Conditional type 1
It’s used to express the possible condition
Sentence pattern:
If clause / present (S + is, am, are / V1 + N, adj,
adv )
Sub clause / present future (S + will + be / V1 + N,
adj, adv)
Study the following example!
· If
mother gives me much money, I’ll buy a new bag
· Shelva
will come to shinta’s birthday party if she invites her
· Hendra
will go to dentist if he has time
· If
I have much money, I’ll treat you for lunch at the canteen
Notes:
1. The
sentences consist of two clauses, the main clause and the if clause
2. The
if clause gives a condition to the main clause. The condition is introduced with
“if”, that is why it is called and if – condition clause. The condition is real
in a sense that the condition may actually happen in the future.
3. The
main clause tells us the result if the condition happens. It is called a result
clause
4. The
main clause takes future tense, as in:
· You
will see Krida Loka conference room
· It
will take about five minutes
(notes:
the use of other present modals in possible, such as: can or may)
5. The
if clause takes simple present tense, as in:
· If
you pass the hall
· If
you pass the hall
· If
you go there on foot
6. The
if clause can be in initial or final position. When you put in the initial,
don’t forget to put a comma (,)
