Conditional Sentence

Conditional sentences are sentences

expressing factual implications, or

hypothetical situations and their consequences.

Three Types of Conditional Sentence

1. Open conditional statement

refers to a future event which is conditional on another future

event.e.g.If you eat too much, you’ll get fatter.

We won’t finish in time unless everyone works fast.

It also describes one potential state of reality or circumstance which is dependent on another.

e.g.

If it rains, everyone gets wet.

If the temperature falls below zero, it freezes.

2. Open hypothetical conditional statement

refers to a possible future situation which depends on another possible future situation.

e.g. If you ate too much you would get fatter.

If I went to London, I would visit the British Museum.

3. Unfulfilled hypothesis

refers to situation which an event might have taken place, but did not, because a condition was NOT fulfilled.

e.g.

If you had eaten too much, you would have got fatter.

If I had gone to London, I could have visited the British Museum.
