Mixed Conditional: Menggabungkan Masa Lalu dan Masa Kini

Mixed conditional menggabungkan dua waktu dalam satu kalimat pengandaian, misalnya keputusan di masa lalu yang memengaruhi keadaan sekarang.

Suara:

Rumus

Lampau → sekarang

If + had + verb 3, would + verb 1 (now)

If I had taken that job, I would be rich now.

Sekarang → lampau

If + past simple, would have + verb 3

If I spoke French, I would have applied to Sciences Po.

Varian modal

… could / might + verb 1 / have + verb 3

If she hadn't moved, she might still be here.

Penjelasan

Tipe 1 (lampau → sekarang): syarat yang tidak terjadi di masa lalu, akibatnya terasa sekarang: If I had studied medicine, I would be a doctor now.
Tipe 2 (sekarang → lampau): sifat atau keadaan yang tetap (sekarang dan dulu), akibatnya di masa lalu: If I weren't afraid of heights, I would have climbed Rinjani with you.
Penanda waktu seperti now, today, still, yesterday, last year membantu pendengar memahami waktu tiap bagian.
Mixed conditional sering muncul di IELTS Speaking Part 3 dan esai refleksi karena menunjukkan kemampuan grammar yang kompleks.

Pertanyaan seputar bab ini

Apakah mixed conditional sering dipakai penutur asli?

Ya, terutama tipe lampau → sekarang, karena sangat alami untuk membicarakan keputusan hidup: If I hadn't moved here, I wouldn't have met you.

Bagaimana cara tahu tipe mana yang dipakai?

Tanyakan dua hal: kapan syaratnya (dulu atau selalu/sekarang)? Kapan akibatnya (dulu atau sekarang)? Lalu pasangkan rumusnya.
