Conditional sentences are a fascinating part of any language, allowing us to express possibilities, probabilities, and hypothetical situations. In the Sindhi language, mastering conditional sentences is crucial as it enriches the way we communicate our thoughts and intentions. Whether you want to discuss what might happen under certain circumstances or what could have been, understanding conditionals will empower you to convey your ideas more effectively.
 
In this lesson, we will explore the structure and use of conditional sentences in Sindhi. We will break down the topic into manageable sections, ensuring that you grasp the essential concepts while providing ample examples and practice exercises. The lesson is structured as follows:

== Introduction ==
=== Introduction to Conditional Sentences ===
 
Conditional sentences, often referred to as "if clauses," are used to express "if-then" scenarios. They consist of two parts:
 
1. '''The condition''' - the "if" part.
 
2. '''The result''' - the "then" part.
 
In Sindhi, conditional sentences can express:
 
* '''Real possibilities''' (factual situations).
 
* '''Unreal possibilities''' (hypothetical situations).
 
* '''Past conditions''' (situations that did not happen).
 
=== Types of Conditional Sentences ===


In this lesson, we will explore the advanced grammar concept of conditional sentences in Sindhi. Conditional sentences are used to express possibilities, probabilities, and hypothetical situations. Mastering conditional sentences will allow you to convey complex ideas and engage in more nuanced conversations in Sindhi. Throughout this lesson, we will discuss the various types of conditional sentences, provide numerous examples, and offer practice exercises to reinforce your understanding. So let's dive in and unlock the power of conditional sentences in Sindhi!
There are different types of conditional sentences in Sindhi, depending on the likelihood of the condition being fulfilled.


== Formation of Conditional Sentences ==
==== Real Conditional Sentences ====


In Sindhi, conditional sentences are formed by combining two clauses: the "if" clause (also known as the protasis) and the main clause (also known as the apodosis). The "if" clause sets up the condition, and the main clause expresses the result or consequence.
These sentences indicate situations that are known to be true or likely to happen.


There are three main types of conditional sentences in Sindhi: the zero conditional, the first conditional, and the second conditional. Each type is used to convey different levels of possibility, probability, or hypothetical situations. Let's explore each type in detail.
'''Structure:'''


=== Zero Conditional ===
* If + Present Tense, + Future Tense (will + verb).


The zero conditional is used to express general truths, scientific facts, or habitual actions. It implies that the condition is always true or that the result always happens whenever the condition is met. In Sindhi, the zero conditional is formed using the present tense in both the "if" clause and the main clause.
Example:


Examples:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن هن سڪو منجهه || Jeekhan hina sku manjhe || If it rains, the ground gets wet.
 
| جيڪڏهن توھان پڙھندا آھيو، ته توھان سکندا آھيو || jeḳhṛa tōhān paṛhandā āhiyō, ta tōhān sikhhandā āhiyō || If you study, you will learn.
 
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن سڪيان ڏنيون ڪئي وڃي || Jeekhan skeyan dinyun kaei wachi || If you heat ice, it melts.
 
| جيڪڏهن اھو بارش ڪندو، ته مَنجو نھ نڪرندو || jeḳhṛa uho bāriṣ kandō, ta mañjo nh nakhrandō || If it rains, I will not go out.
 
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن ۾ڪلي درخت ۾ پهنجيندڙ آهن || Jeekhan mekli darakht mein pahinjindar ahn || If there are flowers on the tree, there are bees.
 
| جيڪڏهن توھان وقت تي آڻندا، ته اسان کي خوشي ٿيندي || jeḳhṛa tōhān waqt tī āṇhandā, ta asān kē khuśī thīndī || If you come on time, we will be happy.
 
|}
|}


In these examples, the present tense verbs "gets," "melts," and "are" are used in both the "if" clause and the main clause to indicate that the conditions and results are always true.
==== Unreal Conditional Sentences ====
 
These sentences express hypothetical or unlikely conditions.
 
