Mixed Conditional
What is conditional sentence?
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to
express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain
condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled.

There are some types of conditional sentence. Those are:

1.Zero type Conditional

We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if
clause' and one in the 'main clause'):

If + [ present simple ], .... present simple.

Examples:
- If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils.
- If people eat too much, they get fat.

- If you touch a fire, you get burned.

2.Conditional Type 1 sentences are used when it is likely that the

condition will be fulfilled.

"if" +[ Simple Present ], "will" + [Verb]

Examples

- If it rains, I won't go to the park.

- If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight.
- If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes

3.Conditional Sentence Type 2 Type 2 sentences are used when it is unlikely

that the condition will be fulfilled.

"if" + [Simple past], "would" + [Verb]

Examples:

- If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.(I probably won't win the lottery)
- If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello.
- She would travel all over the world if she were rich.
4. Conditional Sentence Type 3
Type 3 sentences are used when it is impossible for condition to be fulfilled because the
possibility has already passed.

"if" + [Past Perfect], "would have" + [Past Participle]

Examples

- If she had studied, she would have passed the exam (but, really we know she didn't
study and so she didn't pass)
- If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't have felt sick (but I did eat a lot, and so I did
feel sick).
- If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't have missed the plane

REVIEW ON CONDITIONAL SENTENCE

A. Put the correct Conditional Sentence!

(Conditional Sentence type Zero, 1, 2, 3)

1)(I / wake up late / I / be late for work)

3)(Julie / not wear a hat / she / get sunstroke)

4)If I____________________(go) out tonight, I___________________(go) to the

9)If we___________________(not / be) friends, I__________________(be) angry

 11)If she______________(study), she_______________(pass) the exam.
12)If we_______________(arrive) earlier, we_______________(see) John.

5. Mixed Conditional
Mixed conditionals are those unreal conditional sentences whose time in the if-clause is
different than the time in the main-clause.

A. 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 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)
If you had crashed the car, you might be in trouble.

B. PAST RESULT OF PRESENT OR CONTINUING CONDITION

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 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.
TRUE : It is raining right now, so I will not go for a walk
CONDITIONAL : If it were not raining right now, I would go for a walk.

TRUE : I was not living in Jakarta last year. I was not working at a bank.
CONDITIONAL : If I had been living in Jakarta last year, I would have been
working at a bank.

OMITTING IF
a)Were I you, I wouldn’t do that
b)Had I known, I would have told you.

With were and had (past perfect), sometimes if is omitted and the subject and verb are inverted.
In (a): Were I you = If I were you.
In (b): Had I known = If I had known

If can be replaced by words or expressions with a similar meaning.

The most common are:

as long as provided (that)
assuming (that) supposing (that)
on condition (that) unless
on the assumption (that) with the condition (that)
