Conditional Sentences and Examples in Indonesian

Words and sentences are two elements that will not be missed when we discuss any grammar, especially Indonesian grammar which has a variety of types and methods. If the word is the smallest part from language that has incomplete meaning. Then, sentence is the smallest unit of language that has complete meaning. In addition, there are also phrases, namely a collection of word. These three things make up a language.

Definition of Conditional Sentence

A conditional sentence is a sentence that contains a conditional expression. This sentence states about things that have not happened and will be done in the future. The conditional sentence also states about something that is impossible to happen/do because it is something that is impossible.

The conditional sentence is included in the type of multilevel compound sentence because it uses a conjunction or conjunction. As well as combining two single sentences where one and the other have a different position. One clause serves as the main clause and the other as a subordinate clause, where one clause states a requirement. Because it states a condition, the conditional sentence is also called a conditional sentence.

Conditional Sentence Function

Based on the understanding that has been explained above, the conditional sentence has 2 functions, namely:

1. expresses an expression about something that has not happened/fulfilled and will be done in the future
2. express an expression about something that is impossible or cannot be done because it is an impossible thing.

If the conditional sentence with function point no.2 is only a wishful/empty statement. So, the function point no.1 states about a requirement or condition that must occur / be fulfilled so that something that is the goal can be done.
