IF CLAUSE -- TYPE 3

Fact: Last week, it rained heavily. Yulio didn't come to Rina's birthday party.
In such a condition,  you really wanted to go there, but it was very impossible to do
because it rained heavily.
To express conditional sentence, the formula used is type 3.

If It had not rained heavily, Yulio would have come to Rina's birthday party.

Type 3:
    IF CLAUSE                                EXPECTATION
    If, past perfect                              -> past perfect future
          1. (+) had + V3                     (+) would + have + V3  / been

               (-) had not + V3                (-) would not have +V3 / been      
                                                                                            (Adj, Adv, N)   
          2. (+) had been (Adj, Adv, N)  
               (-) had not been
   
Conclusion:
If the fact is in positive form (+) ->  if clause is in negative form
i.g:
They treated me badly              - >  If they had not treated  me badly
She was crazy                          ->   If she had not been crazy
or
If the fact is in negative form (-) ->  if clause is in positive form

i.g:
I didn't  have money                   ->  If I had had money
She didn't come  here                 ->  If She had come here
       
and for the expectation,
If the fact is in positive form (+) ->  Expectation is in negative form

i.g:
He went home alone                 - > He would not have gone home
                                                     alone
I was confused with your attitude - > I would not have been confused with your attitude
or

If the fact is in negative form (-) -> Expectation is in positive form

i.g:
He didn't care of me                   ->  He would have cared of me
They were not diligent                 ->  They would have been diligent

IF CLAUSE -- TYPE 2

We often have imagination/expectation in our life that is contrary to
the fact in front of us. For example: If I'm rich I will....., If I get a good
mark I will....If I meet my idol I will....., etc. To express those all, we
can use the following formula if there is impossibility to
bring them into reality.

Type 1:
    IF CLAUSE                                EXPECTATION
    If, simple past                               -> past future
          1. (+)verb 2 (past)                  (+) would + V1  / be
               (-) didn't + V1                   (-) would not       (Adj, Adv, N)   
          2. (+) were (Adj, Adv, N)
               (-) were not
    i.g:
    If I had money, I would treat you meatball   
   (Jika aku punya uang, Aku akan mentraktir kamu bakso)
    This sentence shows the fact: "I don't have money, I don't
                                                  treat you meatball"
    (kalimat ini menunjukkan kenyataan Aku tidak punya uang
                                                 aku tidak mentraktir kamu
                                                 bakso) 
Conclusion:
If the fact is in positive form (+) ->  if clause is in negative form
i.g:
I get a punishment                    - >  If I didn't get a punishment
I am a student                          ->   If I were not a student
or
If the fact is in negative form (-) ->  if clause is in positive form

i.g:
I don't have money                   ->  If I had money
She doesn't look at me             ->  If She looked at me
       
and for the expectation,
If the fact is in positive form (+) ->  Expectation is in negative form

i.g:
He takes me home by bus       - > He would not take me home
                                                     by bus
I am angry with him                 - > I would not be angry with him
or

If the fact is in negative form (-) -> Expectation is in positive form

i.g:
He doesn't take  me home by taxi ->  He would take me home by taxi
They are not tired soon            ->  They would be tired soon

IF CLAUSE /CONDITIONAL SENTENCE (TYPE 1)

We often have imagination/expectation in our life that is contrary to
the fact in front of us. For example: If I'm rich I will....., If I get a good
mark I will....If I meet my idol I will....., etc. To express those all, we
can use the following formula if there is a good chance/possibility to
bring them into reality.

    IF CLAUSE                                EXPECTATION
    If, simple present                         -> present future
          1. (+)verb1 / v(s/es)                   (+) will + V1  / be
               (-) don't/doesn't V1               (-) won't         (Adj, Adv, N)   
          2. (+) is,am,are (Adj, Adv, N)
               (-) is not, am not, are not
    i.g:
    If I have money, I will treat you meatball today
    (Jika aku punya uang, Aku akan mentraktir kamu bakso hari ini)
    This sentence shows the fact: "I don't have money, I don't
                                                  treat you meatball today"
    (kalimat ini menunjukkan kenyataan Aku tidak punya uang
                                                 aku tidak mentraktir kamu
                                                 bakso hari ini)

i.g:
I get a punishment                    - >  If I don't get a punishment
I am a student                          ->   If I am not a student
or
If the fact is in negative form (-) ->  if clause is in positive form

i.g:

She doesn't look at me             ->  If She looks at me
       
and for the expectation,

                                                     by bus
I am angry with him                 - > I will not be angry with him
or

If the fact is in negative form (-) -> Expectation is in positive form

i.g:
