On Ways of Expression for Implied Condition in English

In English, the notion of condition can be expressed by adverbial clauses which are introduced by conjunctions like if, unless, etc. However, many other kinds of ways, which can be found not only in subjunctive mood, but in indicative mood and imperative mood as well, may also contribute to the expression of condition. In such literary style as fiction or drama, implied condition tends to have a higher frequency than adverbial clause of condition, which is thought to be more apparant in expression.
