पहला सशर्त: आदेश और सलाह (यदि + आज्ञावाचक)
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use this to give direct instructions or advice based on a specific future possibility: 'If [condition], [do this]!'
- Use Present Simple after 'if' for the condition: 'If you see him...'
- Use the base verb (Imperative) for the result: '...tell him to call me.'
- For negative commands, use 'don't': 'If it rains, don't go out.'
Overview
First Conditional: Commands & Advice या If + Imperative स्ट्रक्चर कहा जाता है। एक हिंदी भाषी होने के नाते, आप इस बात को आसानी से समझ सकते हैं क्योंकि हमारी मातृभाषा में भी हम रोज़ाना ऐसे वाक्यों का उपयोग करते हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, जब हम कहते हैं, «अगर बारिश हो, तो छाता ले लेना,» तो हम एक शर्त (बारिश होना) रख रहे हैं और उस स्थिति में क्या करना है, उसका निर्देश (छाता लेना) दे रहे हैं।First Conditional (जैसे: If it rains, I will stay home.) और इस Imperative वाले रूप में मुख्य अंतर यह है कि यहाँ हम यह नहीं बता रहे कि क्या *होगा*, बल्कि यह बता रहे हैं कि क्या *किया जाना चाहिए*।If-clause (शर्त वाला हिस्सा) और Main clause (निर्देश वाला हिस्सा)।- 1If-clause (The Condition): यह वह स्थिति है जो पूरी होनी चाहिए। हिंदी में इसे हम «अगर» या «यदि» से शुरू करते हैं। अंग्रेज़ी में इसके लिए
Present Simpleटेंस का उपयोग किया जाता है। - 2Main clause (The Imperative): यह वह क्रिया है जो शर्त पूरी होने पर की जानी है। यहाँ हम
willयाshallका प्रयोग नहीं करते, बल्कि सीधेImperativeयानी क्रिया के मूल रूप (Base form) का उपयोग करते हैं।
If वाले वाक्यों में then का प्रयोग व्याकरणिक रूप से ज़रूरी नहीं होता; उसकी जगह एक अल्पविराम (Comma) ही काफी होता है।If you are tired, rest. |If the phone rings, answer it. |Imperative वाक्यों में कर्ता (Subject) यानी you हमेशा छिपा रहता है। जब आप कहते हैं Close the door, तो इसका मतलब होता है (You) Close the door। इसी तरह, If you see him, tell him में दूसरे हिस्से में you बोलने की ज़रूरत नहीं है। यह हिंदी के समान ही है, जहाँ हम कहते हैं «अगर वह दिखे, (तुम) उसे बता देना»—यहाँ «तुम» बोलना वैकल्पिक है।If + Subject + Present Simple (V1/V1+s/es), + Verb (Base Form) + Object.If you go to the market, buy some milk.(अगर बाज़ार जाओ, तो थोड़ा दूध खरीद लेना।)If the light is red, stop your car.(अगर लाइट लाल हो, तो अपनी गाड़ी रोक दो।)
Don't का प्रयोग करते हैं।If + Subject + Present Simple, + Don't + Verb (Base Form) + Object.If you are driving, don't use your phone.(अगर आप गाड़ी चला रहे हैं, तो फ़ोन का इस्तेमाल न करें।)If it is expensive, don't buy it.(अगर यह महंगा है, तो इसे मत खरीदना।)
- If-clause पहले:
If you need help, ask me.(यहाँIfक्लॉज़ के बाद कॉमा लगाना अनिवार्य है।) - Imperative पहले:
Ask me if you need help.(यहाँ कॉमा की ज़रूरत नहीं है।)
If को पहले रखें। अगर आप काम (Action) पर ज़ोर देना चाहते हैं, तो Imperative को पहले रखें।If the water boils, add the tea leaves.(अगर पानी उबलने लगे, तो चाय पत्ती डाल दें।)If the laptop freezes, press the power button for five seconds.(अगर लैपटॉप हैंग हो जाए, तो पावर बटन को पाँच सेकंड तक दबाएँ।)
If you want to lose weight, avoid sugary drinks.(अगर आप वज़न कम करना चाहते हैं, तो मीठे पेय पदार्थों से बचें।)If you feel stressed, try some yoga.(अगर आप तनाव महसूस कर रहे हैं, तो योग करने की कोशिश करें।)
If you see a fire, call the fire brigade immediately.(अगर आपको आग दिखे, तो तुरंत फायर ब्रिगेड को फ़ोन करें।)If the floor is wet, walk carefully.(अगर फर्श गीला हो, तो सावधानी से चलें।)
If you arrive late, sign the register at the reception.(अगर आप देर से आते हैं, तो रिसेप्शन पर रजिस्टर में साइन करें।)If you use the office kitchen, clean up after yourself.(अगर आप ऑफिस की किचन इस्तेमाल करते हैं, तो बाद में सफाई खुद करें।)
If you will go, will tell me. यह पूरी तरह गलत है।- गलत:
If you will see him, tell him. - सही:
If you see him, tell him. - कारण:
Ifक्लॉज़ में कभी भीwillका प्रयोग नहीं होता, औरImperativeक्लॉज़ में भी आदेश देते समयwillकी ज़रूरत नहीं होती।
then लगा देते हैं।- अप्राकृतिक:
If it rains, then stay inside. - सही:
If it rains, stay inside. - नोट: हालांकि
thenबोलना व्याकरणिक रूप से पूरी तरह गलत नहीं माना जाता, लेकिन आधुनिक अंग्रेज़ी में यह बहुत भारी और अप्राकृतिक लगता है। एक कॉमा ही काफी है।
