Grammar

Conditionals

I. First conditional sentences (clauses) are based on the fact in real time and they express a possible condition in the present or future.

If you come, we’ll go for a walk.

Если ты придешь, мы пойдём на прогулку.

If supply increases, the price will decrease.

Если предложение будет увеличиваться, цена будет уменьшаться.

    This rule applies also to the subordinate clauses of time introduced by when.

II. Second conditional sentences (clauses) are not based on the fact. They express the situation, which is contrary to reality in the present and future.

If I were you, I’d (would) sign this contract.

Если б я был на вашем месте, я бы подписал этот контракт (ещё возможно его подписать).

III. Third conditional sentences (clauses) are not based on the fact. They express the situation, which is contrary to reality in the past.

If they had given us a good discount, we would have signed that contract.

Если бы они сделали скидки, мы бы подписали тот контракт (не реализованное условие).

 The Use of Tenses in the Conditional Sentences

	Subordinate clause (придаточное предложение)	Principal clause (главное предложение)
Conditional I	Present Indefinite (simple)	Future Indefinite (simple)
Conditional II	Past Indefinite (simple)	(should) would +Infinitive
Conditional III	Past Perfect	(should) would + Perfect Infinitive

 

     The Past Indefinite (simple) is used in the second conditional and with wish, if only, would rather and it’s time to express unreal Present and Future.

     The Past Perfect is used in the third conditional and with wish, if only, would rather to express unreal Past.

                                               I wish you were in my place.

                                               Хотелось, чтоб ты был на моём месте.

                                               If only you stopped smoking!

                                               Если б ты только перестал курить!

                                               If only you would have done it before.

                                               Если б ты сделал это раньше.
