                  TENSES IN CONDITIONAL CLAUSES :<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  Clauses that show conditions are called conditional clauses. Sentences with conditional clauses use fixed patterns of Tenses.
                  Conditions are of four types :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Real conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Unreal or improbable conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Past unfulfilled conditions and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  4. Zero conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    The tense forms used in a sentence are determined by the type of the condition in that sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Look at the following examples :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. If it rains, I will not come<\/strong> to your home.
                      (Real condition-Simple present in the conditional clause and Simple Future in the main clause)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. If I were<\/strong> a bird, I would fly<\/strong> high in the sky. (Unreal condition \u2013 Simple Past (were-even with I) in the conditional clause and \u2018would+V\u2019 in the main clause)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. If he had worked<\/strong> hard, he would have passed<\/strong> the examination.
                      (Past unfulfilled condition-Past Perfect in the conditional clause and would + have + Past Participle of verb in the main clause).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    4. If you heat<\/strong> metals, they expand<\/strong>.
                      (Zero conditions : The action certainly leads to the second action. Simple present is used in both the clauses).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      The information may easily be noted in the table form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
