Bài tập viết lại câu điều kiện trong tiếng Anh
Cách viết lại câu điều kiện
Cách nhận dạng: dựa vào các liên từ nối giữa 2 vế câu như: so, that’s why, because.
Những mẹo làm bài nhanh trong trường không hiểu nghĩa hoàn toàn:


Nếu cả 2 vế trong câu sử dụng liên từ đều chia ở thì tương lai đơn thì ta dùng cấu trúc câu điều kiện
loại 1 (chú ý không cần phủ định mệnh đề trong câu)



Nếu một vế thì hiện tại cịn một vế ở thì tương lai hoặc hiện tại thì ta vẫn sử dung if loại 2 (chú ý
lúc này ta cần phủ định lại mệnh đề trong câu)



Nếu 2 vế có một thì q khứ thì ta dùng câu điều kiện loại 3



Trong câu có các liên từ nếu phủ định rồi thi khi viết cấu trúc if ta bỏ “not” và ngược lại



Xuất hiện từ because ở vế nào ta thay thế bằng từ “if” ở vế đó.



Nếu xuất hiện các từ như: so hoặc that’s why thì ta để từ “if” ở vế cịn lại trong câu.
