Conditional Sentences

The teacher will explain the new theme
BUT FOR structure
Sometimes, the if-clause of unreal condition is replaced by the construction BUT FOR + noun or pronoun. Such structures can be used in situations referring to the past or present. Compare these pairs of conditional sentences:
1.But for the children, they would have divorced years ago.
– If they hadn't had the children, they would have divorced years ago.
2.But for the traffic jams, I'd like it here very much.
– If it weren't for the traffic jams, I'd like it here very much.
Inversion
The conjunction IF is sometimes omitted in the conditional sentences in which the if-clause contains SHOULD, WERE or HAD. In such cases, SHOULD, WERE, or HAD is moved to the beginning of the sentence and stands before the subject of the if-clause. In the negative sentences without IF, the negative particle NOT is not contracted with the auxiliary verb and stands after the subject of the subordinate clause. Examples of conditional sentences with and without the conjunction IF:
Unreal condition (second type):
If you should want to go to a restaurant, I would be glad to keep you company.
– Should you want to go to a restaurant, I would be glad to keep you company.
Unreal condition (second type):
If I were younger, I would go to the mountains with you.
– Were I younger, I would go to the mountains with you.
Unreal condition (second type, negative form):
If I weren't so tired, I would help you.
– Were I not so tired, I would help you.
Unreal condition (third type): If he had known about it, he would have refused to go there.
– Had he known about it, he would have refused to go there.
Unreal condition (third type, negative form):
If he hadn't known about it, he would have agreed to go there.
