MATERI : CONDITIONAL CLAUSE
In English grammar, a conditional clause is a type of adverbial clause that states a
hypothesis or condition, real (factual) or imagined (counterfactual). A sentence containing
one or more conditional clauses and a main clause—which expresses the result of the
condition—is called a conditional sentence or conditional construction.
A conditional clause is most often introduced by the subordinating conjunction if; other
conditional subordinators include unless, even if, provided that, on [the] condition that, as
long as and in the case of. Note that unless functions as a negativesubordinator.
Conditional clauses tend to come at the beginning of complex sentences— sentences
containing an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses—but, like other
adverbial clauses, may also come at the end.
Types of Conditional Clauses
There are six main types of conditional sentences based on likelihood and tense: general
rule/law of nature, open future condition, unlikely future condition, impossible future
condition, impossible past condition, and unknown past condition. See below for definitions
and examples of these, provided by John Seely in Grammar for Teachers.
• General rule: This event or action is a law of nature, it always happens.
Example: "The equilibrium between liquid and vapor is upset if the temperature is
increased."
• Open future condition: This event or action may or may not happen. Example: "If
you start thinking about this game, it will drive you crazy."
• Unlikely future condition: This event or action probably won't happen. Example:
"But if you really wanted to be on Malibu Beach, you'd be there."
• Impossible future condition: This event or action could never happen. Example:
"If I were you, I would go to the conference center itself and ask to see someone in
security."
• Impossible past condition: This past event or action did not happen. Example: "I
would have resigned if they had made the decision themselves."
• Unknown past condition: The conditions of this past event or action are unknown;
it might have happened and it might not have. Example: "If he had been working for
three days and three nights then it was in the suit he was wearing now,"
