條件狀語從句最常用的連詞是if,由if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句表示在某種條件下某事很可能發(fā)生。如:

1) If you ask him,he will help you.如果你請他幫忙,他會(huì)幫你的。
2) If you fail in the exam,you will let him down.如果你考試不及格,你會(huì)讓他失望的

if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句既可以將從句放前面也可以將從句放后面:

如果天下雨,我們就不玩了,If it rains,we will stop playing,轉(zhuǎn)為We will stop playing if it rains.

另外,if從句還表示不可實(shí)現(xiàn)的條件或根本不可能存在的條件,也就是一種虛擬的條件或假設(shè),從句多用一般過去時(shí)或過去完成時(shí)。

如:If I were you,I would invite him to the party.如果我是你,我會(huì)邀請他參加聚會(huì)。
I would have arrived much earlier if I had not been caught in the traffic.如果沒有堵車,我會(huì)到的早一點(diǎn)兒。

那么,除了if之外,是否還有其他連詞也可以引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句呢?回答是肯定的,不僅有,還有很多。這些詞由于出現(xiàn)的頻率較小,且用法較復(fù)雜一些,所以不如if為大家所熟知罷了。下面就這些詞的用法以例句的形式進(jìn)行一下簡單總結(jié)。

1、unless conj.除非,若不,除非在……的時(shí)候

Unless it rains,the game will be played.除非下雨,比賽將照常進(jìn)行。

2、on condition(that)...在……條件下,如果 on condition (that)...引導(dǎo)的條件從句是主句事件發(fā)生的前提條件或唯一條件。
I can tell you the truth on condition that you promise to keep a secret.我可以告訴你真相,條件是你答應(yīng)保密。
You can go swimming on condition (that) you don't go too far from the river bank.你只有在不遠(yuǎn)離河岸的條件下才可以下水游泳。

3、supposing conj.如果,假如 supposing引導(dǎo)的條件從句表示一種假設(shè)條件。
