CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.

Conditional Sentence Type 1

→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.

Conditional Sentence Type 2

→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.

Conditional Sentence Type 3

→ It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)

Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.

Well..here are the example from conditional sentence.
 This is Beyonce's song called "If I Were A Boy"



If I Were A Boy lyrics
Songwriters: Carlson, Britney; Gad, Toby; Knowles, Beyonce;

If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/beyonce-lyrics/if-i-were-a-boy-lyrics.html)

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
And you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man

You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy

DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH

Direct and Indirect Speech




When using indirect or reported speech, the form changes. Usually indirect speech is introduced by the verb said, as in I said, Bill said, or they said. Using the verb say in this tense, indicates that something was said in the past. In these cases, the main verb in the reported sentence is put in the past. If the main verb is already in a past tense, then the tense changes to another past tense; it can almost be seen as moving even further into the past.



Verb tense changes also characterize other situations using indirect speech. Note the changes shown in the chart and see the table below for examples. With indirect speech, the use of that is optional.

Direct Speech Þ Indirect Speech
simple present
He said, “I go to school every day.” Þ simple past
He said (that) he went to school every day.
simple past
He said, “I went to school every day.” Þ past perfect
He said (that) he had gone to school every day.
present perfect
He said, “I have gone to school every day.” Þ past perfect
He said (that) he had gone to school every day.
present progressive
He said, “I am going to school every day.” Þ past progressive
He said (that) he was going to school every day.
past progressive
He said, “I was going to school every day.” Þ perfect progressive
He said (that) he had been going to school every day,
future (will)
He said, “I will go to school every day.” Þ would + verb name
He said (that) he would go to school every day.
future (going to)
He said, “I am going to school every day.” Þ present progressive
He said (that) he is going to school every day.
past progressive
He said (that) he was going to school every day
Direct Speech Þ Indirect Speech
auxiliary + verb name
He said, “Do you go to school every day?”
He said, “Where do you go to school?” Þ simple past
He asked me if I went to school every day.*
He asked me where I went to school.
imperative
He said, “Go to school every day.” Þ infinitive
He said to go to school every day.



*Note than when a Yes/No question is being asked in direct speech, then a construction with if or whether is used. If a WH question is being asked, then use the WH to introduce the clause. Also note that with indirect speech, these are examples of embedded questions.

The situation changes if instead of the common said another part of the very to say is used. In that case the verb tenses usually remain the same. Some examples of this situation are given below.


Direct Speech Þ Indirect Speech
simple present + simple present
He says, “I go to school every day.” Þ simple present + simple present
He says (that) he goes to school every day.
present perfect + simple present
He has said, “I go to school every day.” Þ present perfect + simple present
He has said (that) he goes to school every day.
past progressive + simple past
He was saying, “I went to school every day.” Þ past progressive + simple past
He was saying (that) he went to school every day.
past progressive + past perfect
He was saying (that) he had gone to school every day.
future + simple present
He will say, “I go to school every day.” Þ future + simple present
He will say (that) he goes to school every day.


Another situation is the one in which modal constructions are used. If the verb said is used, then the form of the modal, or another modal that has a past meaning is used.


Direct Speech Þ Indirect Speech
can
He said, “I can go to school every day.” Þ could
He said (that) he could go to school every day.
may
He said, “I may go to school every day.” Þ might
He said (that) he might go to school every day.
might
He said, “I might go to school every day.”
must
He said, “I must go to school every day.” Þ had to
He said (that) he had to go to school every day.
have to
He said, “I have to go to school every day.”
should
He said, “I should go to school every day.” Þ should
He said (that) he should go to school every day.
ought to
He said, “I ought to go to school every day.” Þ ought to
He said (that) he ought to go to school every day.



While not all of the possibilities have been listed here, there are enough to provide examples of the main rules governing the use of indirect or reported speech. For other situations, try to extrapolate from the examples here, or better still, refer to a good grammar text or reference book.

Some other verbs that can be used to introduce direct speech are: ask, report, tell, announce, suggest, and inquire. They are not used interchangeably; check a grammar or usage book for further information.

Geezzz...if you don't know me, don't ever judge me!

Kadang emang kita ngomongin orang itu enak banget..tapi, bagaimana kalo Anda sendiri yang diomongin orang? Gw yakin banget gak ada juga orang yang mau diomongin dalam hal negatif. Kalo positif sih yah oke2 aja yah :D
Bagaimana kalo kita ada di posisi orang yang kita omongin? Lo tau lo diomongin negatif pasti gak enak banget yah. So, kalo gak mau diomongin orang, jangan suka ngomongin orang. hehehe.
Dan kalo kita gak tau persis duduk masalah yang dihadapi orang itu, gak usah sok tau :p
Coba tempatkan posisi kita di posisi orang lain :)

So, people! Buka mata kita semua. MASIH BANYAK HAL LAIN YANG LEBIH PENTING DARIPADA NGOMONGIN ORANG. Gw pribadi kesel banget kalo ada orang yang bisik-bisik depan gw trus ngomongin orang..maannn..gak ada kerjaan lain apa hidup lo?

Tulisan ini buat dijadiin renungan aja sih, mari diaplikasikan dalam hidup masing-masing..
Renungan buat Saya, Anda, Kita semua :)

ONE WORD : TRUST

JESUS NEVER LEAVES US

kita mengenalnya sebagai Abraham Lincoln.

Everthing happens for a reason, and everything’s beautiful in HIS time..

Kenapa saya bilang seperti itu?

Tuhan mempunyai cara dan waktuNya sendiri untuk membuat semuanya indah..terkadang saya merasa Tuhan meninggalkan saya, entah dalam masalah saya atau pergumulan saya.

TAPIIIII...Ingat bahwa Tuhan TIDAK PERNAH meninggalkan saya, Saya yang meninggalkanNya.

Saya selalu percaya bahwa masalah yang terjadi itu semata-mata hanya kana untuk membuktikan kemurnian iman Saya. Seberapa besarkah iman saya terhadap Tuhan saya?

Tuhan mempunyai waktuNya sendiri.

Lihat Abraham Lincoln!

Betapa besar pergumulan dan tantangan yang ia hadapi, but at the end, dia bisa menjadi seorang Presiden. What a miracle!

PERCAYA!

Satu kata yang mudah diucapkan tetapi sulit untuk melaksanakannya. 

Tuhan berkata "Percayalah padaKu dengan segenap hati"

Kalau Tuhan seudah berbicara seperti itu, otomatus yang kita perlu lakukan adalah PERCAYA!

Kalau kita merasa Tuhan adalah Bapa kita, harusnya tidak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan bukan? Tuhan tidak lalai menepati janjiNya. Tuhan adalah setia dan Dia SELALU menepati janjiNya..

all you have to do is....Trust HIM..

Percayalah bahwa Tuhan tidak akan pernah meninggalkan saya dan Anda :) 

Lihat bagaimana pengorbanan yang Tuhan lakukan untuk menebus dosa kita semua..

Dia rela mati untuk saudara dan saya..

Saya belum yakin kalau ada orang yang ingin di Salib seperti Yesus untuk menunjukan betapa besar kasih terhadap kita.

JESUS LOVES YOU :)
