Conditional Sentences

Type 0, Type 1, Type 2 & Type 3…पहले ये Video देखकर Concept समझ लो, फिर Practice Video देखकर Practice करेंगे…

Conditional Sentences Type 0 (Zero Conditional)

यह उन तथ्यों को संदर्भित करता है जो आम तौर पर सच होते हैं।
It refers to the facts which are generally true.
पहचान (Identification): अगर ये हो/होता है, तो ये होता है (Agar ye ho/hota hai, to ye hota hai)

Structure: If/When + Present Simple, Present Simple
Note: Present Simple means either Present Indefinite Tense (Do/Does) or Simple Sentence in Present (Is/Am/Are/Has/Have)

Conditional Sentences Type 1

यह एक संभावित स्थिति और इसके संभावित परिणाम को संदर्भित करता है।
It refers to a possible condition and its likely/probable result.
पहचान (Identification): अगर ये हो/करें/करेंगे, तो वो होगा/हो सकता है (Agar ye ho/kare/karenge, to vo hoga/ho sakta hai)
Structure: If + Present Simple, Will/May/Might/Could

Conditional Sentences Type 2

यह एक ऐसी स्थिति को संदर्भित करता है जो काल्पनिक है लेकिन इसका परिणाम अभी या भविष्य में होना संभव है।
It refers to a condition that is hypothetical but its result is possible/ probable to happen now or in the future.

पहचान (Identification): अगर ये होता, तो वो हो जाता/पाता (Agar ye hota, to vo ho jata/pata)
Structure: If + Past Simple, Would/Could
Note: Past Simple means either Past Indefinite Tense (Did) or Simple Sentence in Past (Was/Were/Had)

Conditional Sentences Type 3

यह अतीत में होने वाली एक असंभव स्थिति को संदर्भित करता है और फिर इसके काल्पनिक परिणाम को।
It refers to an impossible situation/condition to happen in the past and its hypothetical result then.
पहचान (Identification): अगर ये (हुआ) होता, तो वो हो चुका होता/कर पाता/सकता था (Agar ye (hua) hota, to vo ho chuka hota/kar pata/sakta tha)
Structure: If + Past Perfect, Would have/Could have

Exceptional Case: You may use “Could” instead of “Could have” in Type 3 sentences; it doesn’t change the meaning at all because we already know that both of them can be interchangeably used for the past possibility cases (सकता था/पाता).
