   If Clause merupakan kalimat pengandaian. Conditional Sentence (if clause) adalah kalimat majemuk yang terdiri dari Subordinate Clause (depent clause) yang diawali dengan subordinate conjunction if beru[a condition (syarat) dan main clause (independent clause) berupa result/consequence (hasil).

If Clause (conditional sentence) dibagi menjadi 3 Tipe, Yaitu:

Tipe 1

   Pengandaian yang situasinya benar-benar terjadi di masa sekarang, Ketika kita akan membuat pengandaian tentang suatu hal yang bena-benar terjadi di masa sekarang, kita dapat menggunakan pola kalimat pertama untuk pengandaian tersebut. Formulanya adalah:

If + Subject + Verb 1 + Object, Subject + will/can + Verb 1 + Object

Contoh di dalam kalimat:

            ·         If I have a lot of money, I’ll buy a car.

(Jika aku punya banyak uang, saya akan membeli sebuah mobil)

            ·         If he runs quickly, he will get there soon.

(Jika dia berlari dengan cepat, maka dia akan sampai disana segera)

            ·         I will visit them if I have enough time.

(Saya akan mengunjungi mereka jika saya punya waktu)

Tipe 2

   Pengandaian yang situasinya berlawanan dengan kenyataan di masa sekarang, Jika pengandaian yang ditulis adalah sesuatu yang bertentangan di masa yang sekarang, gunakanlah kalimat pengandaian tipe yang kedua ini. Formulanya adalah:

If + Subject + Verb 2 + Object, Subject + would/could +Verb 1 + Object

Contoh di dalam kalimat:

           ·         He would come if you invited him.

(Dia akan datang jika kamu mengundangnya)

           ·         What would you do if She came here?

(Apa yang akan kamu lakukan jika dia datang kemari?)

           ·         She would help you if you told her the truth.

(Dia akan menolongmu jika kamu menceritakan kebenarannya)

Tipe 3

   Pengandaian yang situasinya berlawanan dengan kenyataan di masa lampau, Jika kalimat pengandaian yang akan kita buat adalah sesuatu yang bertentangan di masa lampau, gunakan lah tipe yang terakhir ini. Formulanya adalah:

Subject + Had + Verb 3 + Object, Subject + would have + Verb 3 + Object

Contoh di dalam kalimat:

           ·         If we had known you were there last year, we would have written you a letter.

(Kalau kami tahu kamu ada disana tahun lalu, kami akan menyuratimu)

           ·         He could have come here if you had invited him yesterday.

ONEREPUBLIC – IF I LOSE MY SELF

[Verse 1]
I stared up at the sun
Thought of all of the people, places and things I’ve loved
I stared up just to see
With all of the faces, you were the one next to me

[Pre Chorus]
You can feel the light start to tremble
Washing what you know out to sea
You can see your life out of the window tonight

[Chorus]
If I lose myself tonight
It’ll be by your side
I lose myself tonight...
(oh) yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lose myself tonight
It’ll be you and I
Lose myself tonight...

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I woke up with the sun
Thought of all the people, places and things I’ve loved
I woke up just to see
With all of the faces, you were the one next to me

[Pre Chorus]
You can feel the light start to tremble
Washing what you know out to sea
You can see your life out of the window tonight

[Chorus]
If I lose myself tonight
It’ll be by your side
I lose myself tonight...
(oh) yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lose myself tonight
It’ll be you and I
Lose myself tonight...

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Take us down and we keep trying
Forty thousand feet, keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
Forty thousand feet, keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
Forty thousand feet, keep flying
Take us down and we keep trying
Forty thousand feet, keep flying
(Lose myself)
If I lose myself tonight..
