if conditional sentence
if conditional sentence
if conditional sentence: conditional sentence is used to state the tone, indicating that the hypothesis may occur, where if is the meaning of “if”, guide the conditional adverbial clause, if clause is used in the general present time, and the main sentence is used in the general future time.
Note: In the main sentences used in conjunction with the if conditional sentence, we generally use will to represent the future, rather than be going to represent the future.
PS: In the adverbial clause of time guided by when (when…), after, before, etc., if the main sentence is the general future, the clause should use the general present time to represent the future (the main and subordinate present).
For example: I will call you when I reach Canada. I will call you when I arrive in Canada.
