Conditional sentences in the Future Tense #1 (permalink) Tue Jul 07, 2009 9:30 am   Conditional sentences in the Future Tense
 

Good morning.
I've got some problems with conditional sentences.
If I want to build conditional sentence, which tells us about future activities, how should I do this?
'If you will decide to do this, I will help you'.
Is it correct? :roll:

Thank you. :)

Hi Caterpillar,

The type of conditional you are talking about is called 'Possible Condition'. This is made by using the Present Simple with the 'if' sentence and a Future form for the other sentence. The correct form would therefore be:

If you decide to do this, I will help you.

Hope this helps.

Alan
