Zero conditional

first conditional

second conditional

third conditional

You have learned 3 types of condtionals. Zero conditional: general truth. First conditional: to describe what is possible/likely in the present or future. Second conditional;talk about sth that is very unlikely to happen in the fure. Third cond: to describe sth in the past that could have happend but it didn’t, or that should haven’t happend but did. These types of conditionals are fantastic and they talk about events in their own time frame: Present, future, and past.
