Revision 1: There are three main types of conditional sentences in the English Language: one is used for real situations, two others for unreal situations. Study the scheme of the first one.
Scheme: If + Present Simple, I will +bare infinitive
| Note: Variants can be different:If / whether + Present Simple (or Present Perfect / Present Continuous), I / you,.. + will, can, could, may, might.But the meaning is the same:‘if clause’ doesn’t contain the future ‘will,’ if there are no words: I don’t know, I doubt, etc. |
Revision 2: Compare the sentences in the English and Ukrainian languages:
If the weather is fine, I wil l go to the park. / Якщо погода буде гарною, я піду до парку.
| Note: We don’t use future forms after the words: if, whether, when, on condition that, while, as soon as, after, in case, if only, less, unless, until, before, after,etc. |
Revision 3: Compare the punctuation:
If I am free,I will join you.
I will join you if I am free.
