Lesson
A Conditional Sentence is one which conveys the idea that "if" a certain event occurs (or is true), "then" a certain outcome will occur (or is true).
In Koine Greek, there are 4 main grammatical ways of writing a conditional sentence.
- First Class Condition
- Second Class Condition
- 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)
