قاعدة If
قاعدة If لها ثلاث حالات ..
الحالة الأولى:
If + Present Simple, will + infinitive.
Ex. If he studies hard, he will succeed.
- تستخدم لحدث مطابق للواقع, أي أن الشخص يذاكر بالفعل, و لكي نربط مذاكرته في الحاضر بالنتيجة في المستقبل نستخدم الحالة الأولى.
الحالة الثانية:
If + Past Simple, would + infinitive.
Ex. If he studied hard, he would succeed.
-تستخدم للتعبير عن إفتراض في الحاضر, أي أن الشخص لا يذاكر في الحاضر و لكننا نفترض أنه إن يذاكر في الحاضر, سوف ينجح.
الحالة الثالثة:
If + Past Perfect, would have + P.P.
Ex. If he had studied hard, he would have succeeded.
-تستخدم للتعبير عن إفتراض في الماضي, أي أن الشخص لم يذاكر في الماضي و أنه رسب. بمعنى أنه لو كان قد ذاكر لكان قد نجح.

ملاحظات: في الحالات الثانية و الثالثة نفترض عكس الواقع.
Conditional Clauses
* Formation : The three principal sentence patterns using ( if ) or ( unless ) are :
-If ( Present simple ),…will / shall + infinitive.
-If ( Past simple ),…would + infinitive.
-If ( Past perfect ),…would + have + P.P.
N.B. - If the if-clause is in the present simple, the result clause will also be in the
present simple, provided that the sentence is expressing a fact.
- For unlikely or improbable conditions, use ( were ) instead of (was).
- Sometimes conditions are expressed by inversion with the use of
( Were / Had / Should ) + Subject…
