    Conditional sentences express a result based on a condition. There are three types of conditional sentences: 1) Future possible condition uses present tense in the if-clause and future tense in the main clause. 2) Present unreal condition uses past tense in the if-clause and would in the main clause to express something unreal. 3) Past impossible condition uses past perfect in the if-clause and past future perfect in the main clause to express something that did not happen in the past.
