IF CONDITIONAL, NOUN PHRASE, AND RELATIVE PRONOUNS


A. IF CONDITIONAL
If conditional sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that
the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is
fulfilled. In this section you will find information on sentences containing the word 'if', the use of conditional
tenses, and the 'unreal past', that is, when we use a past tense but we are not actually referring to past time.
General Formula of If Conditional Sentence:

In general, the formula modality sentence is as follows:

if + condition, result / consequence


Formula without punctuation or commas:
result / consequnce + if + condition

Examples of conditional sentence:


If I meet him, I will introduce myself.
I will introduce myself if I meet him.

Negative if + condition
Formula:.

If ... not be replaced with unless

Example of negative if conditional:


If the students do not understand, they will raise their hand to ask.
Unless the students understand, they will raise their hand to ask.
There are four types of If Conditional Sentences:

1. The 'zero' conditional, where the tense in both parts of the sentence is the simple present.
Zero conditional sentence modality is used when the result / consequence (result) of the condition
(requirement) is always true. The type 0 is widely used in sentences such presuppositions scientific fact
(scientific truth).

B. NOUN PHRASE
A noun phrase or nominal phrase (abbreviated NP) is a phrase which has a noun (or indefinite pronoun) as
its head word, or which performs the same grammatical function as such a phrase. [1] Noun phrases are very
common cross-linguistically, and they may be the most frequently occurring phrase type.
Noun phrases often function as verb subjects and objects, as predicative expressions, and as the complements
of prepositions or postpositions. Noun phrases can be embedded inside each other; for instance, the noun phrase
some of his constituents contains the shorter noun phrase his constituents.

UNIVERSITAS INTERNASIONAL BATAM

In some modern theories of grammar, noun phrases with determiners are analyzed as having the determiner
rather than the noun as their head; they are then referred to as determiner phrases.

A typical noun phrase consists of a noun (the head of the phrase) together with zero or more modifiers of
various types. The chief types of these modifiers are:
Determiners, such as the, this, my, some
Attributive adjectives, such as large, beautiful, sweeter
Adjective phrases and participial phrases, such as extremely large, hard as nails, made of wood, sitting on the
step
Noun adjuncts, such as college in the noun phrase a college student
Prepositional phrases, such as in the drawing room, of his aunt
Relative clauses, such as which we noticed
Other clauses serving as complements to the noun, such as that God exists in the noun phrase the belief that
God exists
Infinitive phrases, such as to sing well and to beat in the noun phrases a desire to sing well and the man to
beat
Formation Noun phrase:
The phrase can be in the form of noun with wording as follows:
1. a) Idefinite Article + Noun
that the purpose of the article is the word Idefinite (clothing) a and s.
Example: a truck an examination an investment
The series says a truck is a noun phrase, a noun describes truck; truck is the head of (headword) in the phrase, a
word is a word that describes the head.

C. RELATIVE PRONOUNS

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. It is called a "relative" pronoun because it
"relates" to the word that it modifies.

Here is an example:

The person who phoned me last night is my teacher.

In the above example, "who":

relates to "person", which it modifies

introduces the relative clause "who phoned me last night"

10

UNIVERSITAS INTERNASIONAL BATAM

IF CONDITIONAL, NOUN PHRASE, AND RELATIVE PRONOUNS

There are five relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, that*

Who (subject) and whom (object) are generally only for people. Whose is for possession. Which is for
things. In non-defining relative clauses, that is used for things. In defining relative clauses (clauses that are
essential to the sentence and do not simply add extra information) that can be used for things and people**.

Relative pronouns can refer to singular or plural, and there is no difference between male and female.
Look at these examples showing defining and non-defining relative clauses:

**Some people claim that even in defining relative clauses we cannot use "that" for people but must use
"who/whom". There is no good reason for such a claim; there is a long history of "that" for people in defining
relative clauses from Chaucer, Shakespeare and the Authorized Version of The Bible to Fowler's and Churchill.

sentence. Relative pronouns are placed at the beginning of ordinary or subordinate clause dependent clause that
