Conditional Sentences

How do you use conditional sentences?

There are three types of conditional sentences. But now, you will only
discuss their two types.
1. How do you express possibilities?
If +S+ simple present, S + will/can/shall + Vbase
The pattern above is used when you think about a real possibility
in the present and future.
Examples :
a) If you know the function of these bottons, you will certainly
understand how to use them.
b) If I have time, I will learn how to browse on the Internet.
2. When you think of an imaginary situation how do you state it?
If +S+ simple past, S + would/could/should + Vbase
When what you say is unreal-that never happens now nor in the
future-you use past tense.
Examples :
a) If I used the Internet chat rooms, I would get some e-
friends.
(It means you don’t use the Internet chat rooms.)
b) If I were a rich person, I would build a cozy house.
(It means you are not rich.)

Notes :Were is use for both singular and plural subjects in

conditional sentences for imaginary situations.
Example: If Hilman were a wise man, he would be a good
leader.
