This document discusses the structures and uses of zero, first, second, and third conditional sentences in English. Zero conditionals use the present simple to talk about generally true facts (e.g. "If water boils, it evaporates"). First conditionals use the present simple and will + infinitive to talk about possible future conditions and results (e.g. "If you come this weekend, we will go to the cinema"). Second conditionals use the past simple and would + infinitive to talk about unlikely present or future conditions and results (e.g. "If I won the lottery, I would travel"). Third conditionals use the past perfect and would have + past participle to talk about imaginary past conditions
