If Clause / Conditional Sentence
There are three types of conditional sentences in English. A conditional sentence uses an if-clause to express that the action in the main clause can only occur if the condition in the if-clause is met. The three types are: first conditional refers to present or future situations with an open condition; second conditional refers to unreal or improbable present situations using past tense; third conditional refers to unreal past situations using past perfect tense. Conditional sentences have an if-clause and main clause, with the if-clause expressing the condition and main clause expressing the possible result.
