  • hypothetical past conditions and their probable present results

  • hypothetical present conditions and their hypothetical past results

Conditional sentences contain two clauses:

  1. Conditional clause (commonly called the if-clause)

  • the condition/situation

  • dependent clause—it needs the hypothetical result to form a complete sentence

  • contains a conditional clause marker—subordinating conjunction such as the words “if,” “when,” “as,” etc.

  1. Main clause

  • the result

  • independent clause—makes sense on its own
