Conditionals

The most common kind of conditional sentence that you are likely to meet will contain two clauses, one which will start with the word "IF".

For example, If it rains, we’ll have to stay at home.

The clause without the "IF" is the main clause of the sentence, while the if clause is subordinate. The order of the two clauses is generally not that important to the meaning of the sentence; so we can switch the if clause to the end of the sentence if we want to.

Conditional sentences are divided into 3 groups. Here, we are focusing more on Conditonals 2
