Let’s look at those four example sentences again in this chart. They represent the four types of conditional sentences you’ll study & practice in this tutorial. These four types have a variety of names. The 1 st type is called the Zero Conditional or Present Real Conditional. It‘s used to describe facts & habits, or real situations. The present tense is used in both clauses. The next type is called the 1 st Conditional, or Future Real Conditional. It is also used to describe real situations. The present tense is used in the if-clause, but the future tense is used in the main clause. The third type is called the 2 nd Conditional, or Present & Future Unreal Conditional. It is used to describe imaginary situations, situations that aren’t really truly happening now and that probably won’t happen in the future. Notice that even though you use this type of conditional sentence to talk about the present or future, we use the simple past tense in the if-clause. Strange, isn’t it? We also use the modal verb would plus the simple form of the main verb in the independent clause. The final type is called the 3 rd Conditional, or Past Unreal Conditional. It’s used to talk about past situations that did not actually happen. We’re just imagining a different situation from what really did happen in the past. The past perfect is used in the if-clause, and would have plus the past participle is used in the main clause. That’s a quick summary. Now, are you ready to learn more about each of these 4 types of conditional? When you’re ready to start part 1, please click on the words “Part 1” in the navigation menu to the left of this screen.
