Conditional Sentence [Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2#]

Conditional Sentence Type I, II, III

Conditional Sentences are sentences expressing factual implication, or hypothetical situations and their consequences. A full conditional sentences expresses the condition as well as its consequences, therefore contains two clauses: the dependent clause expressing the condition, called the protasis; and the main clause expressing the consequence, called the apodosis. An example of such a sentence (in English) is the following :

”If it rains, the picnic will be cancelled.”

Here the condition is expressed by the clause “If it rains”, this being the protasis, while the consequence is expressed by “the picnic will be cancelled”, this being the apodosis. (The protasis may either precede or follow the apodosis; it is equally possible to say “The picnic will be cancelled if it rains”.) In terms of logic, the protasis corresponds to the antecedent, and the apodosis to the consequence.

Language use a variety of grammatical forms and construction in conditional sentences. The forms of verbs used in the protasis and apodosis are often subject to particular rules as regards their tense and mood. Many languages have a specialized type of verb from called the conditional mood – broadly equivalent in meaning to the English “would (do something)” – for use in some types of conditional sentence.

Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled.
