    There are three types of conditionals: real conditionals, unreal conditionals, and third conditionals. Real conditionals refer to possible present or future events. Unreal conditionals, also called second conditionals, refer to imaginary or unlikely situations. Third conditionals refer to regrets about the past and things that cannot be changed. Each conditional has a specific grammatical structure using combinations of tenses like simple present, future, past perfect, and modal verbs. Conditionals are used to discuss hypothetical scenarios and their possible outcomes.
