Conditionals

The document discusses different types of conditional sentences in English. It explains that conditional sentences have two parts: the if-clause which states the condition, and the main clause which states the result. There are four patterns of conditional sentences: zero conditional for facts, first conditional for possible future events, second conditional for unlikely events, and third conditional for regretful past events. Each pattern uses different verb tenses in the if-clause and main clause. Examples are provided to illustrate each pattern of conditional sentence.
