CONDITIONALS

WHAT? Conditionals are sentence structures that explain a particular situation or circumstance and its consequences.

If this happens, then that happens.

FORM? If the sentence starts with the ‘if clause’, you add a comma between the ‘if clause’ and the ‘main clause’. 

If you are sick , you should go home
