1. Conditional
The Conditional Clauses estan compuestos generalmente por dos oraciones que
se unen entre si para asi hacer posible una oracin de causa - efecto,esto quiere
decir que se divide en lo que es If Clause y Result Clause. Como su mismo
nombre lo dice, expresa una condicin para que se efecte otra accin.
Se hace uso necesario del I f para dar origen a la condicin a referirse.
El If Clause, lleva la condicin, mientras que el Result Clause se refiere al efecto.
Ejemplo:
If Clause Result Clause
I f you call me tonight , I will go to your home.
I f its raining , the planes dont take off.
I f I were president , I would set up a better security system.
Conditionals estan clasificados en tres grados ,empezando desde el 0 C.C hasta el 3
C.C , los cuales varan su estructura de acuerdo al grado a referirse. como tambien
veremos el uso de modals y imperatives en algunos casos. Los grados en que se
divide y cuales veremos en los prximos captulos detalladamente son:
0 C.C = Present Factual Conditional
1 C.C = Future Factual Conditional
2 C.C = Present Unreal Conditional