'''Structure:'''


=== First Conditional ===
* If + Past Tense, + Would + Base Form of the Verb.


The first conditional is used to express real or likely situations in the future. It implies that the condition is possible and that the result is likely to happen. In Sindhi, the first conditional is formed using the present tense in the "if" clause and the future tense in the main clause.
Example:


Examples:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن توهان سڪيان ڏنيون سگهندا || Jeekhan tuhan skeyan dinyun saghanda || If you study, you will succeed.
 
| جيڪڏهن مان امير هجان، ته مان سڄي دنيا گھمندو || jeḳhṛa mān amīr hajan, ta mān saji dunyā ghamindō || If I were rich, I would travel the whole world.
 
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن اڄ پڇ پهنڌان هجرت ڪندا || Jeekhan aaj puch pahindan hijrat kanda || If she leaves today, she will arrive tomorrow.
 
| جيڪڏهن توھان ان مان مدد ڪندا، ته اسان کي مدد ملندي || jeḳhṛa tōhān an mān madad kandā, ta asān kē madad milandī || If you helped me, I would get assistance.
 
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن توهان ڪتاب وڌيڪ تيار ڪندا || Jeekhan tuhan kitab wadhik tiyar kanda || If you finish the book, you will be ready.
 
| جيڪڏهن مان اتي هجان، ته مان توھان سان گڏ ٿيندو || jeḳhṛa mān atē hajan, ta mān tōhān sāng gad thīndō || If I were there, I would be with you.
 
|}
|}


In these examples, the present tense verbs "study," "leave," and "finish" are used in the "if" clause, while the future tense verbs "will succeed," "will arrive," and "will be ready" are used in the main clause to indicate the possibility and likely outcome.
==== Past Conditional Sentences ====
 
These sentences refer to situations that did not happen in the past.
 
'''Structure:'''


=== Second Conditional ===
* If + Past Perfect, + Would Have + Past Participle.


The second conditional is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations in the present or future. It implies that the condition is unlikely to happen or is impossible, and the result is imaginary or hypothetical. In Sindhi, the second conditional is formed using the past tense in the "if" clause and the conditional mood in the main clause.
Example:


Examples:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن توهان سڪيان ڏنيون سگهندا || Jeekhan tuhan skeyan dinyun saghanda || If you studied, you would succeed.
 
| جيڪڏهن مان سکڻ کان اڳ وقت تي آھيان، ته مَنجو رھڻو پوندو || jeḳhṛa mān sikhṇ kān aṅg waqt tī āhiyān, ta mañjo rahanō paūndō || If I had come on time to learn, I would have stayed.
 
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن اڄ پڇ پهنڌان هجرت ڪندي || Jeekhan aaj puch pahindan hijrat kendi || If she left today, she would arrive tomorrow.
 
| جيڪڏهن توھان ان وقت آڻندا، ته اسان جو منصوبو مڪمل ٿي ويندو || jeḳhṛa tōhān an waqt āṇhandā, ta asān jo mansūbō mukammal thī vīndō || If you had come at that time, our plan would have been completed.
 
|-
|-
| جيڪڏهن توهان ڪتاب وڌيڪ تيار ڪندي || Jeekhan tuhan kitab wadhik tiyar kendi || If you finished the book, you would be ready.
 
| جيڪڏهن مان پئسا بچائي سگھيو هجان، ته مان نوان ڪتاب خريد ڪري سگھيو هجان || jeḳhṛa mān paisā bachā'ī saghiyō hajan, ta mān nawān kitāb kharīd kari saghiyō hajan || If I had saved money, I could have bought new books.
 
|}
|}


In these examples, the past tense verbs "studied," "left," and "finished" are used in the "if" clause, while the conditional mood verbs "would succeed," "would arrive," and "would be ready" are used in the main clause to indicate the hypothetical or unreal nature of the situation.
