1 answer

The four conditional tenses are first conditional, second conditional, third conditional, and zero conditional.

1. First conditional: It is used to talk about possible future events or outcomes that are likely to happen. It consists of an if- clause in the present simple tense and a main clause in the future simple tense.

2. Second conditional: It is used to talk about imaginary or hypothetical situations in the present or future. It consists of an if-clause in the past simple tense and a main clause in the conditional (would + base form) tense.

3. Third conditional: It is used to talk about imaginary or hypothetical situations in the past that did not happen. It consists of an if-clause in the past perfect tense and a main clause in the past perfect conditional (would have + past participle) tense.

4. Zero conditional: It is used to talk about general truths, habits, or scientific facts. It consists of an if-clause and a main clause in the present simple tense.
