英语条件句有时被称为“if 从句”，分为真实条件句和非真实条件句，它们描述了可能发生（现在或将来）或可能发生但没有发生（过去）的事情的结果，由不同的时态组成，主要有四种条件句：零条件句、第一类条件句、第二类条件句和第三类条件句。 一、零条件句（Conditional 0/Present Real Conditional） 1. 格式：If/When + … 一般现在时…，…一般现在时… 2. 用法：当结果总是发生时或绝对真理时使用零条件句，属于真实条件句，比如如果水达到100度，它总是沸腾，例如： If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. 如果水达到100度，就会沸腾。 If people eat too much, they get fat. 如果人们吃得太多，就会发胖。 If you touch a fire, you get burned. 如果你碰了火，你就会被烧伤。 People die if they don't eat. 人不吃就会死。 You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen. 如果你把氢和氧混合，你就会得到水。 Snakes bite if they are scared. 蛇收到惊吓就咬人。 If babies are hungry, they cry. 如果婴儿饿了，他们会哭。 If I eat peanuts, I am sick. 如果我吃花生，我就生病。 解析：这只对我来说是真的，也许不是对每个人都是这样，但每次吃花生我都会生病，因此也属于零条件句。 If the weather is nice, she walks to work. 如果天气好，她就步行去上班。 解析：这只对她来说是真的，也许不是对每个人都是这样，但每次天气好，她就会步行去上班，因此也属于零条件句。 Jerry helps me with my homework when he has time. 杰瑞有时间时帮我做作业。 解析：这只对 Jerry 来说是真的，也许不是对每个人都是这样，但每当 Jerry 有时间时，他就会帮我做作业，因此也属于零条件句。 I read if there is nothing on TV. 如果电视上什么都没有，我就看书。 解析：这只对我来说是真的，也许不是对每个人都是这样，但每当电视上没什么我想看的节目时，我就看书，因此也属于零条件句。 3. if 和 when If 和 when 都可以用于零条件句中，但是 if 表示某事发生的频率较低，而 when 表示某事有规律地发生，例如： When I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach. 当我下班休息一天时，我通常去海滩。 解析：此句表示我有规律地请假。 If I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach. 如果我有一天的假，我通常去海滩。 解析：此句表示我很少有休息日。 二、第一类条件句（Conditional 1/Future Real Conditional） 1. 格式：If/When + …一般现在时…，... 一般将来时… 2. 用法：当用来描述你认为将来可能发生的事情时使用第一类条件句，它也属于真实条件句，因为虽然我们不知道将来会发生什么，但是将来还是有可能会发生，例如： If it rains, I won't go to the park. 如果下雨，我就不去公园。 If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. 如果我今天学习，我今晚就去参加晚会。 If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. 如果我有足够的钱，我会买一些新鞋。 She'll be late if the train is delayed. 如果火车晚点，她会迟到的。 She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon. 如果她不马上离开，她会赶不上公共汽车的。 If I see her, I'll tell her. 如果我见到她，我会告诉她。 3. if 和 when if 表示你不知道某事是否会发生，而 when 表示某件事一定会在某个时刻发生，我们只是在等待它的发生，例如： When you call me, I will give you the address. 当你打电话给我时，我会给你地址。 解析：你稍后会打电话给我，到时候，我会把地址给你。 If you call me, I will give you the address. 如果你打电话给我，我会告诉你地址。 解析：如果你想知道地址，可以打电话给我。  三、第二类条件句（Conditional 2/Present Unreal Conditional） 1. 格式：If + …一般过去时…，… would + 不带 to 不定式… | … would + 不带 to 不定式…，if + …一般过去时… 2. 用法 a. 用来表示与将来事实可能相反的事情，比如在幻想什么东西，例如： If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house.如果我中了彩票，我会买一幢大房子。 If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello.如果我遇到英国女王，我会向她问好。 She would travel all over the world if she were rich.如果她有钱，她会周游世界。 She would pass the exam if she ever studied.如果她学习的话，她会通过考试的。 b. 用来表示现在不可能的事情或情况，因为不是真的，例如： If I had his number, I would call him.如果我有他的电话号码，我会打给他。 