Conditional Sentence Type 1

The document summarizes three types of conditional sentences in English. Type 1 uses "if + present, will-future" and implies a possible and likely condition. Type 2 uses "if + past, conditional I" and implies a possible but unlikely condition. Type 3 uses "if + past perfect, conditional II" and implies an impossible condition referring to the past. It then provides examples of each type and two tasks - the first with examples to complete and the second with conditional sentences to identify as Type I or II and complete.
