Wstęp
Dla osób uczących się języka angielskiego ważne jest, aby szybko i sprawnie
opanować bardziej skomplikowane konstrukcje składniowe – dzięki temu możliwa staje
się swobodna komunikacja w tym języku. Nie jest to wcale takie trudne. Aby się o tym
przekonać, sięgnij po repetytorium Lingo „Angielski. Tryby warunkowe”.
Książka jest skierowana do uczniów, maturzystów, studentów, osób
przygotowujących się do egzaminów językowych, a także wszystkich, którzy chcą
uporządkować i poszerzyć swoją wiedzę o trybach warunkowych, będących jedną
z ważniejszych konstrukcji składniowych angielszczyzny. Uwzględnia materiał
wymagany na maturze oraz egzaminach takich jak First Certificate in English czy
Certificate in Advanced English.
Opłaca się poświęcić nieco trudu nauce gramatyki – bez wątpienia zaowocuje to
wyraźnym pogłębieniem biernej i czynnej znajomości angielskiego. Język to przebogate
medium umożliwiające komunikację pomiędzy ludźmi. W trakcie jego rozwoju obok
imponującego zasobu słownictwa ukształtowało się wiele konstrukcji gramatycznych
pozwalających na sprawne przekazywanie informacji. W niniejszej publikacji
proponujemy dokładniejsze zaznajomienie się z trybami warunkowymi – obszarem
tematycznym gramatyki angielskiej, który często nastręcza wiele problemów uczącym
się języka angielskiego.
Podręcznik składa się z krótkiego wprowadzenia, rozdziałów tematycznych oraz
klucza do ćwiczeń pozwalającego sprawdzić poprawność odpowiedzi. Rozpoczyna go
krótki test sprawdzający, który pozwoli Ci zorientować się, jakim zagadnieniom musisz

poświęcić więcej uwagi. Rozdziały obejmują wstępną charakterystykę problematyki,

której są poświęcone, część merytoryczną prezentującą odpowiednie zasady
gramatyczne zilustrowaną starannie dobranymi przykładami wraz z ich polskimi
tłumaczeniami oraz zestaw ćwiczeń pozwalający opanować i utrwalić omawiane
zagadnienia. Dwa końcowe rozdziały książki to dodatkowa porcja ćwiczeń a także
krótkie podsumowanie omawianych zagadnień w pigułce. Na końcu podręcznika
znajdziesz klucz z rozwiązaniami wszystkich ćwiczeń – dzięki niemu łatwo skontrolujesz
swoje odpowiedzi.
Angielskie tryby warunkowe nie będą miały teraz dla Ciebie tajemnic!
Z życzeniami sukcesów

Wprowadzenie
Tryby warunkowe należą do konstrukcji dość trudnych dla Polaków. Np. w języku
polskim właściwie nie zaznacza się (odkąd wyszło z powszechnego użycia wyrażenie typu
„zrobiłbym był, zaprosiłbym był”) różnica między zdaniami warunkowymi drugiego
i trzeciego typu, np.:
If she were taller, she would play basketball.

Gdyby była wyższa, grałaby w koszykówkę.
If she had been taller, she would have played basketball.

Gdyby była wyższa, grałaby w koszykówkę.
If I knew her address, I would visit her.

Gdybym znał jej adres, odwiedziłbym ją.
If I had known her address, I would have visited her.

Gdybym znał jej adres, odwiedziłbym ją.
Kłopoty mogą wynikać również z faktu, że w zdaniach warunkowych w języku angielskim

występują inne konstrukcje gramatyczne i czasy niż w języku polskim, np.:
If he runs for President, he will need our support (czas teraźniejszy+czas przyszły).
Jeśli będzie ubiegać się o urząd prezydenta, będzie potrzebował naszego wsparcia.
(czas przyszły+czas przyszły).
If he ran for President, he could win (czas przeszły+tryb warunkowy).

Gdyby ubiegał się o urząd prezydenta, mógłby wygrać.
(tryb warunkowy+tryb warunkowy).
Zdania warunkowe składają się z dwóch zdań: zdania nadrzędnego i podrzędnego.
W zdaniu: “If he runs for President, he will need our support” – “If he runs for President” jest
zdaniem podrzędnym, a “he will need our support” zdaniem nadrzędnym.
Struktura zdania warunkowego wygląda następująco:
If+warunek+rezultat
bądź
Resultat+if+warunek
Kolejność występowania zdań nadrzędnych i podrzędnych jest dowolna.

