Discussion

Ten sentences above use the conditional sentence of type 1. An activity will probably happen or will be done now or later because the requirements will be fulfilled soon, so, all the the speaker’s desire will be actualized in the present or future.

10 kalimat di atas menggunakan tipe ke 1 dari conditional sentence. Sebuah aktifitas yang akan mungkin terjadi atau akan di lakukan sekarang atau nanti-nanti karena persyaratannya akan di penuhi segera, sehingga, semua keinginan dari si pembicara akan di wujudkan saat ini atau nanti-nanti.

The pattern of conditional sentence of type 1 by using :

If+S+verb1 (s/es )+ O/C , Subject + will + verb 1 + O/C  ( use comma )

Or

Subject +will + verb 1 + O/C  If+S+verb1 (s/es) + O/C ( no comma )

The verb in IF clause uses the base verb. Meanwhile, the verb in the main clause (result clause ) uses modal auxiliary verb “will” plus “base verb” or we can say “simple future.”

Keep in mind, the verb form in IF clause depends on the subject whether it is singular or plural form.  

Explanation

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE  

• Conditional sentence tells about the condition that will be actualized ( possible condition ) or only dreaming ( intention ) because of the particular condition.

• Conditional sentence structure consists -If clause and result clause ( main clause ).

• Use Comma when the result clause (main clause ) is started at the beginning sentence. Otherwise, there is no comma when -IF clause is put after the result clause.

There are 4 types of Conditional Sentence  

1. CONDITIONAL ZERO  

• Conditional zero is used to describe the PHENOMENON,  and GENERAL TRUTH ( THE FACT/REALITY  )

• Conditional zero uses the simple present tense form to reflect the truth.

Pattern :  

IF+S+base verb (s/es ) + O/C , S+base verb (s/es ) + O/C  

Example :  

If it rains , the roads get wet

Analysis  

It tells about the general truth or phenomenon.

It uses the simple present tense form to describe the truth. We can't use simple future in its main clause (result clause ), because it is not a prediction but it’s the fact. It is proven that the roads always get wet after raining.

2. CONDITIONAL TYPE 1  

• Conditional type 1 is used to describe the truth  in the present/future ( The planning (prediction)  will be probably happened )

• In fact , the speaker will actualize his/her dream now or soon .

Pattern :  

If +S+ verb (s/es) + O, S+will+verb1+O/C  

Example :  

If the students study hard, they will pass the exam easily.

Analysis

Fact : it's probably/possible that they will be successful for the exam later because they study hard.

It uses simple future form in its main clause / result clause to describe the possible condition and state the prediction will be true.

3. CONDITIONAL TYPE 2  

• Conditional type 2 is used to describe  the untruth in the present / future

• It is Contrary to the fact in the present or it could be in the future

• The speaker has an intention ( dream ) but he/she can't afford his/her dream comes true in the present/future

Pattern:  

If+S+verb2+O/C , S+Would/Could+verb1+O/C  

Example :  

If I were a bird, I would fly around the world.

Analysis  

Fact in the present/future : I can't fly around the world because I'm not a bird now.

It uses the simple past form to reflect the untruth condition in the present and the speaker's intention will not come true because it is contrary to the real condition for now or future.

4. CONDITIONAL TYPE 3

• Conditional type 3 Is used to describe  the untruth in the past

• It is Contrary to the fact in the past

Pattern :  

If+S+Had+Verb 3+O/C  , S+Would+have+Verb 3+O/C  

Example :  

If I had found my car key, I would have fetched my grandmother at the airport.

Analysis :

Fact in the past  : I didn't find my car key, so I didn't fetch my grandmother by my car at the airport

It reflects a regret for something that we couldn't afford to do in the past.
