5. If Clause
A sentence, often starting
with “if” or “unless”, in
which one half expresses
something which depends
on the other half is called
an “if clause”.

6. In the first conditional, when the if clause is in
the present tense, the main clause will follow
the syntax “will / shall / can / may +
infinitive”. It is an open condition.
Eg:
1. If you work with confidence, you will
succeed.
2. If you get here before eight, we shall catch
the early train.
Rule 1

7. Rule 2
In the second conditional, when the if clause is
in the past tense, the main clause will follow the
syntax “would / should / could / might +
infinitive”. It is used to express something
which is unlikely to be fulfilled.
Eg:
1. If I worked with confidence, I would
succeed.
2. If I knew her name, I would tell you.

8. Rule 3
In the third conditional, when the if clause is in
the past perfect tense, the main clause will
follow the syntax “would / should / could /
might + have + past participle”. It is used to
express an unreal past situation.
Eg:
1. If you had gone there, you could have met
him.
2. If I had worked with confidence, I would
have succeeded.