Rozróżniamy trzy główne typy zdań warunkowych.
Wprowadzenie
Uwaga: Jeśli jako pierwsze w zdaniu warunkowym występuje zdanie nadrzędne, to zazwyczaj
stawiamy po nim przecinek (“If I am happy, I smile a lot”). W przeciwnym
wypadku (pierwsze jest zdanie podrzędne) przecinka nie stawia się (“I smile if I am happy”).
Jako ćwiczenie mnemotechniczne przeczytaj i zapamiętaj poniższy limeryk.
Conditional limerick
Of conditional tenses there are three,
the first is a real possibility
It’s ‘if’ plus will,
for example: ‘you’ll be ill,
if you eat too much’, you see.
Next comes the second conditional

Which is imaginary, unlikely, unreal,
It’s ‘If’ plus past and ‘would’
A sentence like this is good:
‘If I were poor and hungry, I’d steal’
The third conditional comes last,

For an unreal situation in the past,
‘If I’d had a car,
with a top speed of 200 miles an hour
I would’ve been out of there that fast!’

Zastosowanie
Rozróżniamy dwa rodzaje okresów warunkowych I typu
1) Zdania, które mówią o powtarzającym się stanie rzeczy, stałych prawdach (ten typ zdań
nazywany jest niekiedy zerowym okresem warunkowym).
When I am hungry, I am grumpy.

14
When the sun rises, the day begins.

Jeśli słońce wschodzi, zaczyna się dzień.
When it snows, the roads are slippery.

Kiedy pada śnieg, drogi są śliskie.
2) Zdania, które mówią, że jakiś warunek jest możliwy do spełnienia w przyszłości.
If you arrive at midnight, the others will be sleeping.

Jeśli przyjedziesz o północy, inni będą spać.
If we take this road, we will get there in half an hour.

Jeśli pojedziemy tą drogą, dotrzemy tam w ciągu pół godziny.
If I fail the exam, I may lose my scholarship.

Jeśli obleję egzamin, mogę stracić stypendium.
If you see this man, contact the police immediately.

Jeśli zobaczycie tego mężczyznę, skontaktujcie się natychmiast z policją.
If you really want to be helpful, attend the meeting.

If you find any mistakes in my posts, don’t hesitate to tell me.

Jeśli znajdziesz jakiekolwiek błędy, nie wahaj się powiedzieć mi.

If you are looking for Sue, you will find her in the garden.
Jeśli szukasz Sue, znajdziesz ją w ogrodzie.
Obok spójnika if w zdaniu warunkowym pierwszego typu stosuje się również when.
W odniesieniu do teraźniejszości użycie if sugeruje, że coś dzieje się stosunkowo rzadko,
podczas gdy when sugeruje, że coś zdarza się systematycznie, np.:
When Beth is angry, I keep out of her way.

Kiedy Beth jest zła, nie wchodzę jej w drogę (Beth jest dość często zła).
If Beth is angry, I keep out of her way.

Jeśli Beth jest zła, nie wchodzę jej w drogę (Beth jest stosunkowo rzadko zła).
W odniesieniu do przyszłości if sugeruje, że nie jest wiadome, czy warunek zostanie

spełniony czy też nie. When sugeruje, że coś raczej na pewno się wydarzy w pewnym
momencie w przyszłości, np.:
If you come, I will show you the pictures of the Tatras.

Jeśli przyjdziesz, pokażę ci zdjęcia Tatr.
(jeśli chcesz zobaczyć te zdjęcia, to przyjdź do mnie).
When you come, I will show you the pictures of the Tatras.
Kiedy przyjdziesz, pokażę ci zdjęcia Tatr.
(pokażę ci zdjęcia wtedy, kiedy przyjdziesz do mnie przy okazji twojej wizyty u mnie).
Uwaga: Kiedy zdanie warunkowe zaczyna się od zdania podrzędnego, wówczas „then” może
być postawione przed zdaniem nadrzędnym, np. If it rains, then we will stay at home.
W zdaniach warunkowych pierwszego typu możemy stosować shall zamiast will, ale tylko
po pierwszej osobie w liczbie pojedynczej i mnogiej.
If it doesn’t rain, we will/shall go for a walk.

