- 1The "zero conditional" is used when the time we refer to is now or always and the situation is real and possible.In conditional sentences of type 0, the term "if" can usually be replaced by "when" without changing the meaning.

If + simple present
If it rains, the grass gets wet. - 2"Type 1 conditional" is used to refer to the present or future when the situation is real. Type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable outcome.In these sentences, the "if" clause adopts the "simple present" and the main proposition the "simple future".

If + imple present+ simple future
If this thing happens that thing will happen. - 3"Type 2 conditional" is used to refer to a time that can be now or at any time and a situation that is not real.In these sentences, the "if" proposition adopts the "simple past" and the main clause the "present conditional".
