IV. Бессоюзные условные предложения

В научно-технической литературе встречаются бессоюзные условные предложения, в которых наблюдается обратный порядок слов, т.е. сказуемое или часть его (вспомогательный глагол) ставится перед подлежащим. Такая инверсия в предложении является признаком условного предложения в сослагательном наклонении.

Условное придаточное предложение	Главное предложение

The software would probably consist of integrated applications packages which might include a database program a word processor program and a graphic program. A diary planner program and a drug interaction program would also be useful.

The database program would be used to store patient files containing records of each patient. Each record would give details such as the patient’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth and medical history. It may also include dates for further appointments.

The doctor could instruct the program to search for a particular patient’s record which would then be displayed on a VDU screen. He could then update the record by inputting new information using a keyboard.

Using the database program, the records could be automatically sorted into any order e.g. alphabetical order, and classified into various categories. This would enable the doctor to quickly identify groups of patients, for example, men over forty with high blood pressure. Lists of any required category could be printed out using a printer.

Repeat prescriptions could also be stored on the database and printed out when required. The program could be designed to limit the number of times the repeat prescription would be printed without further instruction from the doctor. A drug interaction program would check each prescription so that drugs which interacted badly with each other would not be prescribed.
