Conditional sentences

• We use a conditional sentence to say that one event depends on another event—that something can happen only if something else happens first.

• Conditionals sentences have two parts: the if-clause and the main clause. The main clause depends on the if-clause.

• We use different types of conditional sentences to express different levels of probability, or to say how realistic something is.
