    This document summarizes different types of conditional sentences in English: - Zero conditional uses present simple verbs to talk about general truths and always/usually situations. - First conditional uses present simple in the if-clause and will/can/may in the main clause to talk about possible future actions. - Second conditional uses past simple in the if-clause and would in the main clause to talk about unlikely present/future situations. - Unless can be used instead of if...not in any conditional for emphasis. - Third conditional uses had + past participle in the if-clause and would/could/might have + past participle to talk about hypothetical past situations.
