Conditional sentences

The conditional sentences are sometimes confusing for learners of English.

Watch out:

1) Which type of the conditional sentences is used?

2) Where is the if-clause (e.g. at the beginning or at the end of the conditional sentence)?

There are three types of the if-clauses.

typecondition
I condition possible to fulfill
II condition in theory possible to fulfill
III condition not possible to fulfill (too late)

Form

typeif clausemain clause
I will-future (or Modal + infinitive)
II Simple Past  would + infinitive *
III Past Perfect would + have + past participle *

Examples (if-clause at the beginning)

typeif clausemain clause
I If I study, I will pass the exam.
II If I studied, would pass the exam.
III If I had studied, would have passed the exam.

Examples (if-clause at the end)

typemain clauseif-clause
