CONDITIONS: INVERSION
Kata if dapat dihilangkan dalam kalimat-kalimat pengandaian dengan cara membalik
susunan subyek dan kata kerja bantunya. Susunan ini disebut dengan inversion.
Inversion dapat dilakukan hanya dalam kalimat yang mengandung kata-kata : were,
had atau should.
Contoh :
- If you should meet jane, tell her to see me. (Likely type)
Should you meet Jane, tell her to see me.
*should = utk memperhalus bahasa
- If it were not for you, I would be late. (Unlikely type)
Were it not for you, I would be late.
- If you had told me, I would have come. (Impossible type)
Had you told me, I would have come.
