 WHAT IS IT

A zero conditional gives a fact, a rule or a true situation. One

thing follows the other. Its construction is:

If + subject + simple present tense verb … subject + simple present

tense verb

Examples: If you combine carrots with cucumber, you create a

heterogeneous mixture.

If he drinks antibiotics, it kills bacteria.

A first conditional contains two future events. One

depends on another. Its construction is:

If + subject + simple present tense verb… subject + simple future tense

verb

Examples: If you save money, you will be rich.

If you plant trees, they will produce fruits after few years.

A second conditional provides an unreal, impossible, or

unlikely condition which is in the present or the future. Its construction
is:

If + subject + simple past tense verb… subject + would + infinitive

without to

Examples: If I loved him, I would follow him.

If he stopped his vice, he would avoid an illness.

A third conditional presents a past result of a condition.

But it did not happen in the past. Its construction is:

If + subject + past perfect tense verb… subject + would have,

could have, or might have + past participle

Examples: If I had seen you first, I would not have loved him.

If he had saved much money, he could have helped his sick girlfriend.
