Conditional Sentences		ಷರತ್ತುಬದ್ಧ ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳು
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.

ಷರತ್ತುಬದ್ಧ ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು Conditional Clauses (ಉಪವಾಕ್ಯ) ಅಥವಾ If Clauses ಎಂದು ಕೂಡ ಕರೆಯಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಒಂದು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಷರತ್ತನ್ನು ( ಇಫ್ ಜೊತೆಗಿನ ಷರತ್ತು ) ಪೂರೈಸಿದರೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಮುಖ್ಯ ವಾಕ್ಯದ  ( ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ) ಕ್ರಿಯೆಯು ನಡೆಯುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಲು ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಬಳಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಷರತ್ತುಬದ್ಧ ವಾಕ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂರು ವಿಧಗಳಿವೆ.

Type 1 (Real/possible Condition)
→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.

Form:
if + Simple Present, will + V1

Example:
If I find her address, I will send her an invitation.

Type 2 (Unreal/Imaginary Condition)
→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.

Form:
if + Simple Past, would + V1

Example 1:
If I found her address, I would send her an invitation

Example 2:
If I were a bird, I would fly high

Type 3 (Impossible Condition)
→ It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.

Form: if + Past Perfect, would + have + Past participle

Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
