What Is It
Conditional
Conditional sentences consist of two parts:
The if-clause (which is a condition) and the main clause (which is a result)
For example:
There are four types of conditionals namely the zero conditional, the first conditional, the
second conditional and the third conditional.
The Zero Conditional is composed with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if clause'
and one in the 'main clause'). It is used when the result will always happen.
If I eat peanuts, I am sick
The First Conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other
clause. It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future.
The Second Conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive
If + past simple + would + verb (infinitive)
First, we can use it to talk about things in the future that are probably not going to be true.
Second, we can use it to talk about something in the present which is impossible, because
it's not true.
If I had his number, I would call him. (I don't have his number now, so it's impossible for me
to call him).
The Third Conditional is used with the past perfect after 'if' and then 'would have' and
the past participle in the second part of the sentence. It talks about the past. It's used to
describe a situation that didn't happen, and to imagine the result of this situation.
