If Statements (in english language)

• If Statements

• Read and listen. Listen again and repeat.

• If statements are part of conditional sentences. 

  Conditional sentences have two parts. 

  1. A conditional clause (if statement).  This describes a condition or possible situation.  

  2. The consequence or result of the condition or situation. 

  
  

  If it rains, we will get wet. 
  

  -If it rains = conditional clause

  -we will get wet = the result 

• If I eat peanuts, I get sick.	I get a headache if I don't drink coffee.*
  If the weather improves, we will go to the park.	We will need a first aid kit if there is an emergency.

• *Remember! An if statement can go at the beginning or end of a sentence.  

  Use a comma (,) after if statements at the beginning of a sentence.
