类型一: if + 形容词 adj.
省略的主语和be,要注意主语和形容词对应。
- if true, this essay may change theory what we believed for a long time.
- Make a sign telling me if ready.
某些固定搭配:
- If necessary, ring me on my cellphone.
- If possible, let me know beforehand.
类型二:if + 过去分词 past participle
和上一条基本一样,这里就是把形容词的位置换成了过去分词,在高考英语中经常考主谓一致的时候会在这里出考题,请注意主谓一致。

- Small trifles can escalate to a violence event if not paid good attention to.
- This fact proves that if put in the same position, women are able to earn as much as men do.

这类省略比较依靠上下文,理解要靠语感。

类型四: if + 介词短语 prepositional phrase
有些固定搭配,理解主要依靠语境。

- If by any chance you can't manage dinner tonight, perhaps we can at least have a drink together.

- He seldom sings if ever.
- I seldom do housework if ever.
- If ever you are in America, do give me a ring.
