🌿 The 4 Conditional Types
1️⃣ Zero Conditional (Facts)
• Structure: If + present, present
• Example: "If you heat ice, it melts."
2️⃣ First Conditional (Real Future)
• Structure: If + present, will + verb
• Example: "If it rains, we will cancel the picnic."
3️⃣ Second Conditional (Unreal Present)
• Structure: If + past, would + verb
• Example: "If I won the lottery, I would travel forever."
4️⃣ Third Conditional (Unreal Past)
• Structure: If + past perfect, would have + past participle
• Example: "If you had studied, you would have passed."
💡 Pro Tip: Use "were" instead of "was" in Second Conditional ("If I were you...") for formal correctness.
