Imaginary Conditionals : Present Or Unspecified Time

I.     INTRODUCTION
Imaginary conditions express ideas that the speaker or writer thinks are unlikely, untrue, or contrary to fact. They may be wishes or dreams, or they may express advice to others.
Conditional Sentence is a form of complex sentence formed from a subordinate clause that begins with the subordinate conjunction if in the form of conditions and playing clause which is also a result or consequence.
The sentence conditional (conditional sentence) is also a sentence to be able to assume that something that has not happened, does not occur, or has happened.
This sentence also consists of two parts, namely the free clause (independent clause) which will become the parent sentence and the clause if (clause) which also has the statement of presuppositions.
Free clause is one clause that stands alone because it has a complete meaning. Whereas the if clause is one form of clause that cannot stand alone because it has an incomplete clause beginning with if.
Each conditional sentence also consists of two clauses, namely Main Clause (independent clause) and if Clause (clause or dependent clause).
The composition or location of the Main Clause can be in front and also behind. The difference in the location of the main clause does not affect the meaning at all.
Main Clause in a presupposition sentence will always have capital, while If Clause is not.
The capital most often used is: "will" or "shall" an Other capital is "can", "may", "must", "have to" and "ought to".
This capital can be in the form of present or past tense according to the type of sentence it presupposes.
