1. Second Conditional

   • It is used to present unreal ideas of the present or actions in the future that are unlikely.
     • If + Condition (sentence with verb conjugated in past simple) + would + Result (sentence with verb in infinitive).
       • Example: You would speak Japanese if you lived in Japan

2. First Conditional

   • Is used to present situations in the future whose realisation is very probable. Therefore, it is the conditional suitable for expressing plans.
     • If + Condition (sentence with verb conjugated in present simple) + will + Result (sentence with verb in infinitive).
       • Example: We may rent it if we like the apartment

3. Third Conditional

   • It is the type of sentence most closely related to the Spanish subjunctive.
     • If + Condition (sentence with verb conjugated in past perfect) + would have + Result (sentence with verb conjugated in past).
       • Example: If I had studied medicine, I would have been a surgeon today
