Conditional Sentences

Conditional sentences are used to describe things that are not real yet, or that will never be real.
Conditional sentences consist of two parts: the main clause and the if-clause. The if-clause expresses a condition, on which the main clause becomes true or would have become true in the past. There are three different types of conditional sentences:
Type I: real conditions "If the weather is good tomorrow, we will go hiking."
Type II: unreal conditions "If I was a bird, I would fly in the sky."
Type III: unreal conditions in the past "If you had told me before, I would have helped you."
Be careful: NEVER USE "WOULD" IN AN IF-CLAUSE!

Bedingungssätze

Bedingungssätze benutzt man, um Dinge zu beschreiben, die noch nicht real/wahr sind oder nie real sein können ("die unmöglich sind").
Bedingungssätze bestehen aus zwei Teilen: dem Hauptsatz und dem if-Satz. Der if-Satz drückt eine Bedingung aus, unter der der Hauptsatz wahr wird oder in der Vergangenheit wahr geworden wäre. Es gibt drei verschiedene Arten von Bedingungssätzen:
Typ I: realistische Bedingungen "If the weather is good tomorrow, we will go hiking."
Typ II: unrealistische Bedingungen "If I was a bird, I would fly in the sky."
Typ III: unrealistische Bedingungen mit Bezug auf die Vergangenheit "If you had told me before, I would have helped you."
VORSICHT: BENUTZE NIE "WOULD" IN EINEM IF-SATZ!
