    The type 1 conditional is used to refer to the present or future where the situation is real. The
    type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. In these sentences the if
    clause is in the simple present, and the main clause is in the simple future.

    If clause Main clause

    Type 2 conditional
    The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a time that is now or any time, and a situation that
    is unreal. These sentences are not based on fact. The type 2 conditional is used to refer to a
    hypothetical condition and its probable result. In type 2 conditional sentences, the if clause uses
    the simple past, and the main clause uses the present conditional.

    is contrary to reality. The facts they are based on are the opposite of what is expressed. The
    type 3 conditional is used to refer to an unreal past condition and its probable past result. In type
    3 conditional sentences, the if clause uses the past perfect, and the main clause uses the perfect
    conditional.
