If-Clauses Type I, II und III

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.

→ It is possible and also very likely that thecondition will be fulfilled.

Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her aninvitation.

→ It is possible but very unlikely, that thecondition will be fulfilled.

Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would+ Infinitive)

Example: If I found her address, I would sendher an invitation.

Were instead of WasIn IF Clauses Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it –.Example: If I were you, I would not do this.

→ It is impossible that the condition will befulfilled because it refers to the past.

Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would+ have + Past Participle)

Example: If I had found her address, I wouldhave sent her an invitation.