Jeśli nie będzie padać, pójdziemy na spacer.
I will/shall help you if you let me.

Pomogę ci, jeśli mi pozwolisz.

Gdyby płakała, nie wiedziałbym jak zareagować.
Zastosowanie
Zdań warunkowych II typu używamy wtedy, gdy mówimy o nierealnych lub wyimaginowanych
sytuacjach w teraźniejszości oraz o wydarzeniach mało prawdopodobnych, choć teoretycznie
możliwych w przyszłości.
Zdania warunkowe II typu
Nierealne sytuacje w teraźniejszości

Gdyby Warszawa miała więcej mostów, ruch byłby lepiej zorganizowany.

W języku starannym należy używać zawsze “were”: If I/you/he/they were. “Was” występuje
jednakże dość powszechnie w potocznej angielszczyźnie: (If I was your girlfriend, I would
dump you).
If she were more assertive, she would be more successful.

Gdyby była bardziej asertywna, miałaby więcej sukcesów.
If I were you, I wouldn’t be here.

Gdybym był tobą, nie byłoby mnie tu.

THE SHEEP AND THE DOG
Once upon a time the sheep complained to the shepherd about the difference
in his treatment of themselves and his Dog. „Your conduct,“ said they, „is very
strange and, we think, very unfair. We provide you with wool and lambs and milk
and you give us nothing but grass, and even that we have to find for ourselves: but
you get nothing at all from the Dog, and yet you feed him with tit-bits from your
own table.“ Their remarks were overheard by the Dog, who spoke up at once and
said, „Yes, and quite right, too: where you (be)1 if it (not be)2 for me? Thieves
(steal)3 you! Wolves (eat)4 you! Indeed, if I (not keep)5 constant watch over you,
you (be)6 too terrified even to graze!“ The Sheep were obliged to acknowledge
that he spoke the truth, and never again made a grievance of the regard in which
he was held by his master.

Dear Kate,
To start with, I am a married woman, with a very caring and protective husband

4. Dodatkowe uwagi
o właściwościach zdań
warunkowych
Will i would
Zazwyczaj w zdaniach warunkowych po if nie używa się czasowników posiłkowych will

ii would. Są jednak wyjątki. W uprzejmych prośbach, a także kiedy chcemy wyrazić czyjąś
dobrą wolę, upór bądź odmowę, możemy użyć czasu przyszłego w obu członach zdania
warukowego.
If you will wait a moment (=please wait a moment), I will get your file.
Proszę poczekać chwilę, przyniosę panu dokumentację.
I would be most grateful if you would email me a rough estimate (=please send
me a rough estimate).
Byłbym bardzo wdzięczny, gdyby przesłał mi pan przybliżony kosztorys.
If you won’t talk about it (= if you refuse to talk about it), I won’t be able
to help you.
Jeśli nie chcesz o tym porozmawiać, nie będę w stanie ci pomóc.
If you will smoke (= if you insist on smoking), at least do it outside.

Jeśli chcesz palić, przynajmniej pal na zewnątrz.
But for
Człon podrzędny zdania warunkowego III typu można zastąpić wyrażeniem z but for
(=if it hadn’t been for) np.:
But for their help, I wouldn’t have known what to do.

Gdyby nie ich pomoc, nie wiedziałbym, co robić.
But for Mike, we wouldn’t have succeeded.

Gdyby nie Mike, nie odnieślibyśmy sukcesu.
But for the quick reaction of the police, the thieves wouldn’t have been caught.
Gdyby nie szybka reakcja policji, złodzieje nie zostaliby złapani.
He might have won the competition but for the wind blowing in the wrong direction.
Mógłby wygrać konkurs, gdyby wiatr nie wiał w złym kierunku.
But for his mistakes, he would have kept the job.

