Definition

There are two parts in conditional sentences; one is called if clause or conditional clause and the second is called main clause or result clause. in the if clause/ conditional clause, we say a condition and in the main/result clause, we say the result of said condition. For example;

If clause

If he works hard.

If they played well.

Main clause

He will pass the exam.

They would have won the match.

Note: (i) if clause usually comes first, but the main clause can also come first. If we bring the main clause first, the comma is removed and capital ‘’I’’ of ‘’if’’ change into small ‘’I’ ’for example

Main clause

He will pass the exam.

They would have won the match.

If clause

If he works hard.

If they played well.

Kinds of conditional sentences

1). Type I / The first conditional / the will condition.

2). Type II / The second conditional / the would condition.

3). Type III / The third conditional / the would have the condition.

4). Mixed conditional sentences.

5). Zero conditional

Type I / The first conditional / the will condition:

Note: (i) in type 1, we predict the result of the condition.

قسم 1 میں، ہم حالت کے نتیجے کے بارے میں پیش گوئی کرتے ہیں۔

Note: (ii) in type 1, we say such kinds of conditions, which are probable, possible, and expected to happen and if the condition is fulfilled, the result will be expected to happen.

قسم 1 میں، ہم اس قسم کی شرط کہتے ہیں، جن کا ہونا ممکن اور متوقع ہےاور اگر شرط پوری ہو جائے تو نتیجہ متوقع ہو گا۔

Note: (iii) the tense in the if-clause is the present, not the future but the meaning is sometimes in the present and sometimes in the future.

Formula:

If clause

If +sub +the present indefinite tense+,

Main clause

sub +the future indefinite tense

Note: changes are possible both, in ‘’if’’ and ‘’main clauses’’.

Note: ‘type 1’’ is used in three different places.

(1) Here, we predict the result of a condition; we say that if this condition happens like this, the result of it will be like this.

For examples;

If he runs fast, he will win the race.

اگر وہ تیز دوڑتا ہے تو وہ ریس جیت جائے گا۔

If he work hard, he will pass the exam.

محنت کرے گا تو امتحان پاس کرے گا۔

If we will him, he will pass the exam..

اگر ہم اسے چاہیں گے تو وہ امتحان پاس کر لے گا۔
