Conditional sentences are natural language sentences that express that one thing is contingent on something else, e.g. 'If it rains, the picnic will be ______.'

A full conditional thus contains two clauses: a dependent clause called the antecedent (or protasis or ______), which expresses the condition, and a main clause called the consequent (or apodosis or then-clause) expressing the result.

The forms of verbs used in the antecedent and consequent are often subject to particular rules as regards their tense, aspect, and ______.

Many languages have a specialized type of verb form called the conditional ______ – broadly equivalent in meaning to the English 'would (do something)' – for use in some types of conditional sentences.

A conditional sentence expressing an implication (also called a factual conditional sentence) essentially states that if one fact holds, then so does ______.
