Conditionals https://getbetterenglish.wixsite.com/getbetterenglishnow/post/conditionals

All conditional sentences have two parts: an if clause and a result clause.

A conditional statement may start with the "if clause" or it may begin with the "result clause".

If you decide to begin with the "if clause", you must a comma after the "if clause".

All conditional sentences, except the "Zero conditional", talk about hypothetical situations.

0 Conditional

This states a fact. Under certain conditions (the "if clause"), something else is true.

If you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius, the water boils.

Water boils, if you heat the water to 100 degrees.

Remember with all conditional sentences it does not matter the order of the clauses.

Zero conditional

If clause: simple present

Result clause: simple present

First Conditional

If I speak and write correctly, it will be easier for people to understand me.

We use this to talk about a very likely future. Under the conditions described in the "if clause", the results in the "result clause" are very likely to happen.

First conditional

If clause: simple present

Result clause: simple future

Second Conditional

If I lived with my brother, I would have greater peace of mind.

Second conditional

If clause: simple past

Result clause: would have + infinitive without "to"

We use this to talk about a very unlikely future because the required circumstance or condition in the "if clause" is very unlikely to happen.

Third Conditional (would have)

We use this to talk about an impossible future. It is impossible because we cannot go back into the past and change the conditions.

If I had seen my face up close a few years ago, I would have started to use anti-aging concoctions and devices sooner

Third Conditional

If clause: past perfect

Result clause: would + present perfect
