CONDITIONAL
SENTENCES
A.
Definition
Conditional sentences are sentences
expressing factual implications, or hypothetical situations and their
consequences. They are so called because the validity of the main clause of the
sentence is conditional on the existence of certain circumstances, which may be
expressed in a dependent clause or may be understood from the context.
A full conditional sentence (one
which expresses the condition as well as its consequences) therefore contains
two clauses: the dependent clause expressing the condition, called the
protasis; and the main clause expressing the consequence, called the apodosis
(wikipedia).
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.

Types of a Conditional Sentence

Type I (Future)
The type 1 conditional is used
to refer to the present or future where the situation
is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its
probable result.

Type II (Present)
"Second conditional" refers to
the pattern where the condition clause is in the past tense, and the
consequence in conditional mood (using would or, in the
first person and rarely, should). This is used for hypothetical,
counterfactual situations in a present or future time frame (where the
condition expressed is known to be false or is presented as unlikely).
Is a structure used for talking about unreal
situations in the present or in the future. The second conditional is used to
talk about things which are unreal (not true or not possible) in the present or
the future, things which don’t or won’t happen.
The formula:
