CHAPTER II THEORETICAL AND FRAMEWORK
A. 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. Conditional sentence is used to express something expected or unexpected
which may or may not be possible. It consist of two clauses, a dependent clause that beginning with IF-Clause and the main Clause.

And according to Oxford Advanced learner Dictionary, a conditional sentence is one beginning with if or
unless.

The place of the main clause and the if-clause could be at the first or the second part of the sentence. It does not matter which come first, as can be seen in
the examples: - he will pass the exam, if he studies hard
- if he studies hard, he will pass the exam -I would go to home if you called me
- if you called me, I would go to home

- If I had enough time now, I would write to my parents. - I would write to my parents, if I had enough time
From the statements above, the writer take a conclusion that conditional sentence has two clauses, the main clause and the if-clause. and the if-clause
can probable happen or not if the certain condition of main clause is fullfilled or not by that time. And The place of the main clause and the if-clause could be
at the first or the second part of the sentence.
1. The Kinds of Conditional Sentences
There are three kinds of conditional sentences basically. Each kind contains a different form of tenses. In each type certain kinds are possible but
students who are studying the conditional for the first time should ignore these kinds and concentrate on the basic forms.
3
Conditional sentences are often called
“future conditional” which had three kinds, they are: a.
Conditional type 1 “present conditional”, conditional sentence type 1 is also called possible condition or real condition. And it is used
more generally to express a hypothetical condition that is potentially true, but not yet verified.
b. Conditional type 2 “past conditional”, conditional sentence type 2 is
also called impossible condition or unreal condition and it is used to refer to current state or event that is known to be false or improbable.
c. Conditional type 3 “past conditional”. Conditional sentence type 3 is
also called has similar meaning with conditional sentence type 2, that is impossible condition or unreal condition. And it is used to refer to
contrary-to-fact past event. The past perfect is used in condition clause.
From the statement above, the writer concluded that each conditional sentence has different kinds and meaning. And then, the writer limits the
discussion only to the explanation of conditional type 1, but the writer still
