CONDITIONALS
There are two kinds of conditional sentences: real and unreal.
Real Conditional describes real-life situations. Unreal
Conditional describes unreal, imaginary situations.

[ if + condition + result]
or
[result + if + condition]
This structure can produce, for example, the following sentences:
If I see her, I will tell her.
I will tell her if I see her.
Notice the comma in the first sentence. (A comma is always correct in this case, but not always
essential if the sentence is short.) In the second sentence we do not normally use a comma.
