简单句(simple sentences)、复合句(compound sentences)和复杂句(complex
sentences),各有其优点和缺点。今次则仔细谈谈一复杂句句式——条件句 (conditional
sentences),这句式于中学必然会教,一共四类, Type 1至Type 4 (有些课本用Type 0至Type
3),商务通讯有不少情境会用到条件句,例如: Type 1: If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me.
Type 2: If it rains tomorrow, we will cancel the show.
Type 3: If I were you, I would seek the boss’s consent first.
Type 4: If there had not been a heavy storm, the parcel would have been delivered on schedule.
四类条件句的条件子句(if clause)和结果子句(result
clause)的时态各异,很多人都认为非常难记。其实,只要了解这四类条件句的意义和其时态转换的关系,就会非常易学易记,保证看完这篇立刻记得!
先看总览,后再解释:

可能性愈来愈低
首先,四类条件句的意义分别在于可能性的高低,由Type 1至Type 4,可能性愈来愈低。
Type 1:在某条件下,必然会发生某结果。
Type 2: If it rains tomorrow, we will cancel the show.
Type 3: If I were you, I would seek the boss’s consent first.
Type 4: If there had not been a heavy storm, the parcel would have been delivered on schedule.

可能性愈来愈低
Type 1:在某条件下,必然会发生某结果。
