IF WITH IMPERATIVE, CAN, AND SHOULD
The language features that we should learn in this chapter are if-clauses
with imperative, can, and should.
Generally, we use If+ simple present tense, simple future tense in the
first conditionals. However, to give command or suggestion, we can use
imperative and modal auxiliaries instead of will in the first conditionals.
Can and should can be used to give suggestion.
LKS UNIT 2 Page.15
1. Imperative Sentence
Imperative sentence expresses a command, a suggestion, or an
instruction.
2. Can
We can also use can in the first conditionals. We use this form when
we make present decisions about future ability or suggestion.
3. Should
We can use other modals in the main clause instead of "will" and "can". We can use "should" to
express suggestion/recommendation or advice about the outcome.
Example:
If your mother calls you, you should go to her.
We can also use this way to suggest that something is unlikely to happen, or is not particularly
probable.
Examples:
If you should meet Hani, tell her to call me. (Your chances of meeting Hani are rather slim, but If
you meet her, tell her to call me.)
If Dian should come, ask her to wait. (Dian is unlikely to come, but if she comes, ask her to wait.)
Should can also be put at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, if is omitted.
Example: Should you meet Hani, tell her to call me.
(If you should meet Hani, tell her to call me.)
