I MỤC ĐÍCH CHUYÊN ĐỀ
- Câu điều kiện và các dạng câu đặc biệt có liên quan là một trong những chuyên đề cơ bản và rất quan trọng trong đề thi đại học Chỉ cần nắm được cấu trúc của các loại câu điều kiện, các biến thể của chúng, cách sử dụng là học sinh có thể dễ dàng có được những điểm số vô cùng quan trong trong bài thi Ngoài việc giúp các em hệ thống đầy đủ, ôn lại những kiến thức trọng tâm, chuyên
đề câu điều kiện còn giúp các em phân biệt một các rõ ràng hơn, mở rộng kiến thức liên quan và làm bài tập một cách linh hoạt
II KIẾN THỨC CƠ BẢN
* Định nghĩa :
Có 2 mệnh đề trong câu điều kiện: Mệnh đề chính và mệnh đề điều kiên( mệnh đề if)
- Mệnh đề điều kiện (mệnh đề if) có thể đặt trước hoặc sau mệnh đề chính Khi nó đứng trước mệnh đề chính, dùng dấu phẩy để tách 2 mệnh đề Khi nó theo sau mệnh đề chính không dùng dấu phẩy
Ex: If I have money, I will buy a new car
I will buy a new car if I have money
A CÁC LOẠI CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN
Type 1 : FUTURE POSSIBLE ( Diễn tả một khả năng có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai) A/ Dạng cơ bản:
If + S + V(simple present), S + V(simple future)
Ex: If I have time, I will go
B/ Những trường hợp khác:
1/ If + S + V(simple present) , Imperative (mệnh lệnh)
Ex:If you go to the post office, please mail this letter for me
2/ Imperative (mệnh lệnh) + or + S + V(simple future).
Ex: Prepare the lesson carefully or you will get a bad mark
= If you don't prepare the lesson carefully, you will get a bad mark
3/ If + S + V(simple present) , S + V(simple present)
→ diễn tả một sự thật hiển nhiên (If=When=Whenever)
Ex: If you mix blue and yellow, you get green
4 If not = Unless (trừ khi)
Ex: If you don't hurry, you'll be late for school
=> Unless you hurry, you'll be late for school
5 As long as/ So long as/ Provided (that)/ Providing (that)/ On condition that + Clause ( Miễn là/ với điều kiện)
Ex: As long as you drive carefully, you can use my car
= If you drive carefully, you can use my car
6 Clause 1 (might/do +V) + if + Clause 2 (the simple present)
* để chỉ khả năng khách quan
Ví dụ: It’s sunny We may get a headache if we go out without a hat
- Clause 1 (may/can + V) + if + Clause 2 (the simple present)
* để chỉ sự cho phép
Ví dụ: You can go home if you finish your test
- Clause 1 (must/should + V) + if + Clause 2 (the simple present)
* để chỉ yêu cầu, đề nghị
Ví dụ: You must do exercises if you want to get good marks
Type 2: PRESENT UNREAL (Diễn tả tình huống không có thật ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai)
Trang 2A/ Dạng cơ bản:
If + S + V(past subjunctive/ simple past), S + would/ could/ might + bare inf
Eg: I don't win a lot of money, so I can't spend most of it travelling round the world
→ If I won a lot of money, I could spend most of it travelling round the world
Eg: I am short; that's why I won't be a pilot
→If I were/ was taller, I would be a pilot
*past subjunctive:Quá khứ bàng thái cách/ Quá khứ giả định
- To be: chia "Were" cho tất cả các ngôi
- Không phải "To be : chia giống thì quá khứ đơnc) Trường hợp đặc biệt:
B/ Những trường hợp khác:
1/ The variation of the If-clause: (Biến thể của mệnh đề If)
If + S + V(past continuous), S + would/ could/ might + bare inf
Eg: If you were driving from London to Glasgow, which way would you go?
