Tahukah Anda cara menggunakan zero, first dan second conditionals? Baca penjelasannya untuk membantu Anda.
Lihatlah contoh-contoh ini untuk melihat bagaimana zero, first dan second conditionals digunakan.

Conditionals menggambarkan hasil dari suatu kondisi tertentu. Klausa (clause) if memberi tahu Anda kondisinya (If you study hard) dan klausa (clause) utama memberi tahu Anda hasilnya (you will pass your exams). Urutan clause tidak mengubah maknanya.
- If you study hard, you will pass your exams.
- You will pass your exams if you study hard.
Kalimat conditional (conditional sentences) seringkali dibagi menjadi beberapa jenis.
Zero Conditional
Kita menggunakan zero conditional untuk membicarakan hal-hal yang secara umum benar, terutama untuk hukum dan peraturan.
- If I drink too much coffee, I can't sleep at night.
- Ice melts if you heat it.
- When the sun goes down, it gets dark.
Strukturnya adalah: if/when + present simple >> present simple.
First Conditional
Kita menggunakan first conditional ketika kita berbicara tentang situasi masa depan yang kita yakini nyata atau mungkin terjadi.
- If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we'll go to the beach.
- Arsenal will be top of the league if they win.
- When I finish work, I'll call you.
Pada first conditional sentences, strukturnya biasanya: if/when + present simple >> will + infinitive.
Struktur ini juga umum digunakan dengan unless, as long as, as soon as atau in case, untuk menggantikan if.
- I'll leave as soon as the babysitter arrives.
- I don't want to stay in London unless I get a well-paid job.
- I'll give you a key in case I'm not at home.
- You can go to the party, as long as you're back by midnight.
Second Conditional
Second conditional digunakan untuk membayangkan situasi saat ini atau masa depan yang tidak mungkin atau tidak mungkin terjadi dalam kenyataan.
- If we had a garden, we could have a cat.
- If I won a lot of money, I'd buy a big house in the country.
- I wouldn't worry if I were you.
Strukturnya biasanya: if + past simple >> + would + infinitive.
Jika if diikuti dengan kata kerja (verb) be, maka secara grammar benar untuk mengatakan if I were, if he were, if she were and if it were. Namun, struktur ini juga sering kita dengar, terutama dalam bentuk he/she.
- If I were you, I wouldn't mention it.
- If she was prime minister, she would invest more money in schools.
- He would travel more if he was younger.
