IF - zinnen of conditionals

Een if-zin bestaat uit twee gedeelten: het gedeelte dat begint met ‘if’ (if he runs)- de voorwaarde, en het hoofdgedeelte van de zin (he will be on time). Het maakt geen verschil of je de zin met het hoofdgedeelte laat beginnen of met 'if'. Er zijn vier verschillende soorten if-zinnen/conditionals.

Jullie moeten er 4 kennen, de zero-conditional, de first conditional, second conditional en de third conditional.
