Sentences with clauses of time and condition

Conditional 0

Условие, содержащееся в условном придаточном предложении, рассматривается говорящим как реально предполагаемый факт, относящийся к настоящему времени. Сказуемые главного и придаточного предложений выражаются глаголами в формах изъявительного наклонения.

       if + Present Simple, Present Simple.

If the weather is nice, we go for a walk. – Если погода хорошая, мы ходим на прогулку.

Sentences with time clauses

Когда мы говорим о будущем, в главном предложении сложно-подчинённого предложения используется будущее время. В придаточном предложении для выражения будущего времени за союзами when, as soon as, after, before, until не используется Future Simple. Придаточное предложение относится к будущему времени, но в английском языке в этом предложении используется настоящее простое время (Present Simple):

Conjunction + Present Simple, will + infinitive (без частицы to)

When our guests arrive, we’ll eat. 

As soon as I have some news, I’ll phone you.

I’ll do my work after I have a bath. 

I’ll speak to you again before I leave. 

We’ll stay here until the rain stops.

Conditional I

Сложноподчинённое предложение первого типа с придаточным условия может использоваться для выражения возможных условий и вероятных результатов в будущем:

If they give me some money, I’ll buy this book.

You’ll get wet if you don’t take an umbrella.

Условие, содержащееся в условном придаточном предложении, рассматривается говорящим как реально предполагаемый факт, относящийся к будущему временам:

If the weather is nice, we’ll go for a walk. – Если погода будет хорошая, мы пойдём на прогулку.

Как во временных придаточных предложениях, так и в придаточных условия для выражения будущего времени используется не будущее, а настоящее время.

if + Present Simple, will + infinitive (без частицы to)

Внимание! Условное придаточное предложение может стоять либо перед, либо после главного предложения. Если условное придаточное предложение стоит перед главным, то после него ставится запятая:

I’ll pass my exams if I work hard. 

If I work hard, I’ll pass my exams.

Внимание! If означает возможность того, что что-то произойдет; when выражает то, что, по мнению говорящего, должно обязательно произойти:

If I find your book, I’ll send it to you.

When I get home, I’ll have a bath.
