2. MEANING
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses.
They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can
only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled.
Conditional sentence merupakan kalimat majemuk yang berisikan kondisi
mengenai sebuah pengandaian, imajinasi, atau suatu kejadian yang belum
terjadi.
Kalimat pengandaian ini diawali dengan ‘if’ sebagai penanda bahwa
kondisinya memang belum terjadi.
Sedangkan main clause, biasanya berisi konsekuensi atau akibat dari kondisi
pengandaian sebelumnya.
