Bildung des Bedingungs- und Hauptsatzes


Wir bilden den If-Clause Typ 2 mit einem Bedingungssatz und einem Hauptsatz:
Die Reihenfolge der Sätze spielt keine Rolle: Die Bedeutung ist die gleiche.

Wenn wir den Bedingungssatz vor den Hauptsatz setzen, verwenden wir ein Komma:

Bedingungssatz Hauptsatz
„If" + Simple Past + Komma „would“ + Infinitiv (ohne „to")
If I took the bus, I would arrive at 7pm.
If I owned that house, I would paint it a different colour.
If I lived in Italy, I would learn to cook Italian food.
If you were me, would you take the train or the bus?
