Zero & First Conditional

Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:

  • Membentuk Zero Conditional (if + present, present) untuk fakta umum.
  • Membentuk First Conditional (if + present, will) untuk kemungkinan nyata di masa depan.
  • Memilih antara Zero dan First Conditional sesuai situasi kerja.

Bentuk & Aturan

Kalimat conditional punya dua bagian: klausa if (syarat) dan klausa utama (hasil). Urutannya bisa dibalik. Jika klausa if ada di depan, beri koma; jika di belakang, tanpa koma.

Zero Conditional dipakai untuk fakta umum yang selalu benar: hasilnya pasti. Kedua bagian memakai present simple.

StrukturContoh
Polaif + present simple, present simpleIf you heat water to 100°C, it boils.
(+)if + S + V(s/es), S + V(s/es)If you press this button, the system restarts.
(−)if + S + don't/doesn't + V, ...If the file doesn't open, the report fails to load.
(?)What happens if + S + V?What happens if a payment is late?

First Conditional dipakai untuk kemungkinan nyata di masa depan: sesuatu yang mungkin terjadi. Klausa if memakai present simple, klausa utama memakai will + kata kerja dasar.

StrukturContoh
Polaif + present simple, will + base verbIf we finish early, we will leave at five.
(+)if + S + V(s/es), S + will + VIf the client agrees, we will start Monday.
(−)..., S + won't + VIf you don't reply, they won't wait.
(?)What will + S + V if ...?What will you do if the system crashes?

⚠️ Setelah if, jangan pakai will. Tulis If it rains..., bukan If it will rain....

Kapan Dipakai

  • Zero Conditional: fakta/aturan yang selalu benar (hukum alam, prosedur, kebijakan):

    If you don't save the file, you lose your changes.

  • Zero Conditional: instruksi & aturan kerja (sering dengan when):

    If a customer complains, we apologise first.

  • First Conditional: rencana & prediksi nyata untuk situasi tertentu di masa depan:

    If the budget is approved, we will hire two new staff.

  • First Conditional dengan unless (= if not):

    We won't launch the app unless it passes all tests.

Examples (English)

If you mix blue and yellow, you get green. If the meeting runs late, I will email you the notes. If the client doesn't sign today, we will lose the deal. Unless we act now, prices will rise next quarter.

Dialogue

Planning a product launch

Maya

If the testing finishes on time, will we launch next week?

Tom

Yes. But if we find any major bugs, we'll delay it.

Maya

And the marketing emails? When you press 'send', they go out automatically, right?

Tom

Exactly. If you click that button, the system sends all of them at once. So we won't click it unless the client approves the final copy.

Kesalahan Umum

  • ❌ "If it will rain, we cancel." → ✅ "If it rains, we will cancel." (setelah if pakai present, will di klausa utama)
  • ❌ "If you heated water, it boils." → ✅ "If you heat water, it boils." (Zero Conditional: keduanya present)
  • ❌ "If the client agrees, we start the project." → ✅ "If the client agrees, we will start the project." (rencana masa depan butuh will)
  • ❌ "We won't ship it unless the client doesn't approve." → ✅ "We won't ship it unless the client approves." (unless sudah bermakna negatif)
