Conditional
Sentences
You
often suppose, right? Also it is often imply-if, right? Well imply-if it was
said to be a conditional sentence. Conditional sentence in the English language
support is divided into 3 types: possible future condition (condition that may
occur in the future), present unreal condition (condition that is not possible
/ not real now), and past unreal condition (a condition that is not real / not
real in the past).
Into
three types above usually called type 1, type 2, and type 3. For type 1 is also
commonly called a conditional sentence. Example: if it is not raining, I'll go
play futsal afternoon. So in the example sentence modality (conditional
sentence) there are conditions. Requirement is that if it is not raining. As
for type 1 and type 2 is said to be a presupposition sentences that do not fit
or do not fit with the reality of facts, language daily called suppose.
Example:
· If
only I had wings. (Fact: I do not have wings).
· I
hope you now by my side. (Fact: you are not beside me now).
· If
only I had enough money, I would have bought the car. (Fact: I do not have
enough money, and I did not / do not buy the car).

three types above one by one.
