Conditionals

and other stuff.

CONDITIONALS:
What are conditionals in English grammar?
Sometimes we call them 'if clauses'. They describe the
result of something that might happen (in the present or
future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past) .
They are made using different English verb tenses.

SIMPLE PRESENT

Here's the positive form (positive means a normal sentence, not
a negative or a question. This is sometimes called affirmative').

use it whenever we want to talk about the

action or time.
