 Conditional are sentences that express causes and their re. sults.
o You can use conditional sentences with If to talk about causes and results.
o If is a conjunction used to say that one thing can, will o might happen or be true depending on
another thing happening or being true.
o The two situations, causes and results, can come in any order. In written English when the
conditional part, the cause, comes first, you put a comma between this part and the result part.
 Commas with Conditional Sentences.
o Use a comma when the If part of the sentences is at the beginning.
o Type 0 conditional are used to express a general truth or a scientific fact. In this type of conditional
we can use when instead of if.
