Хотя , пока будем формально считать, что время глагола, которое называется Future Simple Tense, является основным для выражения будущего времени в английском языке. Кстати, в сложных предложениях времени и условия в английском языке, о которых пойдет речь в этом уроке, используется именно Future Simple Tense.

1. Что такое придаточные предложения времени и условия?

Могут относиться к настоящему и будущему времени (реальные условия), а также бы нереальными. В этом уроке речь пойдет о сложных предложениях, которые относятся к будущему времени , типа

Если погода будет хорошая, я пойду гулять.

Такие предложения в английском языке называются условными предложениями ПЕРВОГО ТИПА (First Conditionals). Другое название — When and If Sentences / First Conditional and Time Clauses.

Обратите внимание, что в примере на русском языке в обеих частях : в первой части (придаточной) и во второй части (главной), употребляется будущее время.

Однако в английском языке работает ПРАВИЛО: после IF/ WHEN — нет будущего.

Оно означает, что в придаточном предложении вместо Future Simple, нужно употреблять Present Simple.

ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ. Вместо союза ЕСЛИ может стоять любой другой союз времени или условия.

Теперь настало время познакомиться с союзами времени и условия.

2. Союзы времени и условия в английском языке

Если вы начинающий, то запомните два главных союза if (если) и when (когда).

• I will stay if she comes. — Я останусь, если она придет.
• I will leave when he comes. — Я уйду, когда он придет.

А. Условные союзы в английском языке:

1. if — если
2. unless — если не
3. on condition that — при условии что

1. I will stay if she comes. — Я останусь, если она придет.
2. I will stay providing she comes. — Я останусь при условии, если только она придет.
3. I won’t stay unless she comes. — Я не останусь, если она не придет.

Обратите внимание, что в английских условных предложениях запятая отсутствует.

В. Союзы времени в английском языке

1. when — когда
2. as soon as — как только
3. till (until) — до тех пор пока (не)
4. before — раньше, до того как
5. after — после

1. I will leave when he comes. — Я уйду, когда он придет.
2. I will leave as soon as he comes. — Я уйду, как только он придет.
3. I won’t leave till he comes. — Я не уйду, пока он не придет.
4. I had left before he came. — Я ушел до того, как он пришел.
5. I left after he had come. — Я ушел после того, как он пришел.

Итак, подведем итоги этой темы и сформулируем еще раз основное ПРАВИЛО.

В придаточных предложениях, относящихся к будущему, после союзов when и if и других вместо будущего времени (Future Simple), надо употреблять наcтоящее (Present Simple). Такие предложения в английском языке называются First Conditional and Time Clauses.

Для самопроверки выберите правильный вариант.
