Definition of Conditional Sentence
Conditional Sentences (Kalimat Pengandaian) adalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan sesuatu yang mungkin terjadi atau mungkin tidak terjadi seperti yang diharapkan.
Conditional Sentences (Kalimat Pengandaian) dalam bahasa Inggris selalu berbentuk kalimat majemuk (Compound Sentences), yaitu kalimat yang terdiri atas :
- Main Clause (Induk Kalimat), adalah bagian dari kalimat majemuk yang dapat berdiri sendiri serta memiliki arti yang lengkap jika berpisah dari bagian yang lain dalam kalimat majemuk.
- Subordinate Clause (Anak Kalimat), adalah bagian dari kalimat majemuk yang tidak dapat berdiri sendiri seandainya berpisah dari bagian yang lain dalam kalimat majemuk.
Pada bentuk Conditional Sentences antara induk kalimat dan anak kalimat dihubungkan dengan "if (jika)".
Example :
If I have a lot of money, I will go to America
I will sleep if I am sleepy
If my father has much money, he will buy a new house
Tiga Macam Tipe Conditional Sentences
Conditional Sentences Type I
Function:
Tipe I digunakan dalam kalimat yang kejadiannya terjadi pada rentang waktu kini (presen) hingga masa depan (future), atau dapat bermakna future karena akibat (main clause) berbentuk future dan subordinate clause berbentuk simple present tense, kejadian yang ada pada main clause yang berbentuk future tersebut akan terjadi bila persyaratan yang ada pada subordinate clause (if...) terpenuhi.
Pattern:
If + simple present tense (V1/Vs), simple future tense (will + V1)
Simple future tense (will + V1) + if + simple present tense (V1/Vs)
Example:
- If she has my address, she will send the invitation to me.
- They will buy a car if they have money.
- My mother will go to Bali if she has a lot of money.

Conditional Sentences Type II
Function:
Tipe II digunakan sebagai aplikasi kejadian masa sekarang atau present. Kejadiannya akan terjadi jika kondisi yang ada pada subodinate clausenya berbeda. Yang membedakan tipe ini dengan tipe pertama adalah kaliamt ini digunakan untuk kalimat pengandaian. Pada tipe I, kondisinya pada subordinate clause berbentuk present dan ini kemungkinan besar terjadi. Sedangkan pada tipe II, kondisi pada subordinate clause berbentuk simple past tense yang menyatakan masa lampau, jika masa lampau adalah masa yang sudah lewat dan kita telah mengetahuinya. Jadi tipe II adalah kalimat pengandaian yang tidak mungkin terjadi, sedangkan tipe I bisa saja terjadi.
Pattern:
If + simple past tense (V2) + , + Would + Past Future Tense
Past Future Tense + if + simple past tense

- If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.