Gdyby nie jego błędy, utrzymałby się na stanowisku.
Dodatkowe uwagi o właściwościach zdań warunkowych
But for his charm, I would have never agreed to such a ridiculous proposal.
Gdyby nie jego urok, nigdy bym się nie zgodziła na tak śmieszną propozycję.
But for the fog, the plane wouldn’t have landed in Balice.
Gdyby nie mgła, samolot nie wylądowałby w Balicach.
Ćwiczenia
26. Zastąp człon podrzędny zdania warunkowego zaczynającego się na if, zdaniem z but for.

2. If there hadn’t been the war, we wouldn’t have moved to the USA.

been elected.
4. If there hadn’t been the discount, I wouldn’t have bought the car.
5. If there hadn’t been the tip, the police wouldn’t have caught the criminals.
If (I) should, If (I) were to, if it weren’t for
Dozwolone jest posiłkowanie się słowem should w zdaniach podrzędnych okresu warunko-
wego. If + should podkreśla, że wydarzenie lub sytuacja są niezbyt prawdopodobne, jak
również sprawia, że prośba nabiera bardziej taktownego zabarwienia.
If you should go out in such a weather, make sure you close the windows.
Gdybyś miał wyjść w taką pogodę, upewnij się, czy zamknąłeś okna.
If you should feel worse, tell the nurse.

Gdybyś poczuł się gorzej, poinformuj pielęgniarkę.
If + happen to ma podobne właściwości znaczeniowe, może być stosowane razem z should,

by zaakcentować znikome prawdopodobieństwo.
If he happens to call again, tell him I’m out of town.

Gdyby zadzwonił ponownie, powiedz mu, że jestem poza miastem.
If you happen not to do well in the exam, you can take it again.
Gdyby nie powiodło ci się na egzaminie, możesz przystąpić do niego ponownie.
If you should happen to pass a supermarket, could you get me some milk?
Gdybyś przypadkiem mijał supermarket, kupisz mi mleko?
34
Posłużenie się If (I) were to również powoduje, że omawiane przyszłe sytuacje wydają się
mniej prawdopodobne.
If I were to be fired, I would have no regrets.

Gdybym miał być zwolniony, nie miałbym żalu.
If he were to win, it would be the first title of his career.

Gdyby wygrał, byłby to pierwszy tytuł w jego karierze.
Wyrażenie if it weren’t for odpowiada polskiemu bez. Przeważnie używa się go w zdaniach
warunkowych drugiego typu.
If it weren’t for her nose, she would be a pretty girl.

Gdyby nie jej nos, byłaby ładną dziewczyną.
If it weren’t for my boss, I would have a perfect job.

6. If we were to open/ But for our opening a restaurant, it would be a tea and cake
shop.
7. If he should drink/If it hadn’t been for his drinking, all of what happened wouldn’t
have taken place.
5. Inwersja w zdaniach
warunkowych
W zdaniach warunkowych III typu, a także w zdaniach z should, were to, można
zastosować inwersję. Wówczas należy obowiązkowo pominąć spójnik if. Tę konstrukcję
spotyka się w języku oficjalnym.

Gdyby przyjęła tę propozycję, biznes szybko by się rozwinął.

another baby, she would quit her job.
Gdyby Janet urodziła kolejne dziecko, to zrezygnuje z pracy.
If you had heard his passionate words, you would have been fooled yourself. 
Had you heard his passionate words, you would have been fooled yourself.
Gdybyś słyszał jego płomienne słowa, sam dałbyś się nabrać.
Jeśli stosujemy inwersję w zdaniach warunkowych, nie możemy użyć przeczenia w formie
ściągniętej i dlatego powiemy:

Gdybym nie był taki zmęczony, nie przespałbym dzwonka (telefonu).

In case (na wypadek gdyby), ma znaczenie różne od samego if. Kiedy posługujemy się
in case, wyraźnie dajemy do zrozumienia, że jakaś czynność powinna albo będzie podjęta,
aby sprostać pewnym możliwym okolicznościom, np. zapobiec czemuś niechcianemu.
Ask for directions in case you get lost.

Spytaj o drogę, na wypadek gdybyś zabłądził.
Ask for directions if you get lost.

