Conditional sentences use the word, if. These are a few examples of conditional sentences:
The "zero" conditional sentence uses the simple present tense in the subordinate clause and the main clause, eg, "If the sun sets(subordinate clause), it is night. (main clause)"
One type of conditional sentence uses the simple present tense in the subordinate clause and the simple future tense in the main clause, eg, "If you do not come home in time, you will be punished."
Another type of conditional sentence uses the simple past tense in the subordinate clause and the present conditional in the main clause, eg, "If you studied, you would get a good result."
If a conditional sentence uses the past perfect tense in the subordinate clause, then the perfect conditional tense is used in the main clause, eg, "If I had studied drama, I would have become an actor."
