0) We talked about the zero conditional, a cause-consequence situation related to a natural fact or scientific truth.

If you put water in the freezer, it becomes ice.

If you touch fire, you get burned.
Babies cry if they are hungry.
If we stay at home, the virus does not spread.

In the zero conditional If + present simple + present simple the result always happens. Therefore, we
can replace the if with when and the meaning is still the same. E.g.: When snakes are scared, they bite (if
snakes are scared they bite)

1) We talked about the first conditional If + present simple + will + infinitive used to talk about things that
may probably happen in the future. Of course we are not 100% sure about what will happen in the end, we are
describing a possible condition and a possible result.

If it rains tomorrow, I will take my umbrella.

If the city is ready, Javkin will activate stage 5.
If you drive without a permit, the police will take your car

2) The second conditional is used for situations that a) are probably not going to happen, because the probabilities
for them to occur are very very little. The second conditional is also used for b) situations that are impossible,
because they are not true.

a) If Javkin announced stage 5 tomorrow, I would make a party to celebrate.

If I won the lottery this weekend, I would change it all into dollars.

b) If I were you, I would exercise more and smoke less

If I had her telephone number, I would call her

The structure for second conditional is then If + past simple + would + infinitive

3) The third conditional is used to talk about an action in the past, that did not happen, and its imaginary results.

If Messi had scored, Argentina would have won.

If the virus hadn’t expanded, normal life would have continued.
If I had been raised in Brazil, I would have learned Portuguese*.
If we had bought a plane ticket for June, we would have lost it.

*here we have a passive voice structure “be raised”

The third conditional is built with If + past perfect + would have + past participle
