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 die absoluut niet gebeurd is in het verleden

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

If I had seen you, I would have said hello.
