Conditional Sentences
To talk about things that are possible, you often use if in a sentence.
A sentence with if is called a conditional sentence. Here is an example
of a conditional sentence with the if-clause printed in color.
If it rains tomorrow, we shall not go to the beach.
In the if-clause, use a verb in the simple present tense. In the main
clause, use shall or will and an infinitive. Here are some more examples.
The if-clauses are in color and the main clauses are in bold print.
If there’s no rice in the cupboard, we’ll buy some more.
If we don’t work hard, we’ll never learn.
If we leave now, we’ll arrive on time.
You may also put the main clause before the if-clause.
We’ll play indoors if it rains.
You’ll get sick if you don’t eat good food.
