Conditional If on Story

Weekend Plans



Christine and Margaret are friends. They are both busy because the work and study! But on Wednesday they meet for coffee.

"What are you going to do this weekend?" asks Margaret.

"Well, I have a big project to finish for my design class. But if I can finish it by Friday, I'll do something fun as a treat," says Christine.

"That sounds great!" replies Margaret. "I think the ballet is coming to town.If it isn't too expensive, I'm going to buy tickets. Would you like to come?"

"Well, I don't really like ballet very much. If you want to go to the ballet in the evening, let's do something in the morning," says Christine.

"All right. If you have the energy, let's go swimming!" suggests Margaret.

"That sounds great! If I don't call you on Friday, send me an email at work," agrees Christine. "And if I don't answer, call me again. And if I don't pick up… oh, let's just make plans now! I'm too busy to plan later!"

Conditional If

Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have happened, and what we wish would happen. In English, most sentences using the conditional contain the word if. these sentences are made up of an if clause and a main clause. 


Type 1
The type 1 conditional is used to refer to the present or future where the situation is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. In these sentences the if clause is in the simple present, and the main clause is in the simple future.

If clause
Main clause
If + simple present
simple Future
If this thing happens
that thing will happen
If you don't hurry
you will miss the train
If it rains today
you will get wet


Type 2
The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a time that is now or any time, and a situation that is unreal. These sentences are not based on fact. The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a hypothetical condition and its probable result. In type 2 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the simple past, and the main clause uses the present conditional.

Type 3
The type 3 conditional is used to refer to a time that is in the past, and a situation that is contrary to reality. The facts they are based on are the opposite of what is expressed. The type 3 conditional is used to refer to an unreal past condition and its probable past result. In type 3 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the past perfect, and the main clause uses the perfect conditional.

Passive Voice in the Story

The Monkey and The Crocodile

One day there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile so he asked the crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agree and told the monkey to jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on his top.

Unluckily, the crocodile was very hungry, he stopped in the middle of the river and said to the monkey, “My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be healthy again.”

At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile. “Because I don’t bring my heart,” said the monkey. “I left it under a tree, near some coconuts in the river bank.”
The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top of a tree.

“Where is your heart?” asked the crocodile. “You are foolish,” said the monkey to the crocodile. “Now I am free and I have my heart.
