If-sentences/Kontrastierung
Die If-Sätze Typ I und Typ II lassen sich nicht eindeutig unterscheiden, da man einerseits fest mit einem (doch eher unwahrscheinlichen) Lottogewinn rechnet, andererseits z.B. Regen und schlechtes Wetter nicht 100% voraus berechnen kann.
Beispiele:
If it rains, I will stay at home.
If I were you, I wouldn't go out today.
Nachdem Du dich auf einen Typ festgelegt hast, muss das Schema konsequent durchgehalten werden.
| if-clause | main-clause | |
|---|---|---|
| Typ I | simple present | will +inf |
| Typ II | simple past | would + inf |