2/ The variation of the main clause: (Biến thể của mệnh đề chính)
If + S + V(past subjunctive/ simple past), S + would/ could/ might + be + V-ing
Eg: I am not on holiday; I am not touring Italy
→ If I were / was on holiday, I would be touring Italy
3/ Đảo ngữ của câu điều kiện loại 2:
- Bỏ If
- Đưa "Were" ra trước chủ ngữ
Eg: If I were you , I would eat less
=> Were I you, I would eat less
- Nếu trong câu không có động từ “were” thì mượn “were’ và dùng “ to Verb”
If I learnt Russian, I would read a Russian book
Were I to learn Russian, I would read a Russian book.
III/ Type 3: PAST UNREAL (Diễn tả tình huống không có thật ở quá khứ)
A/ Dạng cơ bản:
If + S + had + PP , S + would/ could/ might + have + PP
Eg: I didn't tell her any good news because I wasn't here early
→If I had been here earlier, I would have told her some good news
B/ Những trường hợp khác:
1/ The variation of the main clause: (Biến thể của mệnh đề chính)
If + S + had + PP , S + would/ could/ might + have + been + V-ing
Eg: Mr.Pike's son was there; that's why I wasn't sitting in front
→If Mr.Pike's son hadn't been there, I would have been sitting in front
2/ The variation of the If-clause: (Biến thể của mệnh đề If)
If + S + had + been + V-ing , S + would/ could/ might + have + PP
Eg: I was wearing a seat belt, so I didn't have a bad accident
=> If I hadn't been wearing a seat belt, I would have had a bad accident
3/ Câu điều kiện pha trộn: Loại III + Loại II
Eg: He isn't a rich man now because he didn't take my advice
→If he had taken my advice, he would be a rich man now
If I had caught that plane, I would be dead now (the fact that I did not catch that plane.)
If I followed your advice, I would have a job now.(the fact that I didn’t follow your advice, so I don’t have a job now)
4/ Đảo ngữ của câu điều kiện loại 3:
- Bỏ If
- Had + S (not) + P.P
Eg:If I hadn't been careful, I would have had an accident last night
=>Had I not been careful, I would have had an accident last night
5/ Clause 1 (could have + P2) + if + Clause 2 (had + P2)
* chỉ sự chủ quan, sự cho phép
Ví dụ: I could have won a prize if I had taken part in the competition last week
Trang 3You could have gone to the cinema if you had finished your homework last night.
- Clause 1 (might have + P2) + if + Clause (had + P2)
* chỉ khả năng khách quan
Ví dụ: The last crop might have been better if it had rained much
B DANG BÀI TẬP LIÊN QUAN VÀ PHƯƠNG PHÁP GIẢI
1)Dạng chia động từ:
Cách làm : cần xác định từng cấp độ và loại câu điều kiện để chia động từ cho đúng
Ở cấp độ cơ bản thông thường người ta chia một vế cho mình rồi nên các em chỉ việc quan sát xem đó là loại mấy mà áp dụng công thức cho đúng
Ví dụ: If I meet him, I (give) him this book
Nhìn thấy câu đề cho bên if là thì hiện tại nên ta biết đó là loại 1 nên ta chia loại 1:
If I meet him, I will give him this book
Cũng có trường hợp hơi khó hơn là người ta sẽ đóng ngoặc cả hai bên Trong trường hợp này trước tiên các em xem sự việc có phải xảy ra ở quá khứ không, Nếu phải thì chia loại 3, nếu không
có dấu hiệu nào của quá khứ thì các em phải dịch nghĩa : nếu thấy không có khả năng hoặc khó có khả năng xảy ra thì dùng loại 2, nếu có khả năng xảy ra thì dùng loại 1
Ví dụ: If he (go) there yesterday, he (meet) her
Thấy có dấu hiệu của quá khứ (yesterday) nên ta chia loại 3:
If he had gone there yesterday, he would have met her
I (go) there if I (be) you
Không có dấu hiệu quá khứ nên ta dịch nghĩa: nếu tôi là bạn => chuyện không thể xảy ra nên dùng loại 2:I would go there if I were you
2) Dạng viết lại câu dùng IF:
Cách làm: Học sinh cần xác định rõ nghĩa của câu tình huống đã cho và thì của chúng để lựa chọn loại câu điều kiện phù hợp Dạng này người ta sẽ cho 2 câu riêng biệt hoặc nối với nhau bằng các chữ như : so = that’s why (vì thế), because ( bởi vì )
Đối với dạng này nếu các em thấy :
- Cả 2 câu đều chia thì tương lai thì dùng loại 1 (không phủ định)
- Một bên hiện tại, một bên tương lai / hiện tại thì dùng loại 2 (phủ định)
- Nếu có quá khứ trong đó thì dùng loại 3 (phủ định)
** Ghi chú: Phủ định là câu đề có not thì ta dùng không có not và ngược lại
- Nếu có because thì để if ngay vị trí because
- Nếu có so, that’s why thì để if ngược với vị trí của chúng.
