Conditionals

IF - zinnen of conditionals

Een if-zin bestaat uit twee gedeelten: het gedeelte dat begint met ‘if’ (if he runs)- de voorwaarde, en het hoofdgedeelte van de zin (he will be on time). Het maakt geen verschil of je de zin met het hoofdgedeelte laat beginnen of met if. Er zijn vier verschillende soorten if-zinnen/conditionals.

Zero Conditional

Het gaat hierbij om gewoontes en feiten.

First conditional

Gebruik: als het best waarschijnlijk is dat iets gaat gebeuren, nu of in de toekomst.

Vorm: if + present simple, will + hele werkwoord

If Daniel leaves, we will be sad.

If you prepare properly, you will pass the test

Second conditional

Gebruik: als het gaat over iets wat niet zo waarschijnlijk is dat het ooit zal gebeuren/ iets in je fantasie, nu of in de toekomst.

Vorm: if + past simple, would + hele werkwoord

If  I knew Daniel was leaving us, I would be so sad!

If you bought that car, you would not have to go by bus to work!

Second conditional

UITZONDERING: 

Als het werkwoord  in je "if-zin" is "to be", dan gebruik je  "I were" in plaats van "I was".

If I were there, I  would make my point.

Third conditional

Gebruik: als het gaat over iets dat absoluut niet gebeurd is in het verleden

Vorm: if+ past perfect, would have + voltooid deelwoord = +ed/(3e rij)

• 0 = facts - If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils.
• I = real or likely situations - If he comes first, he will win the medal.
• II = unlikely or hypothetical situations - If I won the lottery, I would go travelling around the world.
• III = situations that cannot be changed - If I had studied for the test, I would have passed. (But I didn't study, so I didn't pass.)
