If Clause
IF CLAUSE TYPE 2
My first official blog after coming back to Dwiwarna for offline school!!
Currently doing this blog in Geography class (I'm on free time don't worry sir), wanted to pass time by writing but just realized that my notes are in my book and not typed neatly in my laptop anymore. One of the few adjustments I have to make when coming back to Dwiwarna. So I think I'm just going to tell you guys about the day we first learned about If Clause.
It was a fine Thursday, 30th September 7:30 to be exact. CP was our first period of the day, so after tadarus i got up and went to 12 IPA 3. I entered the class and the first thing that caught my eye was that tall tripod in front of the board. So turns out CP is one of the few classes that has to do double-track, which is essentially teaching offline and online both at the same time (semangat ya sir). I went to my seat and unpacked a few things before going up front to see what the camera tripod looks like, it made me realize the extra effort teachers have to do in this complicated situation (so props to all teachers out there!). After a few technical errors, Mr. Ach opened the class and said a few greetings, next he went straight to the PowerPoint.
Turns out we will be learning about the If Clause type 2 for the following week. The if clause itself 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. Meanwhile If clause type 2 refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. I will get into the details later once I arrive at aspi but if clause or conditional sentences essentially explains about specific conditions, it can be hypothetical or impossible or possible.
The whole 3 periods were used up by Mr. Ach explaining the PowerPoint and a few questions asked by confusing students (me included).
The next Friday, we had CP again and this time Mr. Ach went straight to assigning stuff. First we did the quizziz which had about 10 questions, it was all if clause-related obviously. And then Mr. Ach had to do his homeroom teacher duties, so he assigned us a task. It was making a dialogue! a group consisting of 2 people have to make a conversation with at least 1 if clause and inversed if clause sentences. I got paired up with Eca and we went straight to work. Then Mr. Ach came back and informed us that we will be recording said conversation on video next Thursday.
IF CLAUSE TYPE 2 NOTES
- imaginative at the present time
- reversed conditions
- harus pake "were" karena it shows somwthing impossible, kalo "was" berarti it already happened
formula : if + subject + v2 / were + subject + would/could/had to + verb
kalau inversed, "if" ganti ke "should" terus ada "to be" (tapi ga semua)
ex : If Ammar told me the truth, I wouldn't be this mad
becomes
Should Ammar tell me the truth, I wouldn't be this mad
- kalo meaning if clause jangan pake past tense, always present time, didnt ganti ke doesnt
he didnt work out more so he's not fit now SALAH
he isnt fit now bcs hes too lazy to workout BENER
- kalo sentence if clause nya, baru pake past tense, was ganti ke were
- type 2 gaada yang pake had sama sekali
- type 2 gapake "have" juga, "have" punya type 3
jadi misal would have buy / would have bought SALAH
langsung aja would buy
- kl sentence nya ada "could be" "could go" itu if clause type 2
eca = hi nasywaa
nasywaa = hii eca, whats up?
eca = can i ask you something?
nasywaa = shoot
eca = so this guy asked me for my number yesteday, he said he is a friend of yours
nasywaa = what omg whats his name?
eca = nabil
nasywaa = eca...if i were you id totally give him my number
eca = what do you mean?
nasywaa = i met nabil a couple years back when we went to the same middle school, he is 100% my type. so what i mean by that is you should definetely give him your number, but thats just my advice because i think hes nice, its all up to you
eca = alright nasywaa thank youu for that
nasywaa = yeaa eca no problem
eca = oh i have another thing i wanted to ask you, are you still mad at jasmine? i met her on my way here and she told me to ask you that
nasywaa = should she be on time and not cancel plans the hour before, i wouldnt be this mad
eca = alright, im gonna tell her you said that ya
nasywaa = okay eca
eca = byee
nasywaa = byee
IF CLAUSE TYPE 3
Anyway...here we are again back with another If Clause, this time its the third type. The last 2 meetings of cross program have been occupied by learning about this subject, or is it 1? I don't know for sure to be honest. It is a fine Wednesday and I'm on my bed thinking about English Blog after napping for like 2 hours, don't know why I couldn't stop thinking about it even though Mr. Ach hasn't even assigned us to do the blog butt ya know the earlier the better.
Last Thursday was like usual, although there was an extra addition to the class which is Bu Hajah Retno supervising the class, didn't make that big of a difference though. Mr. Ach introduced us to the topic by making us watch a couple of If clause type 3 conversation videos done by the past seniors, their lack of emotions while carrying out the conversation made the video 10x funnier. After that Mr. Ach went straight to the powerpoint and explained some things to both the PTM class and the PJJ class which was a bit confusing at first since there were a couple technical difficulties (i.e. the screen being shared couldn't be seen by respective classes and the PJJ people not being able to hear the PTM people while taking turns reading the dialogue). Personally for me the lesson didn't seem too hard as we were already introduced by the If Clause type 2 last time, so I had background knowledge already. Here is a couple of notes that I made in class ;
- imaginative in the past time / regret
- has to be in the past form (both the sentence and the meaning)
- sentence yang ada "if" selalu pake "had"
- sentence yang gaada pake "if", pake modal verb (should, could, would) terus pake "have" and or "been"
formula : If + S1 + had + V3 / been + S2 + would + have + V3 / been
- V3 selalu pake "had" awalnya
- kalo inversed, pake "had" instead of "should"
- sentence yg ada "if", selalu pake "had"
sentence yang gaada"if", pake modal verb (should, could, would) terus pake "have" / "been"
- "could have been" "could have gone" itu if clause type 3
here is a dialogue that my friends and I made for the If Clause type 3!!
Nasywaa = Sasha, come here now!!
Sasha = What's wrong?
Nasywaa = Was the milk you gave me yesterday, stale?
Sasha = I don't think so...but I don't know for sure
Nasywaa = Well if I hadn't drunk your musty milk I wouldn't have thrown up this morning!!
Sasha = Hah I don't understand, what do you mean by that?
Nasywaa = Remember that milk you gave me yesterday? I drank it and it turned out to be stale, so I was throwing up all morning!!
Sasha = So what do you want me to do? say sorry?
Nasywaa = Oh my god you're so annoying Sasha
Jasmine = Guys guys come on calm down, what are you guys arguing about?
Sasha = Had Nasywaa brought her own beverage I wouldn't have given her my milk!!
Jasmine = Huh I don't get it
Sasha = Nasywaa didn't bring her own milk yesterday so I gave her mine, but it turned out to be stale so now she's mad at me for giving her my milk
Jasmine = You both are too sensitive! It's not a big deal!!
Nasywaa = Oh my god you both are the same, I'm just going to leave now
*slams the door*
