Conditionals

0. If you heat ice, it melts

1. If I study hard, I will pass the exam

2. If I studied hard, I would pass the exam.

3. If I had studied hard, I would have passed the exam

Condition (voorwaarde) = if

Result (resultaat) = in de hoofdzin

Conditionals -0

The zero conditional is used to talk about (scientific) facts which are always true.

2. If you don't learn how to swim, being near water is dangerous.

Als jij geen zwemles neemt, dan blijft het water een  gevaar.

If + present simple, hoofdzin: present simple.

Conditionals- 1

We use the first conditional when we talk about future situations we believe are real or possible.

1. If I study hard, I will pass the exam

'Als ik hard  studeer, zal ik het examen halen'

If + present simple (tegenwoordige tijd)

hoofdzin + 'will' + hele werkwoord

Conditionals -2

The second conditional is used to imagine present or future situations that are  unlikely in reality.

2. If I studied hard, I would pass the exam.

Als ik hard zou studeren, zou ik het examen halen (maar ik doe het niet dus waarschijnlijk  haal ik het niet). 

If + past simple, hoofdzin: would + hele ww.

Conditionals-3

We use the third conditional to talk about something in the past that happened, with a possible different result.

3. If I had studied hard, I would have passed the exam

Als ik hard gestudeerd zou hebben, zou ik het examen gehaald hebben. 

if + past perfect (had + voltooid deelwoord)

hoofdzin: would + have + voltooid deelwoord
