Conditionals

There are basically four types of conditional, though combinations of the four are also possible depending on the context.

- Zero Conditional : if + present ==> present

Expresses general thruths and scientific facts. Used to show an evidence, when it's always true.

Ex: If it rains, the sun doesn't shine.

- First Conditional : if + present ==> will + inf.

We use it to make predictions or talk about actions or states that may or may not happen ( likely 50/50)

Ex: If it rains, I'll stay at home.

- Second Conditional : if + past simple ==> would + inf

Refers to actions or states that are not real or unlikely to be real in the future.

Ex: If I won 1,000,000, I would travel

- Third Conditional : if + past perfect ==> would have + past participle

Refers to actions in the past, and can be used to express regrets.

Ex: If you hadn't given me a lift, I would have missed the train.
