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 three types of Conditional Sentences.

1. Tipe I memiliki pola sebagai berikut:

If clause

Result clause

If clause : If + simple present (V₁/V_s)

Result clause: Simple future (will + V₁) atau simple present (V₁/V_s)

Example:

2. Tipe II (present-untrue condition)

Tipe II memiliki pola sebagai berikut:

If clause: If + simple past (V₂)

Result clause: would + V₁

NB: jika kalimat menggunakan be, maka be yang digunakan hanya ‘were’

Example:
