A conditional sentence expresses a condition (often introduced by “if”) and a result (the consequence of that condition being fulfilled). Essentially, it’s an “if-then” statement: if something happens or had happened, then something else will or would occur.
What are conditional sentences in English? Conditionals or conditional sentences refer to a sentence that has two clauses: if clause (condition) and result clause.
Conditional sentences are used to express hypothetical situations and their possible outcomes. These sentences consist of an "if" clause (the condition) and a main clause (the result).
Conditional sentences have two parts: the if-clause and the main clause. Example sentence: If it rains, I will cancel the trip. If it rains is the if-clause and I will cancel the trip is the main clause. The IF-clause introduces a condition. The main clause is the result of that condition.
