Revision: if-sentences

LANGUAGE WORK

Study these uses of //-sentences.

Action and effect

We can use an if-sentence to link an action and its effect. For example:

1. If you click on that [action], that'll just compact your C drive .effect].

2. If you click on that [action], that opens it up and shows you all your folders [effect].

The action is in the Present simple and the effect is in the Present simple or described using will, can, or may depending how certain it is to follow.

Polite instructions

We use the action part of /Y-sentences, especially in spoken English, to give instructions in a polite way.The effect part is assumed.

3. If you bring your cursor down to the very bottom [you'll find the Start button].

4. If you just hit Enter [that will activate the program].
