Conditionals are used
to speculate about what might happen, what may have happened, and what we would
like to happen. In English, most sentences that use conditional tense contain
the term "if". Many of the conditional constructions of English are
used in sentences that include verbs in the past. This use is called "the
unreal past" because we use a past verb tense but we are not referring to
something that has actually happened. There are five main ways to construct
conditional sentences in English. In all cases, they consist of a proposition
or clause with "if" and a main proposition. In many negative
conditional sentences there is an equivalent alternative construction that uses
"unless" instead of "if".
