Conditionals - Third Conditional

Conditional clauses are used to express hypothetical or imagined situations, and they often consist of an "if" clause (the condition) and a main clause (the result).

Zero Conditional (Present Real Conditional):

Used to express general truths, facts, or habits that are always true. Structure: =IF V + V= Example: If you heat ice, it melts.

First Conditional (Present Unreal Conditional):

Used to talk about possible future situations and their likely outcomes. Structure: =IF V + WILL V= Example: If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.

Second Conditional (Past Unreal Conditional):

Used to talk about hypothetical or unlikely situations in the present or future. Structure: =IF V2 + WOULD V= Example: If I won the lottery, I would buy a house.

Third Conditional (Past Unreal Conditional):

Used to talk about hypothetical situations in the past and their unrealized outcomes. Structure: =IF HAD V3 + WOULD HAVE V3= Example: If she had studied harder, she would have passed the exam.
