With reference to adverbial clauses a question arises that is not always easy to answer, namely: whether they modify some part of the main clause or the main clause as a whole. The answer may prove to be different for different types of adverbial clauses and the question will have to be considered for each type separately.
Conditional sentences deal with factual implications or hypothetical situations. Some of them are likely and possible to happen, others are impossible. The clause that expresses a condition or a hypothesis is called a conditional clause.
The aim of this paper is to examine Conditional Subordinate Clauses in English, pointing out their morphological and structural peculiarities as well as to define their semantics and pragmatics.
Before speaking about adverbial clauses we will describe what clause is. There are five parts of a sentence: the subject, the predicate, the attribute, the object, and the adverbial modifier. Accordingly, there are five types of subordinate clauses: the subject clause, the predicative clause, the attributive clause, the object clause, and several types of adverbial clauses.
A simple sentence usually consists of a single finite clause with a finite verb that is independent. More complex sentences may contain multiple clauses. Main clauses (matrix clauses, independent clauses) are those that could stand as a sentence by themselves. Subordinate clauses (embedded clauses, dependent clauses) are those that would be awkward or nonsensical if used alone. In linguistics, a dependent clause (or a subordinate clause) is a clause that augments an independent clause with additional information, but which cannot stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses either modify the independent clause of a sentence or serve as a component of it. Some grammarians use the term subordinate clause as a synonym for dependent clause. Other grammars use subordinate clause to refer only to adverbial dependent clauses.
If-conditionals in English are typically composed of two parts: a conditional clause and a main clause. The conditional clause or if-clause, also known as a protasis, usually begins with the subordinating conjunction if, while the main clause, sometimes referred to as an apodosis, deals with the situation dependent on the condition represented in the if-clause.
The adverb clause of condition gives the circumstances under which the action in the main clause will take place.
Adverb clauses of condition are introduced by the subordinating conjunctions if, whether, provided that, so long as and unless.
Sometimes the conjunction if is omitted.
