Note:
+) Conditional clauses consist of two parts: the ifclause (hypothesis) and the main clause (result). When the ifclause comesbefore the main clause, the two clauses are seperated with a comma. When the main clause comes before the ifclause, then no comma is necessary.
câu điều kiện gồm 2 phần: mệnh đề IF và mệnh đề chính chỉ kết quả
Example: If I see Tim, I’ll give him his book. I’ll give Tim his book if I see him.
+) We do not normally use will, would or should in an ifclause. However, we can use will or would after if to make a polite request or express insistence or uncertainty (usually with expressions such as I don’t know, I doubt, I wonder, etc.). We can use should after if to talk about something which is possible, but not very likely to happen.
Example: If the weather is fine tomorrow, we will go camping. (NOT if the weather will be fine ...)
If you will fill in this form, I’ll process your application. (Will you please fill in ... – polite request)
If you will not stop shouting, you’ll have to leave. (If you insist on shouting ... – insistence)
I don’t know if he will pass his exams. (uncertainty) If Tom should call, tell him I’ll be late.
(We don not think that Tom is very likely to call.)

+) We can use were instead of was for all persons in the if –clause of Type 2 conditionals.
If he were here, we could have a party.
+) We can omit if in the ifclause. When if is omitted, should (type 1), were (type 2), had (type 3) and the subject are inverted. (có thể bỏ IF trong một số câu mệnh lệnh…)
Example: Should Peter come, tell him to wait. (= should Peter should come, ...) Were I you, I wouldn’t trust him. (= If I were you, ...)
Had he known, he would have called. (= if he had known, ...)
+) Mixed conditionals
If clause Type 2
If nobody paid the bill, Type 2
If he had money, Type 3
If he had won the lottery,
Main clause Type 1
the electricity will be cut off. Type 3
he would have bought her a gift. Type 2
He wouldn’t be asking for money.
Point 2 Other ways of making conditionals
+) or/ or else/ otherwise is another way of say if not
You have to complete the project on schedule, or/ or else/ otherwise you will be fired.
+) Even if can also be used in conditional sentences to emphasize if. Even if you begged him to take the money, he wouldn’t accept.
+) If only can be used as a way of emphasizing if. In addition, the if only clause can also express a wish.
If only you had told me, I could have helped you.
If only we had enough money to go on vacation. (but we don’t have enough money)
+) provided/ providing (that), as long as, on condition (that) these are more emphatic ways of saying if
You can go to the party if you are home before 12.00.
You can go to the party provided you are home before 12.00. You can go home as long as you are home before 12.00.
+) supposing/ suppose/ imagine these ways of expressing conditions without if. Supposing/ suppose/ imagine you were president, how would you change the country?
+) Unless this is an emphatic way of saying if ... not in the if – clause of type1 conditionals. Unless you leave now, you will miss the bus.
(= if you don’t leave now, ...)
(NOT: unless you don’t leave now, ...)

+) If (it) were / was not for / hadn’t been for ...
This describes how one event depends on another
If it were not for Helen, our team would be the worst in the area! (If Helen weren’t a really good player ...)
If it hadn’t been for Jim, the child would have drowned. (If Jim hadn’t jumped in to recue the child ...)
Note: in some situations, we cannot use one of these mentioned above to replace “if” because it may affect the meaning of the sentence, so be careful!
Example: Lateness inevitably causes errors, which in turn means that we are all held up going home at the end of the day. the problem continues, we will consider introducing penalties to deal with offenders. Please make sure all staff are aware of this. (p. 247, practice test 6, TARGET TOEIC second edition)
