Some rules about conditionals:

1. Conditionals consist of two parts:
   a. main clause
   b. sub-clause (starts with if )
2. will or would are NEVER used in the main clause
3. Verb tenses must match --> conditionals are like a puzzle :)

• Zero conditional

 

if sentence	result
present simple	present simple
If you add two and two,	you get four.

General truths and habits 

• First conditional

 

if sentence	result
present simple	will + infinitive

Possible or likely things in the future 

• Second conditional

 

if sentence	result

impossible things in the present, unlikely things in the future
