    Book Viii: Unit Eleven IF CLAUSES (Conditional Clauses)

    Uploaded by

    Daniel Pulgar
    This document summarizes the three types of if clauses in English: Type I uses future tense in the main clause and simple present in the if clause; Type II uses would or could in the main clause and simple past in the if clause; Type III uses would or could in the main clause and past perfect in the if clause. Examples are provided for each type, along with grammar hints that the if clause can come first with a comma and questions are formed in the main clause, not the if clause.

    II) My brother WOULD GO to the movies more often IF he GOT off work early.

    III) My brother WOULD’VE GONE to the movies last night IF he HAD GOTTEN off work early.

    GRAMMAR HINTS:

     The sentences can begin with the “if clause”. If the sentence begins with the “if clause” you have to use a
    comma (,) to separate the clauses.
     When you make a question it is always in the main clause. NEVER in the IF clause.
     IF clauses do not accept “WAS”, so you have to use “WERE” in every case..
