CONDITIONAL SENTENCES WITH MODAL VERBS

Conditional sentences are used when we want to make a prediction about what might happen, would happen, or what we would like to happen. In English, most conditional sentences contain the word if. Many conditional sentences in English use a past tense verb. This usage is referred to as the "unreal past" because we are using the past tense but are not implying that something happened in the past. There are five ways to form conditional sentence types in English. Each of these sentence types will always consist of an if clause and a main clause. Many negative conditional sentences have a counterpart in the equivalent sentence structure of using "unless" instead of "if".

Conditionals in English are a type of sentence that express hypothetical, real, or possible events. Conditionals in English are divided into different types, and each of them has its own rules of formation and use.

But first, you need to put on the shelves what each type of Conditionals looks like and in what cases they are used.
