Conditionals Mixed Type
All conditional statements express what will happen as a result of that condition when a condition has happened. While constructing conditional sentences, we use two different sentences, the first of these sentences is the sentence that starts with if and we call the if clause, the other of these sentences is the main sentence. Since each of these two sentences has a unique verb, it is of great importance to know which tense to use in these sentences, to determine the meaning of the sentence, and to use the sentence appropriately.
There are cases where unreal conditional clauses are used in the same sentence, where the tense in the If clause and the tense in the main clause are not the same. These states are generally called Conditionals Mixed Type.
How to Use Conditional Mixed Type 1?
In this type, which is used to connect the past and the present and connects Type 3 and Type 2, the Past Perfect Tense is used in the if-clause, while the Modal Present Tense is used in the main clause. In this sentence, there is a past condition and a possible outcome of this condition that cannot be fulfilled in the present tense, so we can call this type the “Today to Past Type”.
