difficult for foreigner. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with
him and she says, " If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the café at 7 o'clock," Is
she saying " yes" or " no" to his invitation?
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the
conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a "yes" or " no" answer to a
question. It enables people to be diplomatic. If the girl doesn't want to go out
with the boy, she won't turn up at the café. She will let him understand she is still
work
ing. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in
this case, as she uses the first conditional which s
hows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the café. Being polite can make life very difficult!
The conditional is often used by people in the news-politicians, for
example-who to avoid speaking out their ideas. Th
is is very important if they areon their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her
points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of
workers, " if we could pay you more, we would.' The use of the conditional here
makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional
form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their
rise.
"If" is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can
show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the
First-probability-if I can come to
your party, I will; the second -improbability-if I saw you tomorrow, I'd
give you the book; and the third-impossibility( meaning it is too late to change something that has
happened)-if you have told me. I would have helped you.
B. quicker
C. more polite
D. more exciting
B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
D. The word "if" can show different meanings.
B. the spokesman d
oesn't give any promiseC. the spokesman keeps his word
D. the workers' problems aren't difficult
B. how to invite a girl in Britain
C. British people and their life
D. some language points in daily English
foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, "If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the cafe
at 7 o'clock." Is she saying "yes" or "no" to his invitation?
In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure (表示条件的句式). By using the conditional,
speakers of English can avoid (避免) giving a "yes" or "no" answer to a question. It enables people to be
diplomatic(婉转的). If the girl doesn't want to go out with the boy, she won't appear at the cafe. She will let him
understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to catch,
she has achieved (达到) that with her reply. Here she uses the first conditional which shows probability, it seems
that she will go to the cafe. Being polite can make life very difficult!
The conditional is often used by people like politicians (政客), for example--who wish to avoid speaking out
their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away

could pay you more, we would." The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker
