Conditional Clause Example For School Homework

Sure! Let’s break it down in a simple way. In English, conditional sentences are sentences that talk about something that might happen or could have happened if something else happens or happened. Let’s look at each one:

1. If it rains tomorrow, we ___ (stay) home.
   • This is about the future, something that might happen. We call it the first conditional because it’s talking about a possible situation. When you use this type, you say "If + present tense" and "will" for what could happen.
   • Answer: "If it rains tomorrow, we will stay home."
2. She would be happier if she ___ (have) more free time.
   • This sentence is imagining something that’s not real right now. It’s a second conditional sentence. We use this type when we’re thinking about what would happen if something were different in the present. So you use "If + past tense" and "would" for what could happen.
   • Answer: "She would be happier if she had more free time."
3. If they had studied harder, they ___ (pass) the test.
   • This one is talking about something that could have happened in the past, but didn’t. It’s a third conditional sentence. We use this when we’re imagining a different past. So here, you use "If + past perfect" (had done something) and "would have" for what might have happened.
   • Answer: "If they had studied harder, they would have passed the test."

These sentences are like imagining what could happen or could have happened based on a different situation. Hope that helps make it clear!
