IF CLAUSES "If clause + main clause" Koşul cümleleri temel olarak if'in içinde bulunduğu if cümleciği ve sonucun bildirildiği bir ana cümleden oluşur. Cümle kuruluşunda main clause'un IF clause'dan önce yada sonra kullanılması anlamda bir değişikliğe neden olmaz. IF clause cümle başında iken kendisinden sonra virgül gelir. IF bağlacı cümle ortasında olduğunda virgül kalkar. Koşullu cümlelerde verilmek istenen anlama ve zamana dayalı olarak cümlenin yapısı değişir. Bunlar, Type 0, Type 1, Type 2 ve Type 3 olarak sınıflandırılır: BASIC STRUCTURES USED IN CONDITIONAL SENTENCES SITUATION IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE Type 0: Facts / General truths / Habits Type 1: True in the present / future Simple Future Modal (can, should, may, vs.) Type 2: Untrue in the present / future Simple Past would + verb 1 Type3: Untrue in the past Past Perfect would have + verb3 TYPE 0: Facts/General truths/habitual reactions If Clause + Main Clause Eğer koşul, tabiat olayları, doğa kanunları gibi olayların gerçekleşmesi geçerli bir durumu ifade ediyorsa Type 1 yapısı kullanılır. Bu tip cümlelerde her iki cümlecik de Tense ile kurulur. Bu tür cümlelerde when ve if kelimeleri birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir. e.g. If / When you cool metals, they contract. e.g. If / When I see a student cheating in the exam, I get extremely angry. e.g. If / When the Moon aligns exactly with the Earth and the Sun, we get a lunar eclipse.

TYPE 2: Untrue in the present or future If clause Simple Past + main clause would + verb Type 2'de dikkat edilmesi gereken husus, cümle yapısının past tense olmasına rağmen anlamın şimdiki zaman ya da gelecek zaman olmasıdır.

Bir temel cümleden sonra "otherwise" (aksi takdirde) veya "or else" (yoksa) yapılarını getirirsek, bu yapılar bir "if clause" görevi görürler. Bundan dolayı bu yapıların arkasından getirilen cümlelerin zaman yapıları, if clause'lardan sonra getirilen ana cümleciklerin yapılarıyla aynı şekilde kullanılır. e.g. My father helped me with my homework; otherwise (or else), I wouldn't have been able to finish it. ("If he hadn't helped me" anlamında "otherwise" kullanılmıştır) 14. "Otherwise" ve "or else" yapılarına benzer şekilde kullanabileceğimiz "but for" ve "without" yapıları bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu yapılardan sonra bir cümle getiremeyiz; bir isim veya isim grubu getirebiliriz. e.g. But for their support, it wouldn't have been possible for us to achieve great success. ("If they hadn't supported us" anlamında) e.g. Without their parents' approval, they wouldn't have got married. ("If their parents had not approved...")
