If Conditional

Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.

Conditional Sentence Type 1 :
It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form : if + Simple Present, will-Future
Example : If I find her address, I'll send her an invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example : I will send her an invitation if I find her address.
Use :
Conditional Sentences Type I refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don't know for sure whether the condition 

Conditional Sentence Type 2 :
It is possible but very unlikely, that the conditional will be fulfilled.
From : If + Simple Past, Conditional I (=would + Infinitive)
Example : If I found her address, I would send her invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example : I would send her an invitation if I found her address.
Use :
Conditional Sentences Type II refer to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation were different. I don't really expect the situation to change, however. I just imagine „what would happen if …“

Conditional Sentence Type 3 :
It is impossible that the conditional will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.
Form : if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (=would + have + Past Participle)
Example : If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.
Example : I would have sent her an invitation if I had found her address.
Use :
Conditional Sentences Type III refer to situations in the past. An action could have happened in the past if a certain condition had been fulfilled. Things were different then, however. We just imagine, what would have happened if the situation had been fulfilled.

Iklan Dalam Etika Bisnis





Pada saat ini, banyak sekali iklan-iklan di media cetak atau media elektronik tentang produk pewangi pakaian. Setiap produk pewangi pakaian berlomba-lomba untuk menarik konsumennya agar tertarik dengan produk pewangi pakaian tersebut.

Saya melihat salah satu iklan pewangi pakaian So Klin Pewangi Glamour di salah satu siaran TV. So Klin Pewangi Glamour adalah salah satu jenis pewangi pakaian yang mempunyai slogan "Double Perfume Extra Wanginya". Dengan slogan tersebut perusahaan berusaha meyakinkan kepada konsumen bahwa produk So Klin Pewangi Glamour ini memiliki wangi yang tahan lama. Model dari produk So Klin Pewangi Glamour ini adalah Eva Celia. 

Di dalam iklan tersebut menjelaskan bahwa Eva diberikan So Klin Pewangi Glamour oleh seorang pria yang membuat Eva lebih "ngehits" dari sebelumnya. Padahal sebelum memakai So Klin Pewangi Glamour, Eva adalah seseorang yang cupu dan di jauhi oleh orang-orang di sekitarnya dan terjatuh pada saat berjalan karena seseorang dengan sengaja membuat Eva jatuh seperti gambar yang di atas. 

Menurut saya pada saat Eva di jauhi oleh orang-orang di sekitarnya dan menjadi korban bully, hal tersebut tidak baik karena termasuk dalam tindakan bullying. Jika iklan tersebut dilihat oleh anak-anak bisa saja anak-anak tersebut menirunya disekolah atau dimana pun mereka berada. Jadi, lebih baik perusahaan membuat iklan yang tidak ada unsur bully di dalamnya agar anak-anak tidak meniru tindakan tersebut.
