There are four types of conditional sentences in English. The document focuses on the zero conditional and first conditional. The zero conditional describes situations that are always true using the present simple tense in both clauses, such as "If I go to school, I get up at seven." The first conditional is used to speculate about possible future situations and uses "if" clauses with the present tense and main clauses with "will" plus the infinitive verb, such as "If he studies hard, he'll pass the exams." Examples are provided for both types of conditional sentences.
