 Conditional Sentences Type 1

Definition of Conditional Sentence

Conditional sentences are complex sentences (compound sentences) which are formed from subordinate clauses that begin with the subordinate conjunction if in the form of conditions and the main clause in the form of result / consequence (result). There are 4 types of conditional sentences that are commonly used, namely: type 1, type 2, type 3, and type 0.

You can see the video below about the first conditional material.

In general, the conditional sentence formula is as follows.

complex sentence
subordinate clause	main clause
if + condition	result/consequence

If-clause dapat menempati awal atau tengah kalimat. Ketika if-clause menempati awal kalimat, koma ditempatkan sebelum main clause.
