IF & WISH CLAUSES. Simple Present Simple Present

IF & WISH CLAUSES IF CLAUSES If clause + main clause Koşul cümleleri, yukarıda da görüldüğü gibi temelde, if in içinde bulunduğu if cümleciği ve sonucun bildirildiği bir ana cümlecikten oluşur. Cümle kuruluşunda main clause un if clause dan önce kullanılması anlamda bir değişikliğe neden olmaz. Koşullu cümlelerde verilmek istenen anlama ve zamana dayalı olarak cümlenin yapısı değişir. Bunları Type 1, Type 2 ve Type 3 olarak inceleyeceğiz. Bu incelemeler esnasında, her type için, hem if cümleciğinin hem de ana cümleciğin içinde yer alabilecek yapıları göstereceğiz.

Bu tip cümlelerde her iki cümlecik de Simple Present Tense ile kurulur. Bu tür cümlelerde when ve if kelimelerinin birbirinin yerine kullanılabileceği unutulmamalıdır.

WISH CLAUSES Wish cümleleri, kişinin içinde bulunduğu durumla ilgili farklı bir durumu hayal ettiği cümlelerdir.

BASIC STRUCTURES USED IN WISH CLAUSES SITUATION MAIN CLAUSE A wish about the future Would+V1 past continuous A wish about the present Subject + wish past form of the verb A wish about the past past perfect form of the verb A WISH ABOUT THE FUTURE: Wish in içinde bulunduğu yan cümleyle ana cümledeki özneler aynıysa would kullanılmaz; böyle bir durumda could tercih edilmelidir.

Ex: We couldn t arrive on time, but we were able to save some of the victims. If only we had managed to arrive on time, we could have savedmany more victims than we did. Ex: I don t want to spend time with you so often because you have childish attitudes. If only you would stop behaving like a child, maybe we could spend more time together. 13

AS IF / AS THOUGH: As if / As though, mış gibi, sanki anlamlarını verir. Eğer sahip olunan izlenim gerçeğe yakınsa, olay hangi zamanda gerçekleşiyorsa o tense kullanılmalıdır. Eğer ifade sadece bir benzetmeden ibaretse gerçeği ifade eden cümlenin bir past tense i alınarak cümle kurulur. Ex: The walls are clean; the house seems as if / as though it has been recently painted. (Duvarlar temiz; ev yeni boyanmış gibi gözüküyor.) (İzlenim gerçek olabilir) Ex: He can hardly open his eyes.

(Politika hakkında hiç bir şey bilmemesine rağmen, sanki ülkenin başbakanıymış gibi konuşuyor.)

Ex: The walls were clean; the house seemed as if / as though it had been recently painted. (Duvarlar temizdi; ev yeni boyanmış gibi gözüküyordu.) Ex: He could hardly open his eyes.
