Conditional Sentence ( Kalimat
pengandaian) adalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan sesuatu yang
mungkin terjadi atau mungkin tidak terjadi seperti yang diharapkan. Kalimat pengandaian terdiri atas dua bagian, yaitu
man clause (induk kalimat) dan if clause (anak kalimat). Dalam if clause
terkandung syarat-syarat yang harus dipenuhi agar keadaan seperti terkandung
dalam main clause dapat terwujud. Oleh karena itu, conditional sentences
disebut juga kalimat bersyarat. Conditional Sentences
atau kalimat pengandaian terdiri dari dua jenis yaitu real conditional (nyata)
dan unreal/ contrary to fact (tidak nyata).
Conditional sentences
pada umumnya memiliki ciri-ciri sebagai berikut:
A. Digunakannya kata if dalam anak kalimat
(subordinate clause). Karena clause ini diawali oleh if maka disebut if
clause.
B. Digunakannya modal
auxiliary, seperti will, can, may, must, would,
could, might, etc. pada pokok kalimat (main clause).
