Conditional Sentences

Conditional sentences are used to express hypothetical situations or possibilities.
They are formed using "if" clauses and main clauses.
Different conditional sentences express different degrees of possibility and time.

Mixed Conditional

Used when a hypothetical situation in the past could have changed a decision or consequence in the past.
This combination uses the past perfect in the if clause, and the conditional in the main clause.
Example: "If I had known that you were coming, I would have stayed at home."

Second Conditional

Used to express hypothetical situations in the present or for things that are improbable.
This combination uses the past simple in the if clause and would, could, or might + the infinitive in the main clause.
Example: "If I won the lottery, I would travel the world."

Third Conditional

Used to express hypothetical situations about something that happened in the past and can't be changed in the present.
This combination uses the past perfect in both clauses.
Example: "If I had gotten there earlier, I would have seen the show."
