trong mệnh đề “If” là “I” nhưng ta vẫn sử dụng động từ “to be” là
“were” vì trong câu điều kiện loại II này “to be” chia quá khứ là “were” với tất cả các
chủ ngữ.
Trong câu điều kiện loại III, mệnh đề “If” chia thì QUÁ KHỨ HOÀN THÀNH, và
động từ trong mệnh đề chính sẽ sử dụng cấu trúc: would/ should + have + VpII.
Cách sử dụng: Dùng để giả định về một sự việc trái với sự thật trong quá khứ.
Ví dụ: - If she had told me the truth yesterday, I would have helped her. (Nếu cô ấy
nói với tôi sự thật ngày hôm qua, tôi đã giúp cô ấy rồi.)
