1. Type 0 conditional talks about something that is certain to happen at any time; results
that are always the same(in the past, present and future)and never change/facts.
If present simple, present simple.
NOTE: In this conditional we can replace "if" with "when/whenever".
We can also use imperative in the result clause. Always true
e.g. People are respected if/when they do their work well. Never changes
If/When you boil water, it turns into steam.
2. Type 1 conditional talks about something that will probably/may happen in the
future/possibilities.
If present simple, will/can/may/could/might/going to + inf. (Note: "would, couldn't"
can never be used)
If I finish work early, I'll call you. In first conditional sentences, the structure is usually:
if + present simple >> will + infinitive. It is also common to use this structure with
unless, as long as, as soon as or in case instead of if. Specific situation
Unless = if.. not May(not) happen

e.g. If you choose the right subjects, they will carry you towards the right career.
We'll miss the bus if we don't hurry.
NOTE: In this conditional we can leave out "If you" and use "and" to join the two
clauses. "If you" goes and "and" joins.
e.g. Choose badly, and you will become bored and do badly.
Do as I say, and I'll help you to win the race.
3. Type 2 conditional talk about things that we only imagine happening/hypotheses not
possible/likely now. They are "unreal". low probability of the verb in the "if clause".
If past simple, would/could/might + inf. Hypothetical
Advice
e.g. If you lived in Germany or France, it would be different.
I would buy this mobile if I were you.
NOTE: In this conditional we always use "were" not "was" if the verb in the "if clause"
is "be".

1. Type 3 conditional expresses a past event that (did not) happened/to express
regret/criticism. Improbability of the verb in the "if clause".
Impossible
If past perfect, would/could/might have + p.p. Regret/criticism
e.g. If you had been born in 1700, you would not have had any education.
They wouldn't have lost the match if they had just listened to me.
NOTE: In this conditional, the conditional idea can be broken into two sentences by
adding "what" before "if" and ending the clause with a question mark.
e.g. What if you had been born in 1900? You would have had more choices.
In this conditional, the if idea may be understood and not stated.
In this case, the if idea is in the question at the start of the paragraph. All the other
(would have) sentences in the paragraph are replies to the question.
e.g. (If you had been born in 1900,) you would have been able to travel by train.

Note: In this conditional, Usually one clause is in the negative.

e.g. If I had listened to him, I would have kept my position.

If I hadn't listened to him, I would have kept my position.

If I hadn't listened to him, I wouldn't have lost my position.

NOTE: In All Conditionals, the "if clause" can come before the result clause (with a
comma in between) or after it (without commas).
Extra Examples:
1. If you heat ice, it melts.
2. If demand rises, price rises too.
3. It is easier to relax if you close your eyes.
