If certain conditions are met, the document outlines different conditional structures that can be used to describe possible or certain future events. Specifically, it discusses using "if" with future tense verbs to express real possibilities, "unless" to mean "if not", "when" for certain events, and "as soon as" to emphasize immediacy. It also notes that the first conditional describes possible future events and zero conditional describes scientific facts.
