Combines past and present/unreal scenarios Links a past condition to a present result or a present condition to a past result.

Explanation of Each Conditional Type

  1. Zero Conditional
    • Rule: Used for universal truths, scientific facts, or habitual actions. Both clauses use the present simple.
    • Example Breakdown: “If you heat water” (condition) leads to “it boils” (result), a constant fact.
    • Key Note: No modality (e.g., “will”) is needed as it’s not about possibility but certainty.
  2. First Conditional
    • Rule: Describes real and possible future events. The “if” clause uses present simple, and the result clause uses “will” + base verb.
    • Example Breakdown: “If it rains” (possible condition) leads to “I will stay home” (likely action).
    • Key Note: Modals like “might” or “can” can replace “will” (e.g., “If it rains, I might stay home”).
  3. Second Conditional
    • Rule: Imagines unreal or hypothetical situations in the present or future. Uses past simple in the “if” clause and “would” + base verb in the result clause.
    • Example Breakdown: “If I won” (unreal, as I haven’t won) leads to “I would travel” (hypothetical action).
    • Key Note: “Were” is preferred over “was” for all subjects in formal writing (e.g., “If I were rich”).
  4. Third Conditional
    • Rule: Reflects unreal past situations and their imagined outcomes. Uses past perfect in the “if” clause and “would have” + past participle in the result clause.
    • Example Breakdown: “If I had studied” (I didn’t) leads to “I would have passed” (I didn’t).
    • Key Note: Focuses on regret or hypothetical past results; cannot change the past outcome.
  5. Mixed Conditional
    • Rule: Combines elements of other conditionals to link past conditions to present results or present conditions to past results.
    • Example Breakdown: “If I had saved money” (past) leads to “I would be rich now” (present); or “If I were brave” (present) leads to “I would have fought” (past).
    • Key Note: Flexible structure; choose based on the time frame you want to emphasize.