Zdania powyższe mają różne zabarwienie znaczeniowe. Pierwsze zaleca przezorność – np.
w nieznanej (być może słabo zaludnionej okolicy) korzystaj z pierwszej nadarzającej się
okazji i dokładnie wypytaj się o drogę (okazja może się nie powtórzyć i będziesz nocować
pod gołym niebem). Drugie jest raczej banalną radą (ma jednak sens w przypadku nieśmiałej
osoby). Kiedy zabłądzisz, schowaj do kieszeni swoje kompleksy i pytaj o drogę.

7. Zdania warunkowe
w mowie zależnej
Czasy w zdaniach warunkowych pierwszego typu przytoczonych w mowie zależnej
zmieniają się zgodnie z ogólnymi zasadami, np.:
“If you put your mind to it, you will succeed,” she said to him.
„Jeśli się przyłożysz, to ci się uda” – powiedziała mu.
She told him that if he put his mind to it, he would succeed.
Powiedziała mu, że jeśli się przyłoży, to mu się uda.
“If she finds out, you will get into trouble,” he told me.
„Jeśli się ona dowie, wpadniesz w kłopoty” – powiedział mi.
He told me that if she found out, I would get into trouble.

Her mum told her that her food would get cold if she didn’t eat it faster.
Mama powiedziała jej, że wystygnie jej jedzenie, jeśli nie będzie jadła szybciej.
Czasy w zdaniach warunkowych drugiego typu nie zmieniają się, jeśli opisują sytuację
możliwą choć mało realną. Jest to zasada będąca wyjątkiem. Gdybyśmy zastosowali zwykłe
reguły transformacji zmieniłby się sens tych zdań.
a) Zdanie bazowe:
“I would be disappointed if he forgot my birthday,” Jill said.

„Byłabym rozczarowana, gdyby on zapomniał o moich urodzinach”
– powiedziała Jill.
b) Zdanie przekształcone na mowę zależną wedle generalnych reguł i ze zmienionym

sensem:
Jill said that she would have been disappointed if he had forgotten her birthday.
Jill powiedziała, że byłaby rozczarowana, gdyby on zapomniał (był) o jej urodzi-
nach (ale nie zapomniał).
c) Zdanie przekształcone na mowę zależną bez zmiany czasów i, co za tym idzie, bez zna-
czenia zdania bazowego.
46
Jill said that she would be disappointed if he forgot her birthday.

Jill powiedziała, że byłaby rozczarowana, gdyby zapomniał o jej urodzinach.
(identycznie jak w zdaniu bazowym nie jest wykluczona taka możliwość).

„Odetchnąłbym z ulgą, gdyby to był tylko żart” – powiedział Matt.
Matt said that he would be relieved if it were only a joke.

Matt powiedział, że odetchnąłby z ulgą, gdyby to był tylko żart.
“You would feel better if you lost weight,” I told her.

„Poczułabyś się lepiej, gdybyś schudła” – powiedziałem jej.
I told her that she would feel better if she lost weight.
Powiedziałem jej, że poczułaby się lepiej, gdyby schudła.
Natomiast czasy w tych zdaniach warunkowych drugiego typu, które są sprzeczne

ze stanem faktycznym, a więc niemożliwe do spełnienia, zmieniają się w mowie zależnej
zgodnie z ogólnymi zasadami tworzenia mowy zależnej, np.:
“If I were you, I wouldn’t trust people so easily,” Bob told him.
„Gdybym był tobą, to nie ufałbym ludziom tak łatwo” – powiedział Bob.
Bob told him that if he had been him, he wouldn’t have trusted people so easily.
Bob powiedział mu, że gdyby był nim, to nie ufałby ludziom tak łatwo.
“If I were younger, I would travel the world,” said Jed.

„Gdybym był młodszy, to podróżowałbym po świecie” – powiedział Jed.
Jed said that if he had been younger, he would have travelled the world.
Jed powiedział, że gdyby był młodszy, to podróżowałby po świecie.
“He would agree with me if he were here,” she said.

