CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
( CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN )
(Tài liệu Tổng Ôn kiến thức thi THPT Quốc Gia 2016 Môn Tiếng Anh )
Nguồn : />
Câu điều kiện gồm có hai mệnh đề: một mệnh đề nêu lên điều kiện được gọi là
mệnh đề chỉ điều kiện (If - clause) và một mệnh đề còn lại nêu lên kết quả được gọi
là mệnh đề chính (Main clause).
Ví dụ: If it rains, I will stay at home.
(= I will stay at home if it rains.)
If- clause: If it rains

Main clause: I will stay at home.

Lưu ý:
-

Hai mệnh đề trong câu điều kiện có thể hoán đổi vị trí cho nhau.

Nếu mệnh đề điều kiện (If – clause) đứng ở đầu câu thì mệnh đề này
được ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính (Main clause) bằng dấu phẩy (,).
Trong tiếng Anh có ba loại câu điều kiện chính: câu điều kiện loại 1,2, và 3.
Tuy nhiên cần lưu ý các loại biến thể khác trong câu điều kiện.

(= Tom isn’t here, so he doesn’t know the answer.) Ex3:
I would call him if I knew his phone number.
(= I don’t know his phone number, so I won’t call him.)
Lưu ý:
Past Subjunctive: (Quá khứ giả định) là hình thức quá khứ đơn của động từ
nhưng ngoại trừ động từ “to be” chúng ta chỉ dùng một hình thức WERE cho tất cả
các ngôi.
Theo ngữ pháp truyền thống chúng ta dùng “were” cho tất cả các ngôi,
nhưng theo ngữ pháp hiện nay “was” cũng được chấp nhận cho ngôi he, she, it và I.
Biến thể cơ bản: COULD và MIGHT có thể thay thế cho WOULD để chỉ
khả năng:
Ex1: If he tried, he might succeed in his job.
(= He might succeed in his job if he tried.)

Ex2: If you had finished your homework last night, you could have gone to the
cinema.
