If-sentences/Typ 1

Aus ZUM-Unterrichten

Der If-Satz Typ I wird verwendet, wenn unter einer bestimmten Bedingung, die möglich und sehr wahrscheinlich ist, etwas passieren wird.

Beispiele:

If it rains, I will stay at home.

If it doesn't rain, I won't stay at home. I will go jogging.


if-clause main-clause
Typ I simple present will +inf

Die Verwendung von simple present im Bedingungssatz scheint einfach, bietet wie in den oberen Beispielen jedoch die Tücke der 3. Person Singular mit dem angehängten -s.

Achtung

He, She, it …

… -s must fit!
