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). Je kan de zin met het hoofdgedeelte laat beginnen of met if het enige verschil is een comma als met een If zin begint.   Example: -

–I will change the design if you think this one’s better.

–If you think this one’s better, I will change the design.
