प्रिय उम्मीदवारों,
स्टडी नोट्स आपकी एक प्रभावी रणनीति का हिस्सा हैं जो आपको एक विषय के बारे में सीखने में सहायता करता है. आपका दिमाग तैयारी के दौरान विज़ुअलाइज़ किए गए कीवर्ड और मेमोरी मैप्स के रूप में यादृच्छिक विवरणों का डेटा एकत्र करता है. मुख्य वाक्यांशों और खोजशब्दों को जोड़ना, स्मृति मानचित्र बनाना और महत्वपूर्ण तथ्यों को हाइलाइट करना सीखने की प्रक्रिया को गति में मदद करता है. अध्ययन नोट न केवल आपको प्रभावी ढंग से सीखने में मदद करते हैं बल्कि अंतिम मिनट के संशोधन के दौरान महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं.
Conditional Sentences
Definition:
These sentences comprise two parts – the main clause and the conditional clause or the ‘if clause’.
They are used to denote that the action in the main clause can only take place if a certain condition (conditional clause) is fulfilled.
Some examples (the part in BOLD indicates the conditional clause or the if clause) –
- I would give you a chocolate if you got good marks in your exams.
- When a dog barks nearby her, Sakshi gets scared.
- Unless Anmol helps Nitesh, he will not be able to complete his work in time.
The following words/phrases are used to denote an ‘if-clause’ –
If; unless; as soon as; provided; no sooner; until; when; in case; but for; so long as; etc.
Some basic rules –
1. If the ‘if clause’ is in present tense –
If + Simple present, Simple future
Example – If Harish gets a wicket on this ball, our team will win the match.
2. If the ‘if clause’ is in simple past tense –
If + Simple past, subject + would + V1
Example – If I had money, I would buy you those shoes.
3. If the ‘if clause’ is in past perfect tense –
If + past perfect, subject + would + have + V3
Example – If you had told me about this earlier, I would have helped you.
These sentences can also be expressed/written according to the following structure without any altering to their meanings –
Had + subject +V3 + Object, Subject + would + have + V3
Example – Had you told me about this earlier, I would have helped you.
Some important points to remember –
> If a probability is expressed in a sentence, ‘may/might’ are used instead of ‘will’. (Same for the sentences about permissions)
Examples –
If it rains, I may not go to office today.
If you have finished your home work, you may go out to play.
> If the sentence is related to suggestions, ‘should/must’ will be used instead of ‘will’.
Examples –
If you don’t know her, you must not go out with her.
If you want to score good marks, you should study daily.
