1. Conditional Sentence Type 1
Rumus:
IF + S + VERB (PRESENT) , S + VERB (PRESENT)
Atau
IF + S + VERB (PRESENT) , S + WILL + VERB
Contoh:
a. If I don’t eat breakfast, I always get hungry during class.
b. If I have the money tomorrow, we can go for movies.
c. If I have time, I will go.
d. If I have a job, I will marry her.
e. If anyone calls, please take a message.
f. If anyone should call, please take a message.
g. Provided you won’t call on me to sing, I will come.
h. Providing you won’t call on me to sing, I will come.
i. In case Tome comes, we will buy some more food.
Pada
contoh kalimat (e) dan (f), ke duanya mempunyai makna yang tidak jauh
berbeda. Bedanya kalimat yang ditambahkan kata should (f) maknanya
kurang yakin dibanding pada kalimat (e). Untuk kata provided, providing, dan kata in case mempunyai fungsi yang sama dengan kata if. Bedanya yaitu dari segi makna. If: jika; provided/providing: asal saja/asalkan: mungkin Tome akan datang.
Note: jika kata if berada di tengah kalimat maka tidak ada koma di antara ke duanya. Contoh:
· If I see him, I will give him a peace of my mind. (pakai koma)
· I will give him a peace of my mind if I see him. (tanpa koma)
2. Conditional Sentence Type 2
Type ke dua disebut present unreal condition
(keadaan yang tidak sesuai kenyataan saat ini). Type ini digunakan
untuk mengandaikan sesuatu yang bertentangan atau tidak sesuai dengan
keadaan sekarang. Kata if diartikan seandainya atau jika saja.
Rumus:
IF + S + VERB (PAST), S + VERB (PAST)
Atau
IF + S + VERB (PAST), S + WOULD + VERB
Contoh:
a. If it were a holiday, we could go. (faktanya: it is not a holiday, and we cannot go).
b. I could fly if I were a bird. (faktanya: i am not a bird, so i cannot fly).
c. I would buy a car if I were rich. (faktanya: i am not rich).
d. I would marry her if she loved me. (faktanya: she doesn’t love me).
e. If I were a president, I would go around the world. (faktanya: I am not a president).
f. I would be so happy if she became my girlfriend. (faktanya: she is not my girlfriend).
Note: kita tidak memakai kata was tapi kata were baik untuk subject tunggal maupun jamak.
3. Conditional Sentence Type 3
Type
ke tiga disebut past unreal condition (keadaan yang tidak nyata di
masa lampau). Type ke dua ini digunakan untuk mengandaikan sesuatu yang
bertentangan atau tidak sesuai dengan kenyataan di masa lampau. Kata
if juga diartikan jika saja atau seandainya.
Rumus:
IF + S + HAD + VERB III, S + HAD + VERB III

Finish! Gimana? Udah mengerti kan mengenai conditional sentence? ^_^
Eh....
Jangan keluar dulu masih ada tambahan nhe TERNYATA DALAM KALIMAT
PENGANDAIAN KATA IF KADANG DIHILANGKAN TAPI MAKNA TETAP SAMA. Mau tahu?
Let’s see the following example! Oh iya, pola ini biasa disebut Inversion (pembalikan).
Contoh:
a. If I were you, I wouldn’t do that menjadi Were I you, I wouldn’t do that.
b. If I had known, I would have told you menjadi Had i known, i would have told you.
c. If anyone should call, please take a message menjadi Should anyone call, please take a message.
Note: yang bisa di inversi hanya kalimat yang berisi kata were, had, dan should. Nah dah mengerti, kan? ^_^