„Zgodziłby się ze mną, gdyby tutaj był” – powiedziała.
She said that he would have agreed with her if he had been there.
Powiedziała, że zgodziłby się z nią, gdyby tam był.
Were to nie ulega zmianie w mowie zależnej, np.:
“If I were to tell you what happened, you wouldn’t believe me,” she said.
„Gdybym ci powiedział, co się wydarzyło, nie uwierzyłbyś mi” – powiedziała.
She said that if she were to tell me what had happened, I wouldn’t believe her.
Powiedziała, że gdyby powiedziała mi, co się wydarzyło, nie uwierzyłbym jej.
Zdania warunkowe w mowie zależnej
“If she were to move abroad, she would only be able to get an unskilled job,”
Tom said.
„Gdyby wyjechała zagranicę, to mogłaby tylko dostać pracę niewymagającą
kwalifikacji – powiedział Tom.
Tom said that if she were to move abroad, she would only be able to get an
unskilled job.
Tom powiedział, że gdyby wyjechała zagranicę, to mogłaby tylko dostać pracę
niewymagającą kwalifikacji.
“If she were to drop out of college, her parents would be devastated,” he told me.
„Gdyby rzuciła studia, jej rodzice byliby zdruzgotani” – powiedział mi.
He told me that if she were to drop out of college, her parents would be
devastated.
Powiedział mi, że gdyby rzuciła studia, to jej rodzice byliby zdruzgotani.
Czasy w zdaniach warunkowych trzeciego typu nie zmieniają się w mowie zależnej.
“If you had done it the right way, you wouldn’t have been in such a mess,” said
Patrick.
„Gdybyś to zrobił we właściwy sposób, nie byłbyś w tak trudnej sytuacji”
– powiedział Patrick.
Patrick said that if I had done it the right way, I wouldn’t have been in such
a mess.
Patrick powiedział, że gdybym to zrobił we właściwy sposób, to nie byłbym w tak
trudnej sytuacji.

Mrs Bloom said that if he hadn’t had so much to drink, he wouldn’t have
insulted them all.
Pani Bloom powiedziała, że gdyby tyle nie pił, to nie obraziłby ich wszystkich.
48
Zdania warunkowe zawierające prośby, nakazy, polecenia można przekształcić na mowę

zależną za pomocą konstrukcji bezokolicznikowej.
“If you have time, clean your room,” she said.

„Jeśli będziesz miał czas, posprzątaj w pokoju” – powiedziała.
She asked me/told me to clean my room if I had time.

Powiedziała mi, bym posprzątał w pokoju, jeśli będę miał czas.
“If you have any problems, let me know,” he said.

„Jeśli będziesz miał jakiekolwiek problem, daj mi znać” – powiedział.
He asked me/told me to let him know if I had any problems.

Powiedział mi, bym dał mu znać, jeśli miałbym jakiekolwiek problemy.
Innym sposobem przekształcenia tego typu zdań warunkowych jest konstrukcja

podmiot+be+bezokolicznik.
She said that if I had time I was to clean my room.

Powiedziała mi, że jeśli będę miał czas, to mam posprzątać w pokoju.
He said that if I had any problems I was to let him know.

Powiedział, że jeśli miałbym jakiekolwiek problemy, to mam dać mu znać.

9. O zdaniach warunkowych
w pigułce
Naukę posługiwania się trybami warunkowym w języku angielskim powinno się zacząć od
opanowanie trzech typów zdań.
Formułując taki czy inny okres warunkowy, zazwyczaj (choć nie zawsze) posiłkujemy się
słówkiem if. Prócz if także inne wyrażenia mogą wprowadzać wypowiedzi warunkowe. Mogą
to być: unless, provided (that)/providing (that), as long as, supposing/suppose,
on (the) condition that, in case, or else, otherwise.
You won’t get any dessert unless you eat your dinner.
Nie dostaniesz deseru, jeśli nie zjesz obiadu.
Eat your dinner, otherwise/or else you won’t get any dessert.
Zjedz obiad w przeciwnym razie nie dostaniesz deseru.
You will get a dessert provided/providing/as long as/on condition that you eat
your dinner.
Dostaniesz deser pod warunkiem, że zjesz obiad.
Zdania warunkowe pierwszego typu
Okres warunkowy pierwszego typu ma następujący bazowy schemat: If + Present Simple

