Today I went through the conditionals sentences. I am sharing the information garnered today:
The conditionals can be classified into three types:
If clause .....
Main clause1. If + present .....future(result) [If he comes to the market, I will meet him]
2. If + past .....would + verb(result)[If you practised hard, you could pass the exam]
3. If + past perfect .....would + have + past participle(result)[If Rohan had come to my house, I would have given him the money]
Now, look at the common errors in the usage of conditionals:
1. If I will pass the exam, I will get admission in the college [Wrong]
If I pass the exam, I will get admission in the college[Right]
2. If I had been there, I would avert the accident[Wrong]
If I were there, I would avert the accident or
If I had been there, I would have averted the accident [Right]
3. If I would have a degree from a top b-school, I would get a great happiness[Wrong]
If I had a degree from a top b-school, I would get a great happiness.[Right]
Looking forward to hearing from you. If it helps, I would continue[wrong sentence].
If it helps, I will continue.
