Grammar: Subjunctive Mood I.

The first type of sentences is probable. The verb in the if — clause is in the present tense; the verb in the main clause is in the future simple. I doesn’t matter which comes first: If he runs he’ll get there in time.

This type of sentence implies that the action in the if-clause is quite probable.

Possible variations of the basic form.

• Variations of the main clause. Instead of if + present + may/might (possibility): If the fog gets thicker the plane may/might be diverted.
• If + present + may (permission) or can (permission or ability): If your documents are in order you may/can leave at once.
• If+ present +must, shouldor any expressions of command, request or advice: If you want to lose weight you must/ should eat less bread.
• If+ present + another present tense, if + two present tenses is used to express automatic or habitual results: If you heat ice turns to water
• If+ present continuous, to indicate a present action or a future arrangement: If you are waiting for a bus (present action) you’d better join the queue.
• If+ present perfect: If you have finished dinner I’ll ask the waiter for the bill.
