                    1.   If you pass the hall, you will see Krida Loka conference room.

                    NOTES:

                    1.   The sentences consist of two clauses, the main clause and the If clause.

                    2.   The   If   clause   gives   a   condition  to   the   main   clause.

                         The condition is introduced with “IF”, that is why it is called an IF-conditional clause. 

                          The condition is real in a sense that the condition may actually happen in the future.

                    3.   The   main   clause   tells   us   the   result   if   the   condition happens.

                           It is called a result clause.

                    4.   The main clause takes future tense, as in:

                         -     You will see Krida Loka conference room

                         -     It will take about five minutes

                         ( Notes: the use of other present modals is possible, such as:   can   or   may)

5.   The If clause takes simple present tense, as in:

                         -     If you pass the hall

                         -     If you go there on foot.

                    6.   The If clause can be in initial or final position. When you put it in the initial position, 

                          don’t   forget   to   put   a comma   (,).
