Lesson Transcript

[00:00:00] In chapter 35, we're going to complete our investigation of determine looking at the non indicative forms. And we're also going to round out what we should know about conditional sentences. If you look at the subjunctive active in the right hand column compared to the present, active in the left hand column, you can see that if you remove the duplication, they are exactly the same. So that's your clue there. When you look at the subjunctive passive, if you look in the left hand column, it's the present and it is what you would expect, except that the vowels are always long stem vowels. That is. Then when you look at the error, subjunctive, passive, you don't have the re duplication, but you have the tense, formative and the same lengthened vowels with the appropriate endings. So you can see how similar they are and how easy it is going to be. Identify them. When you get into the imperative dilemma, be present on the left, artist on the right. Second, singular is what you have to memorize, and after that is told to Tolson. And what you have is be duplication in the present and none on the right. So again, very straightforward. Infinitives also should be pretty straightforward. The president has the re duplication with the Yoda and the arrows doesn't. You want to take some time looking at the participles, but I think you'll find that they're very simple as well. Now let's finish out what we learned about conditional sentences. Remember the two terms process and the participants? The process is the if clause, and that's the conditional element. If this then that and they are participants is the then clause. Back in chapter 31, we learned the two types of third class conditional sentences which are started with a non in the subjunctive via the future, more probable in the present general.

[00:02:00] But let's take a look at the first and second, a first class conditional sentences also called a condition of fact. The process has a and the indicative and what is saying is that if such and such is true, and for the sake of argument, let's assume that it is, then this will happen. So you generally translate the A's. And if so, for example, Jesus says, If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off. We often drop off the then in English there are, however, times where if you translate the A with an if it brings in some ideas that are actually not intended by the speaker. For example, Paul says, If we believe that Jesus died in Rose again, well there's no if about it in in some of these cases you can translate since since we believe that Jesus died in rose again but be pretty careful with this try to keep if as you translation of a if possible. A second class conditional sentences called a contrary effect. And what they're saying is that if something is true, even though it's not, then such and such will happen. And what you will have is a in the indicative in the practices, but you'll have on Alpha Nu in the other parties. And that, along with context, will make it clear that you're looking at a second class conditional sentence. Paul says if they had known him, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. Well, of course they didn't know him, but if they had, then they wouldn't have crucified him. So that's first and second class conditional sentences. So let's take a look at the vocabulary.
