इंग्रजी शिका : Ifs and Universal Truths

इंग्रजी शिका : Ifs and Universal Truths
Updated on

Dear friends, 
we learnt to use Ifs in the sentences where we tell universal truths.
(Ex. If we heat ice, it melts.)
We also learnt to use Ifs in the sentences where we predict or guess the results.
(Ex. If he hits sixer on this ball, we will the match.)

Today we are going to study few more constructions of Ifs.
Study the following sentences. 
If I won in KBC, I would buy a big bungalow. 
If I were a millionaire, I would help the poor.
If I were you, I would accept the challenge of the boss. 

In the first type of sentence, we talk about the things that may not happen. We can use it to tell imaginary situation. 
In the second type of sentence, we talk about something which is quite impossible. Something that can not happen. The second sentence is more unlikely than the first one.
In the third type of sentence, the situation is completely impossible. We simply tell what would happen in the other case (Which is simply impossible.)
