CONDITIONALS are statements expressing the result of a particular condition. If-clause and when-clause
present the condition while the main clause explains the results. Conditional statements may appear in both
affirmative and negative structures. In a statement, conditionals may appear first before the main clause. If the
main clause appears before conditional, the meaning of the sentence remains the same.

Types of Conditionals

Zero conditional deals with habits and general truths such as laws. It is formed using this structure: if/when
+ present simple >> present simple condition main clause

First conditional is used in dealing with things that are possibly or likely to happen in the future. Though
this type may be formed using unless, as long as, as soon as or in case, its most common form uses this
structure: if/when + present simple >> will + infinitive condition main clause

Second conditional is used in dealing with things impossible in the present and are unlikely to occur in the
future. It is formed using this structure: if + past simple >> would + infinitive condition main clause

Third conditional is used in dealing with things or change in past scenario yielding to different results. It is
formed using this structure: if + past perfect >> would have + past participle condition main clause
