Conditionals are used to talk about real or hypothetical situations that depend on another action or condition. There are four types of conditionals in English: zero conditional for facts, first conditional for future likelihoods, second conditional for unreal present or unlikely future possibilities, and third conditional for unreal past situations. Each conditional has a specific structure using tenses like present simple, future simple, past simple, and past perfect to express the condition and corresponding result.

2. What are the conditionals?
Conditionals are used to talk about real
or unreal situations. The use of conditional
means that one action depends on another.
the conditional phrases carry the word "if".
Keep in mind that there is no verbal
time for the conditional in English as it exists
in Spanish. At the same time, the auxiliary
verb "would" is used to form the conditional
in English.
