Structure of Conditional Sentencesبناء الجمل الشرطية
The structure of most conditionals is very simple
البناء في معظم الحالات بسيط جداً
There are two basic possibilities
هناك أحتمالان أساسيان
Of course, we add many words and can use various tenses, but the basic structure is usually like
this
بالطبع، نضيف عدة كلمات و بأستطاعتنا أستخدام أزمنة مختلفة، لكن الهيكل الأساسي يكون كالتالي:
If>>> Condition>>> Result
If>>> Y = 10 >>2Y = 20
أو هكذا:
Result >>> If >>> Condition
2Y = 20 >>> If >> Y = 10
First Conditional: real possibility
الشرطية الأولى: أمكانية حقيقية
We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, it is morning. You are at home. You plan to play tennis this afternoon. But there are some clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains
؟ What will you do
If >>> Condition>>> Result
If>>> present simple>>>WILL + base verb
If it rains I will stay home
Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky is cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the present simple tense to talk about the possible future condition. We use WILL + base verb to talk about the possible future result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen. Here are some more examples (do you remember the two basic structures: [IF condition result] and [result IF condition]?):
IF >>>condition >>>result
If>>>present simple >>>WILL + base verb
[
If I see Mary I will tell her
If Tara is free tomorrow he will invite her
If they do not pass their exam their teacher will be sad
? If it rains tomorrow will you stay at home
? If it rains tomorrow what will you do
....
result >>> IF>>> condition
