CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Conditional sentence merupakan kalimat pengandaian. Terdapat tiga


tipe, yaitu :

1. Future time (possibly true)


If + subject + simple present tense + , + subjek + will/can/may/must + V1

Contoh :
• If I have money, I will buy a new bicycle.
• Our team can finish this homework if our members work together.

2. Present time (not true)


If + subject + simple past tense + , + subjek + would/could/might + V1

Contoh :
• If I had time, I would visit your house.
Fakta : I do not have time, I will not visit your house.
Karena dalam kenyataannya saya tidak punya waktu dan tidak
mengunjungi rumah kamu.

TIPS :
• Kenyatan dari tipe dua ini kebalikan dari kalimat pengandaiannya.
Jika pengandaian berpola negatif, kenyataan berpola positif. Untuk
tense pada kenyataan menjadi simple present tense dan modal
menjadi will/can/may. Sebenarnya kenyataan pada tipe dua sama
dengan kalimat pengandaian pada tipe satu.
• Dalam kalimat pengandaian, selalu menggunakan were meskipun
subjeknya tunggal.

3. Past time (not true)


If + subject + past perfect + , + subjek + would/could/might + have + Verb3

Contoh :
• If we had not lost our way, we would have arrived sooner.
Fakta : we lost our way, we did not arrive sooner.
Karena dalam kenyataannya kita tersesat, kita datang telat.

TIPS :
• Kenyataan pada tipe tiga ini kebalikan dengan kalimat
pengandaiannya serta past perfect diubah menjadi past simple dan
would/could/might have V3 menjadi past simple.
• Selain itu, kita dapat membuat if clause tanpa if dengan cara
meletakkan auxiliary di depan subjek dan tidak merubah tense.
Contoh :
Were I you, I would visit Bali. (If I were you, I would visit Bali)
• Juga, if ... not dapat diubah menjadi unless.
Contoh :
If I don’t have meeting, I will join that holiday = unless I have meeting, I
will join that holiday
