EGYÉB KÖTŐSZÓK A FELTÉTELES MONDATOKBAN

Átírás

1 ZÉRO FELTÉTELES MONDAT Okok, következmények, általános igazságok leírására használható. Ilyenkor az igeidők a két tagmondatban MEGEGYEZNEK. pl. Oil floats if you pour it on water. (Az olaj a víz színén úszik, ha vízbe öntjük.) (PresentSimple a Future Simple helyett!) VEGYES TÍPUS A feltételes mellékmondat és a főmondat nem mindig ugyanabba típusba tartozik (ahogy a magyarban sem!). pl. If you had studied, you wouldn t be afraid of the exam. 3. típus (múlt idejű) 2. típus (jelen idejű Ha tanultál volna, most nem félnél a vizsgától. EGYÉB KÖTŐSZÓK A FELTÉTELES MONDATOKBAN UNLESS = if + not (ha/csak/ nem ) Ilyenkor az if helyébe az unless szó kerül, és elhagyjuk a tagadást, mivel az unless magában foglalja azt. pl. If you do not study, you will fail your exam. Unless you study, you will fail your exam. (Ha / Hacsak nem tanulsz, megbuksz a vizsgádon.) If he does not apologise, I won t forgive him. Unless he apologises, I won t forgive him. (Ha / Hacsak nem kér bocsánatot, nem bocsátok meg neki.) (A do/does segédigét el kell hagynunk, mivel az csak a tagadáshoz kellett!) You wouldn t pass your exam if you did not study. You wouldn t pass your exam unless you studied. (Nem mennél át a vizsgádon, ha nem tanulnál.) (A did segédigét el kell hagynunk, mivel az csak a tagadáshoz kellett, és az ige a kijelentő, állító mondatban használatos 2. alakba kerül!!)

2 PROVIDED = feltéve, ha (tkp. ugyanaz, mint az if, de választékosabb) pl. You can go to the party provided you behave good. (Elmehetsz a buliba, feltéve, ha jól viselkedsz.) AS LONG AS = amíg, amennyiben pl. You will get good marks as long as you study hard. (Jó jegyeket fogsz kapni, amíg szorgalmasan tanulsz.) EVEN IF = még (akkor is / akkor sem) ha pl. I won t go there even if you invite me. (Még akkor sem megyek oda, ha meghívsz.) She will stay here even if you don t like her. (Itt fog maradni, még akkor is, ha nem tetszik neked.) HALADÓKNAK! EGYÉB FELTÉTELES SZERKEZETEK A FELTÉTEL NAGYOBB BIZONYTALANSÁGA, KÉTELY KIFEJEZÉSE (ha esetleg, ha netán ) A) I. típusú (jövő idejű) mellékmondatban a SHOULD segédigét illeszthetjük be pl. If my friends come, we will play football. If my friends should come, we will play football. (Ha esetleg eljönnek a barátaim, focizni fogunk.) B) II. típusú (jelen idejű) mellékmondatban a WERE TO (+infinitive) szerkezetet illeszthetjük be pl. If you came, I would be glad. If you were to come, I would be glad. (Ha esetleg eljönnél, örülnék.) Tagadó formában nem használható!

3 NAGYON ERŐS BIZONYTALANSÁG VAGY UDVARIAS FELTÉTELEZÉS KIFEJEZÉSE FORDÍTOTT SZÓRENDET alkalmazhatunk, a következőképpen: A) I. típusú mellékmondatban A should segédigét az alany elé helyezzük pl. Should he come, we will play football. (Ha netán véletlenül eljön, focizni fogunk.) B) II. típusú mellékmondatban A were to szerkezetből a were-t az alany elé helyezzük pl. Were you to come, I would be glad. (Ha netalán eljönnél, örülnék.) C) III. típusú mellékmondatban A had segédigét az alany elé helyezzük pl. Had you arrived earlier, we would have been glad. (Ha netán hamarabb érkeztél volna, örültünk volna.) Tagadó formában nem használható! WILL/WOULD a feltételben A "főszabály" szerint a feltételben nem szerepelhet sem will, sem would, ám természetesen ez alól is van kivétel. Ennek oka elsősorban az, hogy a will-nek - jövőidejű funkciója mellett - 'hajlandó' jelentése is van. Használható: a) Udvariassági formulákban, főként kérésben pl. If you will kindly wait here, I ll get you the receipt in a minute. If you would kindly wait here, I ll get you the receipt in a minute. (mindkettő: Ha lenne kedves itt várni, egy perc múlva hozom a receptet.) b) Hajlandóság kifejezésére pl. If you ll stop smoking, I ll stop crying. (Ha hajlandó leszel leszokni a dohányzásról, abbahagyom a kiabálást.) If they would wash up, I would be satisfied. (Ha hajlandóak lennének elmosogatni, elégedett lennék.) If she would have come, we could have danced. (Ha hajlandó lett volna eljönni, táncolhattunk volna.) SAJÁTOS IF-ES KIFEJEZÉSEK IF IT WEREN T FOR / IF IT HADN T BEEN FOR = ha nem lenne / ha nem lett volna A főmondatban az 2. és 3. típusú főmondat szabályai érvényesek. pl. If it weren t for this drought, we d have much better crops. (Ha nem lenne ez a szárazság, sokkal jobb termésünk lenne.) If it hadn t been for Ann, we d all have been arrested at Hegyeshalom. (Ha nem lett volna Ann, letartóztattak volna minket Hegyeshalomnál.) Alkalmazható fordított szórenddel is (Ilyenkor az if -et elhagyjuk, a segédige áll legelöl, utána az it, és a not + a többi): pl. Were it not for this drought, we d have much better crops. Had it not been for Ann, we d all have been arrested at Hegyeshalom.
