    This document summarizes different types of conditional sentences: 1. Factual conditional sentences use simple present, past, or future tense to describe real conditional situations in the present, past, or future. 2. Unreal conditional sentences with a present condition use past tense "would" to talk about improbable present situations. 3. Unreal conditional sentences with a past condition use past perfect tense followed by "would have" to discuss improbable past situations. Additional information is provided on tense, modal use, progressive forms, and contrary to fact conditions. Examples are given to illustrate each type of conditional sentence.

Would expresses a definite intention, whereas could expresses a possibility or an ability and might expresses a possibility 3. Progressive forms can be used in both clauses 4.
