1.si + présent

2.si + imparfait

3.si + plus-que-parfait

Si clauses (if clauses in English) indicate possibilities, which may or may not become reality. They refer to the present,

past, and future. These conditional sentences have two parts: the condition, or si clause, and the main or result clause

which indicates what will happen if the condition of the si clause is met.

The tense of the result clause depends on the tense of the si clause. In other words, the tense of the two clauses follow

a prescribed sequence. si + present (présent) si clauseresult clause si + present (possible condition) present or future or imperative

This first type of si clause is used in cases where the condition may be fulfilled and thus the consequence is seen as

possible. In the following dialogue, you will hear si clauses in the present followed by result clauses in the present, in

the future and in the imperative:

Tammy est en train de lire un petit quizz

sur la personnalité et l'amour dans un magazine.

Tammy is reading a little quiz about

personality and love in a magazine.

Tammy: Si tu veux, tu peux répondre aux

questions, Tex.

Tammy: If you want, you can answer the

questions, Tex.

Tex: D'accord. Mais si tu peux, choisis les

questions les plus croustillantes!

Tex: OK, but choose the juiciest questions

if you can!

Tammy: Entendu. Première question:

Qu'est-ce que vous ferez demain ... si vous

trouvez l'amour de votre vie?

Tammy: OK. First question: What will you

do tomorrow ... if you find the love of your life?

Tex: Si je rencontre l'amour de ma vie, je

l'épouserai, bien sûr!

Tex: If I meet the love of my life, I will

marry her, of course!

Note that either the si clause or the result clause may begin a sentence, but the same tenses remain specific to each

clause ('Qu'est-ce que vous ferez demain si vous trouvez l'amour de votre vie?' is the same as 'Si vous trouvez l'amour

de votre vie, qu'est-ce que vous ferez?') si + imperfect (imparfait) si clauseresult clause si + imperfect (contrary to current facts) conditional

This second type of si clause is contrary to fact in the present. The consequence is thus seen as impossible. Note that

in French, the imperfect is used in the si clause, never the conditional.

Le quizz continue. The quiz continues.

Tammy: Si vous étiez une voiture, que

seriez-vous?

If you were a car, what would you be?

Tex: Si j'étais une voiture, je serais la

légendaire 2CV.

Tex: If I were a car, I would be the

legendary 2CV.

Tammy: Si vous étiez un fruit, lequel

choisiriez-vous?

Tammy: If you were a fruit, which one

would you choose?

Tex: Si j'étais un fruit, je choisirais le

raisin pour pouvoir me transformer en vin.

Tex: If I were a fruit, I would choose

grapes, so that I could be transformed into wine.

Tammy: Si vous étiez une femme, que

feriez-vous?

Tammy: If you were a woman, what would

you do?

Tex: Si j'étais une femme, je ne lirais pas

les quiz dans les magazines.

Tex: If I were a woman, I would not read

the quizzes in magazines. si + pluperfect (plus-que-parfait) si clauseresult clause si + pluperfect (contrary to past facts) past conditional

This last type of si clause is used for situations that are contrary to past fact. The result clause thus expresses an

unrealized past possibility.

Et le quizz continue. And the quiz continues.

Tammy: Qu'est-ce que vous auriez fait, si

vous étiez né à College Station?

Tammy: What would you have done, if you

had been born in College Station? Tex: Si j'étais né à College Station, j'aurais préféré Texas A&M à UT. Quelle horreur!

Tex: If I had been born in College Station, I

would have preferred Texas A&M over UT!

How terrible!

Tammy: Si vous n'aviez pas connu Tammy,

qu'est-ce que vous auriez fait?

Tammy: If you hadn't met Tammy, what

would you have done?

Tex: Je n'aurais jamais répondu à un tel

quizz, si je n'avais pas connu Tammy!

Tex: I would never have taken such a quiz,

if I hadn't met Tammy!