解析：我现在没有他的电话号码，描述的不是真的情况。 If I were you, I wouldn't go out with that man.如果我是你，我就不会和那个男人约会。 解析：我不可能是你，描述的不是真的情况。 3. 在第二类条件句中，虽然 was 经常出现在对话中，但是在语法上它是不正确的，在英语写作或考试中要用 were，例如： If he were French, he would live in Paris.如果他是法国人，他会住在巴黎。 If she were rich, she would buy a yacht.如果她有钱，她会买一艘游艇。 I would play basketball if I were taller.如果我再高一点，我就会打篮球。 I would buy that computer if it were cheaper.如果那台电脑便宜的话，我会买的。 4. if 和 when：只有 if 可以用于第二类条件句，而 when 不可以。 5. 情态动词例外 If I went to Egypt, I could learn Arabic.如果我去埃及，我就可以学阿拉伯语。 If he invited you, you really should go.如果他邀请你，你真的应该去。 If she had time, she might go to the party.如果她有时间，她可能会去参加聚会。 四、第三类条件句（Conditional 3/Past Unreal Conditional/Imagined conditions） 1. 格式：If + …过去完成时…，… would（could/should/might）+ have + 过去分词 2. 用法：用来谈论过去，描述一个没有发生的情况，并想象这种情况的结果，例如： If she had studied, she would have passed the exam.如果她学习的话，她就会通过考试了。 If I hadn't eaten so much, I wouldn't have felt sick.如果我没有吃那么多，我就不会觉得恶心了。 If we had taken a taxi, we wouldn't have missed the plane.如果我们乘出租车，就不会误了飞机。 She wouldn't have been tired if she had gone to bed earlier.她要是早点睡觉就不会累了。 She would have become a teacher if she had gone to university.如果她上大学，她就会成为一名教师。 3. if 和 when：只有 if 可以用于第三类条件句，而 when 不可以。 4. 情态动词例外 If I had gone to Egypt, I could have learned Arabic.如果我去了埃及，我就学会阿拉伯语了。 If she had

gone.如果他邀请你，你可能已经去了。 五、混合型条件句（错综时间条件句 Mixed Conditionals） 1. 定义：指同一个句子中包含两种不同的时态，分别用来谈论不同时间所发生的事情，通常由表示事与愿违的虚拟条件句（第三类条件句）和表现在或未来情况的虚拟条件句（第二类条件句）的相应成分组成。 2. 分类 a. 过去<->现在 If I hadn’t missed my bus, I would be in France now.如果我没有错过公共汽车，我现在就在法国了。 If I had slept longer, I wouldn’t be tired now.如果我睡久一点，我现在就不会累了。 If she had tried harder, she would be more successful now.如果她再努力些，她现在会更成功。 if I had saved

解析：此句是零条件句，指的是每当一个人坐在阳光下时，烧伤是坐着的自然结果。 If you sit in the sun, you'll get burned.如果你坐在阳光下，你会被烧伤的 解析：此句是第一类条件句，指的是今天会发生什么，但另一天可能会不同。 2. 第一类条件句和第二类条件句：第一个条件句描述的是我认为将来可能发生的事情，而第二个条件描述的是我认为不会真正发生的事情（不可能发生或发生的可能性很小），例如： If she studies harder, she'll pass the exam.如果她学习更努力，她会通过考试的。 解析：此句是第一类条件句，指的是我认为她有可能会更加努力学习，所以她会及格的。 If she studied harder, she would pass the exam.如果她努力学习，她会通过考试的。 解析：此句是第二类条件句，指的是我觉得她不会再努力学习了，或可能性很小，所以她不会及格。 If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.如果我有足够的钱，我会买一些新鞋。 解析：此句是第一类条件句，指的是我认为我更有可能有足够的钱买鞋子。 If I had enough money I would buy a house with twenty bedrooms and a swimming pool.如果我有足够的钱，我会买一栋有二十间卧室和一个游泳池的房子。 解析：此句是第二类条件句，指的是我可能不会有这么多钱，这只是个梦，不是很真实。 七、其他类型的条件句 1. Should + 主语 + 谓语（动词），部分倒装，此时 should 译为“假如，万一，如果”等，例如： Should you wish to cancel your order, please contact our customer service department on 0111 1111.如果您想取消订单，请致电0111 1111与我们的客户服务部联系。 解析：前半句相当于 If you should wish to cancel your order.
