If-sentences (voor uitgebreide uitleg zie: TB blz. 150-151)- if + present simple / will (kan nog gebeuren, 'if' is de voorwaarde)
> If I win this race, I will get a wonderful prize. Andersom kan ook:
> I will get a wonderful prize if I win this race. (dit keer zonder komma!)
- if + past simple / would (kan theoretisch wel, niet heel waarschijnlijk)
> If I won the lottery, I would buy a Ferrari.
- if + past perfect / would have (onmogelijk, je praat er achteraf over)
> If I had won the race, I would have been so happy.