(zdanie podrzędne)|Future Simple (zdanie nadrzędne).
Rzecz jasna w zależności od kontekstu i sytuacji możemy zarówno we frazie podrzędnej jak
i nadrzędnej uciec się do różnych czasów. Np. Present Simple w obu segmentach tego
okresu wskazuje, że odpowiednia czynność bądź sytuacja jest powszechnie przyjęta, typowa
czy regularna. W zdaniu podrzędnym można stosować i inne czasy: Present Continuous,
Present Perfect oraz czasownik should. W zdaniu nadrzędnym może wystąpić Present
Simple, tryb rozkazujący lub czasowniki modalne: may/might, can/could, should/ought
to, must + infinitive.
Wyodrębnia się dwie odmiany okresu warunkowego pierwszego typu:
a) Wypowiedzi o powtarzalnych sytuacjach czy powszechnie przyjętych prawdach

(tę odmianę niekiedy nazywa się zerowym okresem warunkowym). W wypowiedziach
tego typu można wymiennie korzystać obok if również ze spójnika when.
When winter comes, temperatures drop.

Kiedy nadchodzi zima, temperatury spadają.
If you don’t drink enough water, you become dehydrated.

Jeśli nie pijesz wystarczająco dużo wody, odwadniasz się.
76
You get goosebumps if you are cold.

Dostajesz gęsiej skórki, jeśli jest ci zimno.
b) Zdania wskazujące, że jakiś wymóg, życzenie, postulat jest możliwy do spełnienia

w przyszłości.
If the weather is nice, we will eat outside on the patio.

Jeśli pogoda będzie ładna, zjemy na tarasie.
It won’t be a secret if everyone knows.

To nie będzie tajemnica, jeśli każdy będzie wiedzieć.
If you don’t go to bed now, Santa won’t come.

Jeśli teraz nie pójdziesz spać, nie przyjdzie Mikołaj.
Gdy wypowiadamy się o przyszłości, if wskazuje, że raczej nie wiadomo czy warunek
zostanie urzeczywistniony, when sugeruje, że coś raczej na pewno będzie miało miejsce
za jakiś czas.
When he calls, tell him I’ll be back in half an hour.

Kiedy zadzwoni, powiedz mu, że wrócę za pół godziny.
If he calls, tell him I’ll be back in half an hour.

Jeśli zadzwoni, powiedz mu, że wrócę za pół godziny.
Zdania warunkowe drugiego typu
Postać bazowa: If + Past Simple (zdanie podrzędne)|would + infinitive (zdanie nadrzędne)

Można użyć również - w zależności od potrzeby - w zdaniu podrzędnym Past Continuous
lub were to. W zdaniu nadrzędnym natomiast Past Simple albo czasowniki modalne: could,
might + infinitive lub też would + present continuous infitnitive.
Zdaniami warunkowymi posługujemy się do komunikowania myśli o a) nierzeczywistych lub

wyfantazjowanych sytuacjach w teraźniejszości lub b) o wydarzeniach nieprawdopodobnych
choć teoretycznie możliwych w przyszłości.
a)
If he weren’t famous, you wouldn’t look twice at him.
Gdyby nie był sławny, nawet byś na niego nie spojrzała.
If I were you, I’d give myself more time.

Gdybym był tobą, dałbym sobie więcej czasu.
b)
If he lost his job, he would be devastated.
Gdyby stracił pracę, byłby zdruzgotany.
O zdaniach warunkowych w pigułce
If I made lots of money, I would probably spend the rest of my life travelling.
Gdybym zarobił dużo pieniędzy, prawdopodobnie spędziłbym resztę swojego
życia na podróżowaniu.
W zdaniach warunkowych typu II forma was czasownika to be uznawana jest w języku

starannym za niepoprawną – powinniśmy mówić i pisać: If I/you/he/they were.
W potocznej angielszczyźnie was używane jest bez skrupułów.
Zdania warunkowe trzeciego typu.
Forma bazowa: If + Past Perfect (zdanie podrzędne)|would + perfect infinitive (zdanie

nadrzędne). W zdaniu podrzędnym można posłużyć się Past Perfect Continuous a w zdaniu
nadrzędnym could/might + perfect infitive lub would/might + perfect continuous
infinitive.
Zdaniami warunkowymi trzeciego typu posługujemy się, żeby wypowiedzieć przypuszczenia

i domysły dotyczące przeszłości. Wypowiedzi te są zaledwie domniemaniami traktującymi
o tym, co mogłoby mieć miejsce kiedyś, gdyby został spełniony określony warunek.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Gdybym nie widział to na własne oczy, nie uwierzyłbym.
He would have got married if he had met the right woman.

