conditional sentences

TYPE 1
if + Simple Present, will-Future
Example: If I find her address, I will send her an invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example: I will send her an invitation if I find her address.

Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Simple Present und will-Future on how to form negative sentences.
Example: If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.

USE :
Conditional Sentences Type I refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don't know for sure whether the condition actually will be fulfilled or not, but the conditions seems rather realistic – so we think it is likely to happen.
*Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
I want to send an invitation to a friend. I just have to find her address. I am quite sure, however, that I will find it.
*Example: If John has the money, he will buy a Ferrari.
I know John very well and I know that he earns a lot of money and that he loves Ferraris. So I think it is very likely that sooner or later he will have the money to buy a Ferrari.

TYPE 2
if + Simple Past, main clause with Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)
Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example: I would send her an invitation if I found her address.

Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Simple Past und Conditional I on how to form negative sentences.
Example: If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

Were instead of Was
In IF Clauses Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it –.
Example: If I were you, I would not do this.

USE :
Conditional Sentences Type II refer to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation were different. I don't really expect the situation to change, however. I just imagine „what would happen if …“
*Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.
Fact: I would like to send an invitation to a friend. I have looked everywhere for her address, but I cannot find it. So now I think it is rather unlikely that I will eventually find her address.

*Example: If John had the money, he would buy a Ferrari.
Fact: I know John very well and I know that he doesn't have much money, but he loves Ferraris. He would like to own a Ferrari (in his dreams). But I think it is very unlikely that he will have the money to buy one in the near future.

TYPE 3
if + Past Perfect, main clause with Conditional II
Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example: I would have sent her an invitation if I had found her address.

Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Past Perfect and Conditional II on how to form negative sentences.
Example: If I hadn’t studied, I wouldn’t have passed my exams.

USE :
Conditional Sentences Type III refer to situations in the past. An action could have happened in the past if a certain condition had been fulfilled. Things were different then, however. We just imagine, what would have happened if the situation had been fulfilled.
*Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
Fact: Sometime in the past, I wanted to send an invitation to a friend. I didn't find her address, however. So in the end I didn't send her an invitation.

*Example: If John had had the money, he would have bought a Ferrari.
Fact: I knew John very well and I know that he never had much money, but he loved Ferraris. He would have loved to own a Ferrari, but he never had the money to buy one.

MASALAH EKONOMI PEMBANGUNAN

MASALAH PENDIDIKAN DAN PERANANNYA DALAM MENCIPTAKAN PEMBANGUNAN

"BIAYA SEKOLAH MAHAL"
Begitulah sekelumit kalimat pendek yang sering diucapkan ibu-ibu saat tahun ajaran baru tiba. Dan di antara mereka mungkin salah satunya adalah Anda.

Memang jika diamati, dari tahun ke tahun biaya sekolah selalu naik dan tidak pernah turun. Kenaikan biaya sekolah di beberapa tempat bahkan melebihi angka inflasi. Inilah yang terkadang membuat masyarakat sering panik dan mengeluh. Beban hidup menjadi semakin berat saja rasanya. Belum lagi kenaikan biaya-biaya hidup lainnya.

ada beberapa faktor penyebab biaya sekolah mahal, diantaranya :
1. Gaji guru dan pegawai
2. Biaya gedung
3. Instrumen KBM
4. Seragam sekolah
5. Buku pelajaran
6. Daftar ulang
7. Program sekolah

Menurut saya, faktor-faktor penyebab biaya sekolah mahal seperti yang sudah disebutkan diatas, bisa di minimalisirkan dengan adanya perhatian terhadap pembangunan ekonomi.
mungkin, bisa saja dengan menerapkan sistem BOS(Biaya Operasional Sekolah) di sekolah-sekolah swasta atau sekolah-sekolah yang bonafit.
atau memberikan beasiswa penuh terhadap murid-murid yang mempunyai prestasi di sekolahnya.
atau dengan cara apapun pemerintah bisa melakukan kebijakan-kebijakannya untuk mengatasi atau menangani masalah "biaya sekolah mahal" ini.
jadi sebisa mungkin, anak-anak yang berada di negara Indonesia ini, bisa merasakan sekolah dan menuntut ilmu sehingga tidak adanya lagi anak-anak yang putus sekolah hanya karena biaya sekolah yang mahal.

Sekali lagi saya mengingatkan bahwa biaya pendidikan akan selalu naik setiap tahun. Ada baiknya anda menyiapkannya jauh-jauh hari atau paling tidak sudah merencanakannya dengan matang. Lebih baik sedia payung sebelum hujan. Karena hujan itu sudah pasti, maka mulai sekarang Anda harus segera menyiapkan payungnya. Bukan begitu?
