    The document discusses three types of conditionals: zero, first, and second. [1] The zero conditional uses the present simple tense in both clauses to describe events that always happen under certain circumstances. [2] The first conditional uses the present simple in the if-clause and will + verb in the result clause to talk about possible future events. [3] The second conditional uses past tense verbs to talk about unlikely or impossible events by expressing something that would happen if an improbable condition were true.

    A conditional sentence has 2 clauses:
    an ‘if clause’ and a ‘result clause’.

    E.g: If the weather is fine, we eat in the garden.


    If we miss the bus, there will be another one.

    • Either clause of both clauses can be negative.


    E.g: If the weather is not fine, we will not eat in the
    garden.
