The Conditionals


2.
What do I know about conditionals?

I understand that a conditional is the union of two sentences, where the first one begins with the word "if", and the next one is the consequence about that first sentence.

What would I like to know about this topic?

I would like to know if there is some characteristic else in order to recognize better when I have a conditional.
On the other hand I would like to know in what cases can I use a conditional.
In a general vision, I want to know all about that, because always is a good job to learn as much as I can.

3. After I saw the video:

What is a conditional?

A conditional are two sentences, separated by a comma, when one of them begins with "If".

When do we use a conditional?

When we want to tell something with a condition, or maybe talk about something that didn´t pass.

How many types of conditionals are there?

- Zero conditional: When something that is always true.
- First conditional: Present or future situation that is very probably that happens.
- Second conditional: A situation with less or zero probability.
- Third conditional: A past situation, zero possibility.