Ożeniłby się, gdyby poznał odpowiednią kobietę.
The dish would have been tasty if it had been warm.

Potrawa byłaby smaczna, gdyby była ciepła.
Mieszane okresy warunkowe
Możliwe jest krzyżowanie ze sobą segmentów poszczególnych typów okresów warunko-

wych. Tworzy się wtedy tzw. mieszane okresy warunkowe. Dzięki temu można precyzyjniej
wypowiadać się o uwarunkowaniach i możliwościach w dziedzinie, o której mówimy.
Najczęściej spotyka się łączenie:
a) Past + Present
If you had taken my advice you wouldn’t be in this position now.

Gdybyś posłuchał mojej rady, nie byłbyś teraz w tej sytuacji.
b) Present + Past
If he were honest, he wouldn’t have kept it from you.

Gdyby był szczery, nie ukrywałby tego przed tobą.
78
c) Past + Future
If she hadn’t been taken ill, she would attend the conference next week.
Gdyby nie rozchorowała się, wzięłaby udział w konferencji w przyszłym
tygodniu.
If (you) should, if (I) were to, if it weren’t for, if it hadn’t been for, but for ...
Możemy posługiwać się słowem should w zdaniach podrzędnych okresu warunkowego,

by powiedzieć o sprawach, których realność jest mało prawdopodobna. Should występuje
zazwyczaj w I okresie i łączy się z trybem rozkazującym.
If you should need me, give me a call.

Gdybyś mnie potrzebował, zadzwoń do mnie.
Zastosowanie zwrotu If (I) were to powoduje, że opisywane przyszłe wydarzenie wydaje

się mniej prawdopodobne.
If you were to buy it at a lower price, I would be surprised.

Gdybyś to kupił po niższej cenie, byłbym zdziwiony.
Wyrażeniami if it weren’t for, if it hadn’t been for, but for posługujemy się w drugim
i trzecim okresie warunkowym – są odpowiednikami polskiego bez.
If it weren’t for her good genes, she wouldn’t look so young.

Gdyby nie jej dobre geny, nie wyglądałaby tak młodo.
If it hadn’t been for the sake of the children, I wouldn’t have helped you.
Gdyby nie wzgląd na dzieci, nie pomogłabym ci.
But for the traffic, we would have arrived much earlier.

Gdyby nie ruch na ulicach, przyjechalibyśmy dużo wcześniej.
If it weren’t for their curiosity, children would never learn anything.

Gdyby nie ich ciekawość, dzieci nigdy by się niczego nie nauczyły.
Inwersja
Inwersja jest dopuszczalna w zdaniach z should i were i w zdaniach warunkowych trzeciego

typu. Opuszczenie spójnika if jest wówczas obligatoryjne. Jeśli stosujemy inwersję, nie mo-
żemy używać przeczenia w postaci ściągniętej.
Should you decide to buy a car, let me know if I can be of any help.
Gdybyś się zdecydował kupić samochód, daj znać czy mogę w czymś pomóc.
O zdaniach warunkowych w pigułce
Were I in better shape, I would swim further.

Gdybym był w lepszej formie, popłynąłbym dalej.
Had I known I would hurt her, I wouldn’t have done it.

Gdybym wiedział, że ją zranię, nie zrobiłbym tego.
Were I not a taxi driver, I wouldn’t know the town so well.

Gdybym nie był taksówkarzem, nie znałbym miasta tak dobrze.
Will i would
Wyjątkowo możemy uciec się do will oraz would po if. Czynimy tak w uprzejmych prośbach,
jak również wówczas, gdy chcemy opisać czyjąś dobrą wolę, podenerwowanie, upór…
If you will follow me, I will show you around the castle.
Proszę pójść za mną, oprowadzę was po zamku.
I would appreciate it if you gave me a lift.

Będę wdzięczny, jeśli mnie podwieziesz.
