First and Second Conditional

What is Conditional ?

Conditionals are structures in English that

establish what will happen if a certain event
takes place or if a certain action is
performed. This means that if a certain
condition is true, a certain result occurs.

There are four types of commonly used

conditionals in the English language that are
differentiated on the basis of the degree of
possibility implied by each of them.