Imperative वाक्यों में कर्ता को बार-बार बोलना ज़रूरी नहीं है।- गलत:
If you are hungry, you eat something. - सही:
If you are hungry, eat something. - कारण:
Imperativeका मतलब ही है कि आप सामने वाले (You) को बोल रहे हैं, इसलिए उसे दोबारा बोलने की ज़रूरत नहीं है।
First Conditional के सामान्य रूप और Imperative रूप में भ्रमित हो जाते हैं। नीचे दी गई टेबल से अंतर स्पष्ट हो जाएगा:If + Present, Subject + Will + V1 | If + Present, V1 (Imperative) |If you study, you will pass. (परिणाम) | If you study, take short breaks. (सलाह) |When you arrive, call me.(जब आप पहुँचें, मुझे फ़ोन करें - यहाँ पक्का है कि आप पहुँचेंगे।)If you arrive early, call me.(अगर आप जल्दी पहुँचें, मुझे फ़ोन करें - यहाँ जल्दी पहुँचना एक संभावना है।)
If का मतलब है कि क्रिया तभी करनी है जब स्थिति पैदा हो। In case का मतलब है कि स्थिति पैदा होने की तैयारी में पहले से ही कुछ कर लेना।If it rains, take an umbrella.(बारिश हो तो छाता लेना।)Take an umbrella in case it rains.(छाता साथ रख लो, शायद बारिश हो जाए।)
please जोड़ सकते हैं।If you have a moment, please help me.(अगर आपके पास समय हो, तो कृपया मेरी मदद करें।)
If you are feeling sick, go to the doctor. (अगर आप बीमार महसूस कर रहे हैं, तो डॉक्टर के पास जाएँ।)If you feel tired, you should rest. भी सही है, लेकिन यह Imperative नहीं बल्कि एक सामान्य सुझाव वाला वाक्य बन जाता है। If you feel tired, rest. अधिक सीधा और प्रभावशाली है।Structure of Conditional Imperatives

Smart Tips
Add 'please' or 'why don't you' to the command.
Use the imperative to be clear and concise.
Check if the 'will' is in the if-clause. If it is, delete it!
Try starting with the command to sound more encouraging.
उच्चारण
The Comma Pause
When the 'if' clause is first, there is a slight rising intonation at the end of the clause, followed by a brief pause.
Imperative Stress
The verb in the imperative clause usually carries the primary stress of the sentence because it is the most important action.
Condition-Command
If it rains ↗, stay inside ↘.
The rising tone shows the condition is pending; the falling tone shows the command is final.
याद करें
स्मृति सहायक
Remember: 'If' starts the race (Present Simple), and the 'Command' crosses the finish line (Base Verb).
दृश्य संबंध
Imagine a traffic light. If the light is red (Condition), STOP (Imperative). The action is immediate and direct.
Rhyme
If you see a chance, take it! If you make a mess, bake it!
Story
A boss tells an employee: 'If the phone rings, answer it. If the client complains, apologize. If the boss enters, stand up.' Every situation has a specific action.
Word Web
चैलेंज
Write 3 'If' rules for your house (e.g., 'If you use a cup, wash it').
सांस्कृतिक नोट्स
British speakers often add 'do' before the imperative to make it sound more like a warm invitation or a polite suggestion.
American English tends to be very direct with conditional imperatives, especially in service and safety contexts.
In corporate environments, 'please' is almost always added to soften the command, even if the speaker has authority.
The imperative mood is one of the oldest features of Indo-European languages, used for direct survival instructions. The conditional 'if' (Old English 'gif') was later paired with it to create logical contingencies.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
Yes, `If you are tired, you should sleep` is correct and slightly softer than `If you are tired, sleep`. Both are common.
Yes, `If you're finished, you can go` is a common variation. It's a permission rather than a command.
In English, the `if` word already implies a future possibility, so adding `will` is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
It's neutral. It depends on the verb. `If you're hungry, eat` is informal. `If the alarm sounds, evacuate` is formal.
Yes! `Unless you're busy, help me` means `If you aren't busy, help me`.
The imperative is only for 'you'. For others, use `let`: `If he arrives, let him in.`
Only if the `if` clause is at the beginning. `If it rains, stay home` (Yes). `Stay home if it rains` (No).
No, that would make it a Second Conditional, which is for imaginary situations. For real commands, use the Present Simple.
