CONDITIONAL SENTENCES 0, 1, 2
0 Conditional
We use 0 conditional for general truths, things that always happen.
If + present simple, present simple.
Example: If you heat water, it boils. OR Water boils if you heat it.
CONDITIONAL 1
We use coditional 1 for "real" or "possible" situations.
If + present simple, will + infinitive.
Example: If I win a lottery, I'll take a gap year OR I'll take a gap year if I win a lottery.
CONDITIONAL 2
We use conditional 2 for "unreal" situation. They can be more or less probable, but it is not something the author is sure about. Let's see what they look like and some examples.
If + past simple, would + infinitive.
If I went to New York, I would visit the Yankees Stadium OR I would visit the YS if I went to NY.
(It will be more or less likely depending on your likings and money.)
BUT
If I were invisible, I would ....... OR If I could choose a superpower, I would .....
(This is rather unlikely to happen)
