==Lesson==

* Third Class (or Future) Condition

* Fourth Class Condition

Any condition sentence consists of two parts. The first part is called the '''protasis''' and is the condition - in English it begins with "'''if'''". The second part is called the '''apodosis''' - in English it begins with "'''then'''".

===First Class Condition===

First class conditions are formed by

* Protasis - ει + indicative

* Apodosis - anything

The protasis in first class conditions is negated by [[ου]], as would be expected for the indicative mood.

===Second Class Condition===

Second class conditions are formed by

* Protasis - ει + indicative

* Apodosis - αν + anything

The protasis in first class conditions is negated by [[μη]], rather than the expected [[ου]].

===Third Class (or Future) Condition===

Third class conditions are formed by

* Protasis - εαν + subjunctive

* Apodosis - anything

===Fourth Class Condition===

Fourth class conditions are not found in the New Testament. They are formed by

* Protasis - ει + optative

* Apodosis - αν + optative (or αν + imperfect)
