The document describes three types of conditional sentences in English. Type 1 uses conditions that are real or probable, such as "if I get a good job, I'll buy a motorbike." Type 2 uses unreal or improbable conditions, like "if I were rich, I'd buy a castle in France." Type 3 describes impossible conditions using the past perfect tense, for example "if you had bought that magazine, you'd have learnt a lot about soul music."
