    Conditional sentences describe results based on certain conditions. There are four types of conditional sentences: 1) Zero conditional refers to generally true statements using the present simple tense. 2) First conditional refers to possible future situations using "if" and future tense. 3) Second conditional imagines unlikely future situations using "if" and conditional tense. 4) Third conditional imagines different past situations and results using "if only" or "would have". Mixed conditionals combine elements of past and present/future.
