Conditionals

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- 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 impossible or 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 did not happen.

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
