The Conditionals: 2 parts in 1 sentence
Conditional sentences, as the name implies, contain a condition: A happens on condition that B happens. They fall into 2 parts: the main clause and the conditional clause. The latter may be introduced by ‘provided that’ or ‘on condition that’, but more often simply begins with ‘if’.
There are various types of conditional sentences:
TYPE 1: PRESENT + PRESENT / If you need any help, just give me a ring.. (Als je hulp nodig hebt, bel me dan gewoon.)
TYPE II: PRESENT + FUTURE / If I ask you nicely, will you take me out? (Als ik je het aardig vraag, neem je me dan mee uit?)
TYPE III: PAST SIMPLE + (would + main verb) / If I told you I love you, would you promise me to be true? (Als ik je zou vertellen dat ik van je hou, zou je me dan beloven trouw te zijn?)
TYPE IV: PAST PERFECT + (would have + past participle) / If I had made a promise, I would have kept my word. (Als ik een belofte had gedaan, dan zou ik me aan mijn woord gehouden hebben.)
