CONDITIONAL SENTENSE

and
SUBJUNTIVE

GROUP TWO SEMESTER 1


CONDITIONAL SENTENSE
Conditions deal with imagined situations: some
are possible, some are unlikely, some are
impossible. The speaker/writer imagines that
something can or cannot happen or have
happened, and then compares that situation
with possible consequences or outcomes, or
offers further logical conclusions about the
situation.
CONDITIONAL SENTENSE

Conditional sentences are grouped into two types,


namely

REAL UNREAL
CONDITIONALS CONDITIONALS

 FUTURE TIME  SIMPE PRESENT/FUTURE


 HABITUAL ATION  SIMPLE PAST/FUTURE
 COMMAND PAST
1. REAL CONDITIONALS
A. FUTURE TIME
Will
Can
If + S + present
May + verb1
tense, s +
Must
Note: if clause can be placed in front of the sentence
(such as the formula above), may also be placed in the
back after mainclause. This does not change the
meaning of the sentence. With notes, if the if clause is
placed at the rear, a comma is not needed.
FUTURE TIME

Exampels
- If I have the money, I will give it to you

- If you keep driving on this speed,


we may arrive at home before 10 p.m.
B. HABITUAL ACTION

If + s + verb1, s + verb1
S + verb1 + if + s + verb1

Exampels
- If Budi has enough time, he usually
walks to campus.
- I usually watch football on TV every
Saturday night if I do not fall asleep
C. COMMAND/IMPERATIVE

If + s + verb1 + imperative form


Imperative form + if + s + verb1

Exampels
- If you are tired, don’t go any where
- Please, open the door if you come in this
room
2. UNREAL CONDITIONALS

There are two types of sentences, unreal


conditionals, namely: if the facts in the simple
present tense and if the facts in the simple past
tense. Unreal conditionals can be made ​using the
conjunctions "if" (as in real conditionals), the inverse
(put the word help) to the next subject line, by using
the "as if" or "as though", and the verb "wish". Use of
the verb "wish" is to be compared with the use of the
verb "hope".
A. Unreal Conditionals
(if the facts in the simple present tense or future tense)

Would
If + s + verb2, s + Could + verb1
Might

Exampels
- If the teacher didn’t speak quickly, I could understand
better what he is teaching about.
(in truth: the teacher speaks quickly, so that, I can’t
understand well what he is teaching about.)
- He could huge me, if he were here.
(in truth: he can’t hug me, because he is not here)
B. Unreal Conditionals
(if the facts in the simple past tense or future past tense)

Woul
d
If + s + had + verb3, s + + have + verb3
Could
Might
Exampels
- If I had not driver a car fast, I wouldn’t have got accident
yesterday
(in truth: I drive a car fast so I got accident yesterday.)

- They would have passed the exam if they had studied.


(in truth: they didn’t study so they didn’t pass the exam)