* So + clause => Main clause
* That’s why + clause => Main clause
* Because + clause => If- clause
* Indicating clause of cause => If – clause
* Clause of result => Main clause
Example: They don’t have enough time so they cannot do me a favour.
=> If they had time, they could do me a favour.
She has a sore throat She doesn’t stop smoking.
=> If she stopped smoking, she wouldn’t have a sore throat
Ví dụ:I will go there I will buy you a dog.=> If I go there, I will buy you a dog
VD: I can’t go out because it is raining
=> If it weren’t raining, I could go out ( người ta can thì mình dùng, không đổi thành will )
3) Dạng viết lại câu đổi từ câu có if sang dùng unless
Unless = except if (= trừ phi, trừ khi )
Cách làm: Học sinh cần xác định rõ Unless và except it được sử dụng để đưa ra giả thuyết vì thế động từ theo sau chúng được chia như trong mệnh đề if của câu điều kiện, trong đó có thêm lưu ý Unless = If … not vì thế các em cần lưu ý không để bị sai nghĩa trong câu.
’ll see you tomorrow unless I have to work late (= except if I have to work late)
Tôi sẽ gặp bạn vào ngày mai trừ trường hợp tôi phải làm việc muộn
Don’t tell Sue what I said unless she asks you (= except if she asks you)
Trang 4Đừng kể với Sue những gì tôi nói trừ phi cô ấy hỏi bạn.
Ta thường dùng unless trong những lời có tính chất cảnh cáo:
We’ll be late unless we hurry (= except if we hurry)
Chúng ta sẽ trễ mất nếu chúng ta không khẩn trương
Unless you work much harder, you won’t pass the exam
Nếu bạn không học chăm chỉ hơn, bạn sẽ không thi đậu đâu
I was told I wouldn’t pass the exam unless I worked harder
Tôi đã được nhắc nhở rằng sẽ không thi đậu nếu không học chăm chỉ hơn
Thay vì dùng unless, ta có thể dùng if not:
Don’t tell Sue what I said if she doesn’t ask you
Chớ nói với Sue những gì tôi đã kể nếu cô ấy không yêu cầu bạn
We’ll be late if we don’t hurry
Chúng ta sẽ bị trễ nếu chúng ta không khẩn trương
4) Dạng viết lại câu đổi từ câu có But for/ without ….+ điều kiện loại II/ III sang dùng If hoặc ngược lại
Cách làm : Học sinh cần nắm rõ : But for/ without/if it weren’t for/ hadn’t been for…+NOUN.:
nếu không có… rồi sau đó chuyển sang mệnh đề phụ Cần lưu ý khi chuyển đa phần sử dụng If…….not để thay thế Mệnh đề chính thì chia thì phù hợp theo từng loại câu điều kiện.
Ví dụ:
If you did not help me, I wouldn’t pass my exam.
without your help, I wouldn’t pass my exam
without your help, I wouldn’t pass my exam
If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t pass my
exam
If there were no water, we could not live
If we did not have water, we could not live
without water, we could not live
But for water, we could not live
- You help me everyday so I can finish my work.
But for your daily help, I couldn’t finish my work
- She encouraged him and he succeeded.
But for her encouragement, he wouldn’t have succeeded
- The teacher explained and we understood.
