Coditional Sentence

Definition Conditional sentence

A.Definition

            Conditonal Sentence means Sentences that express our wish in the future and past. The differences between our wish in future and past is not about the time but it's about our wish it self.

If we have a wish and we hope that our wish will happen someday or maybe today so we can express our wish in simple present and future tense.

            But, if we have a wish that we express it in the past and it actually didn't happen, so we use simple past, past perfect, past future, and past perfect future.Conditional Sentences is also called If Clause.

The  Formula :

Tipe	Induk kalimat	Anak kalimat
Pertama	Will + verb  1	Present tense(S+V 1+O)
Kedua	Would + verb 1	Past tense(S+V 2+O)
Ketiga	Would have + verb 3	Past perfect tense(S+have+V 3+o)
