Conditional

The Zero Conditional

The First Conditional

The Second Conditional

A conditional sentence is based on the word ‘if’. There are always two parts to a conditional sentence – one part beginning with ‘if’ to describe a possible situation, and the second part which describes the consequence

We use the zero conditional to talk about permanent truths, such as scientific facts, and general habits.

We use the first conditional to talk about a realistic situation in the present or future

We use the second conditional to talk about improbable or impossible situations in the present or future.
