The document outlines the structure of conditional sentences in English grammar. It shows that there are four types of conditional sentences (zero, first, second, third conditional) which differ based on the tense used in the main and if clauses. The zero conditional uses present simple in both clauses to describe general truths. The first conditional uses future simple in the main clause for possible future events and present simple in the if clause. The second and third conditionals refer to unlikely or hypothetical events using different verb forms in the main and if clauses depending on whether the condition refers to present or past circumstances.
