if用法
一、if 引导条件状语从句
1、表示在某条件下,某事很可能发生,条件是可能存在的,主句中某种情况发生的概率也是很高的。如:

如果你考试不及格,你会让他失望的。

如果你作业做完了就可以回家了。
2、表示不可实现的条件或根本不可能存在的条件,也就是一种虚拟的条件或假设。从句多用一般过去时或过去完成时,表示对现在或过去的一种假设。如:
If I were you, I would invite him to the party.---->不能用was
如果我是你,我会邀请他参加聚会。
I would have arrived much earlier if I had not been caught in the traffic.
要不是交通堵塞,我本会来得早一些。

条件句,放在前,逗号要放句中间。
条件句表可能,主句多用将来时;
条件句表事实,主句常用现在时。
7、if 有时可省略,然后将主语与所用的限定动词(尤其是were,had,should)倒置。例如:Should it (= if it should) be necessary, I will go.
倘若有必要,我会去的。
Were I (= if I were) in your place, I would do the same.
如果我在你的位置,我也会这样做。
Had I (= if I had) known earlier, I would come.
如果我早一点知道,我就会来。
二、if 引导宾语从句,常用于ask、know、find out、wonder等之后,和 whether 意思相同。例如:
weight的用法搭配Lily asked if/whether she liked it.

三、if 引导让步状语从句,这时 if 当作“即使是”,“虽说”解。例如:

即使说我错了,那么你也不对。

虽然会花费我一下午的时间,我还是要做这事。
四、if 引导时间状语从句,当 if 做“当”或“无论何时”解而不含有条件之义时,if 从句中的时态与主句中的时态相同。例如:
If you mix yellow and blue, you get green.
你将黄与蓝混合,便会得到绿。