But for the teacher’s explanation, we wouldn’t have understood
5) Dạng viết lại câu đổi từ câu có Or, otherwise sang dùng if :
Dạng này thường có cấu trúc là câu mệnh lệnh + or, otherwise + S will …
Cách làm như sau:If you don’t ( viết lại, bỏ or, otherwise )
Ví dụ: Hurry up, or you will be late ( nhanh lên, nếu không bạn sẽ trễ)
If you don’t hurry, you will be late ( nếu bạn không nhanh lên, bạn sẽ trễ)
Unless you hurry, you will be late
Ms Phương helped me a lot, otherwise I would have failed
If Ms Phuong had not helped me, I would have failed
6) Các dạng câu điều kiện ám chỉ:
As long as, provided, providing v.v.:
As long as hay so long as
provided (that) hay providing (that)
những thành ngữ này có nghĩa 'nếu' hay 'trong trường hợp mà'.
Cách làm : Học sinh cần xác định các từ nêu trên thường hiểu nghĩa tương đương với từ If vì thế động từ theo sau các cụm từ này cần chia trong mệnh đề phụ.
You can use my car as long as you drive carefully
You can use my car so long as you drive carefully
(= You can use my car but you must drive carefully - this is a condition)
Bạn có thể dùng xe của tôi nếu bạn đi cẩn thận
(bạn có thể dùng xe của tôi nhưng bạn hãy đi cẩn thận - đó là điều kiện)
Travelling by car is convenient provided (that) you have somewhere to park
Travelling by car is convenient providing (that) you have somewhere to park
(= but only if you have somewhere to park)

Providing (that) she studies hard - she’ll pass her exams
Provided (that) she studies, she’ll pass her exams
(=She must study hard - if she does this, she will pass)
Trang 5Với điều kiện là cô ấy học chăm chỉ, cô ấy sẽ thi đậu.
(= cô ấy phải học chăm - nếu cô ấy học chăm, cô ấy sẽ thi đậu)
In case khác với if Ta dùng in case để nói tại sao một người làm hay không làm điều gì đó: ta làm một việc để đề phòng một việc khác xảy ra sau đó Hãy so sánh:
We’ll buy some more food in case Tom comes (= Perhaps Tom will come; We'll buy some food now, whether he comes or not; then we'll already have the food if he comes.)
Chúng tôi mua thêm đồ ăn để phòng khi Tom đến (= Tom có thể đến; chúng tôi sẽ mua thêm đồ ăn, dù anh ta có đến hay không; vậy chúng tôi đã có thức ăn nếu anh ta đến.)
We’ll buy some more food if Tom comes (Perhaps Tom will come; if he comes, we'll buy some more food; if he doesn't come, we won't buy any more food.)
Chúng tôi sẽ mua thêm đồ ăn nếu Tom đến (=Có thể Tom đến, nếu anh ta đến, chúng tôi sẽ mua thêm
đồ ăn; nếu anh ta không đến chúng tôi sẽ không mua thêm đồ ăn.)
I’ll give you my phone number in case you need to contact me
Tôi sẽ cho anh số điện thoại của tôi phòng khi anh cần liên lạc với tôi
Bạn có thể dùng in case (+ thì quá khứ) để giải thích vì sao một người nào đó đã làm điều gì đó:
We bought some more food in case Tom came (= because it was possible that Tom would come)
Chúng tôi đã mua thêm đồ ăn phòng khi Tom đến (= bởi có thể Tom sẽ đến)
I drew a map for Sarah in case she couldn’t find the house
Tôi sẽ cho Sarah sơ đồ phòng khi cô ấy không tìm được nhà
We rang the bell again in case they hadn’t heard it the first time
Chúng tôi nhấn chuông một lần nữa phòng khi cô ấy không nghe thấy lần đầu
In case of là khác với in case In case of = if there is (nhất là ở các thông báo v.v.):
In case of fire, please leave the building as quickly as possible (= if there is a fire)
Trong trường hợp xảy ra hỏa hoạn, xin hãy rời khỏi tòa nhà càng nhanh càng tốt
7) Dạng bài đảo ngữ :
