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.
Conditional Sentence Type 1
It is
possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if +
Simple Present, will-Future
Example: If
I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
Conditional Sentence Type 2
It is
possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if +
Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)
Example: If
I found her address, I would send her an invitation.
Conditional Sentence Type 3
It is
impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Form: if +
Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)
Example: If
I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
