Conditional sentence

A conditional sentence consists of two clauses; the if-clause, and the main clause. The if-clause can come first or second. When it comes first, we usually put a comma between the two clauses.


·  Conditional Sentence Type 1
The if-clause is in the present tense, the main clause uses will and the infinitive, or simple present.
Rumus:
IF + S + VERB (PRESENT) , S + VERB (PRESENT)
Or
IF + S + VERB (PRESENT) , S + WILL + VERB

Contoh:
If I have a lot of money, I'll buy a car.
If he runs quickly, he will get there soon.
I will visit them if I have enough time.

When do we use conditional sentence type 1?
a.       We use conditional sentence type 1 to talk about possible situations in the present or future.
If you leave earlier, you will not be late.
If you open the windows, the room will get some fresh air.
b.      We often use conditional type 1 to talk about facts or processes:
If you heat water to 100 degrees, it will boil.
If we stare into the sun, we will hurt our eyes.

Note:
Other modal verbs can also be used in place of will and would.
·         If it rains like this all day, the river might flood. (might = will possibly)
·         If it rains like this all day, the river could flood. (could = will be able to)


·  Conditional Sentence Type 2
The if-clause is in the simple past or the past continuous tense, the main clause uses would and the infinitive, or would be and the present participle (Verb-ing).
Rumus:
IF + S + VERB (PAST), S + VERB (PAST)
Or                                         
IF + S + VERB (PAST), S + WOULD + VERB

When do we use conditional sentence type 2?
Conditional sentence type 2 is used to talk about actions or situations that are not taking place in the present or future, but we can imagine the probable result.
·         If we didn’t live in a big city, we would not have to breathe polluted air everyday. (In truth, we live in a big city)
·         If he were here, I would tell him about my plan.
(In fact, he isn’t here)


·  Conditional Sentence Type 3
The if-clause is in the past perfect or the past perfect continuous tense, the main clause uses would have and past participle (Verb 3), or would have been and present participle (Verb-ing).
Rumus:
IF + S + HAD + VERB III, S + HAD + VERB III
Or
IF + S + HAD + VERB III, S + WOULD + HAVE + VERB III

When do we use conditional sentence type 3?
Conditional sentence type 3 is used to talk about actions or situations that did not take or were not taking place in the past, but we can imagine the probable result.
o    If you had come to the party last night, you would have met my cousin. (In truth, you didn’t come to the party last night)
o    If he had not been late this morning, his teacher would not have punished him. (In truth, he was late)

Pengangguran di Depok tahun 2012

  DEPOK - Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Sosial Kota Depok menyebutkan jumlah pengangguran di Depok mencapai lebih dari 70 ribu orang. Angka itu ikut menyumbang angka kemiskinan di Depok yang saat ini mencapai 49.253 jiwa.

Kategori masyarakat miskin di Depok menurut Program Pendataan Lindungan Sosial (PPLS) Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada 2010 yakni 310.279 orang. Sedangkan penduduk sangat miskin mencapai 7.257 jiwa.

Kepala Bidang Perencanaan Perekonomian dan Sosial Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah (Bappeda) Kota Depok Nuraini  menjelaskan, jumlah besar penduduk miskin disumbang oleh pengangguran.

"Oleh karena itu salah satu upaya dengan membuka lapangan pekerjaan. Para warga Depok harus dimotivasi dengan menjadi wirausahawan," ujarnya kepada wartawan, Senin (5/3/2012).

Anggota Komisi B DPRD Kota Depok dari Fraksi Gerindra Bangsa Muhammad Habe membenarkan kenaikan Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) akan menimbulkan warga miskin baru. Meski begitu pihaknya tidak bisa menolak rencana kenaikan BBM tersebut.

"Ini merupakan kebijakan Pemerintah, karena itu kami di daerah tidak bisa menolaknya walaupun tahu warga miskin akan bertambah," kata Habe.

Habe menambahkan, rencana kenaikan BBM sudah diwacanakan tahun lalu oleh Pemerintah. Karenanya pada 2012, dewan menyutujui penyertaan modal bagi masyarakat Depok.

"Penyertaan modal ditujukan agar warga tersebut dapat membuka lapangan pekerjaan yang baru. Tahun ini sebanyak 1.000 warga akan mendapatkan modal. Per orang mendapatkan Rp5 juta," tandasnya.


Menurut saya pengangguran di Depok di karenakan oleh adanya transmigrasi,karna letak kota Depok yang bersebelahan dengan Jakarta. Hal ini juga dapat di sebabkan oleh adanya pernikahan usia dini karna kurangnya bimbingan oleh orang tua mereka sehingga bisa menyebabkan ‘’baby boom’’ di daerah Depok. Lulusan Universitas yang berada di kota Depok juga melahirkan pengangguran jika para wisudawan Universitas di kota Depok tidak mendapatkan lapangan kerja dan  tidak dapat menciptakan lapangan kerja.

 Peran Pemerintah kota Depok sangatlah penting untuk memberikan penyuluhan bagi masyarakatnya agar mengerti tentang begitu sulitnya persaingan di dunia kerja dan para masyarakat kota Depok dapat menciptakan lapangan pekerjaan atau menjadi wirausaha.
