Conditional Sentences Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Mixed Conditional
69
Do you understand what these sentences imply?
Do you know what they mean?
o "If you had left earlier, you would have caught the train." or
o "You will make yourself ill if you eat all those chocolates."
They are called conditional sentences. A conditional sentence consists of two clauses; the if-clause, and the main
clause. The if-clause can come first or second. When it comes first, we usually put a comma between the two
clauses.

There are 4 (four) types of conditional sentences, including mixed conditional.
1. Conditional Sentence Type 1
The if-clause is in the present tense, the main clause uses will and the infinitive, or simple present.

a. We use conditional sentence type 1 to talk about possible situations in the present or future.

b. We often use conditional type 1 to talk about facts or processes:

o If we stare into the sun, we will hurt our eyes.
Note:
Other modal verbs can also be used in place of will and would.

o If it rains like this all day, the river could flood. (could = will be able to)
