Conditionals
Learn how English expresses facts, possibilities, choices, consequences and imagined situations using conditional structures.
Explore possibilities
Conditionals help us describe what is true, what could happen and what might have happened.
From everyday conversations to academic writing, conditional sentences allow us to discuss choices, consequences, predictions, advice and imaginary situations with clarity and precision.
Once you understand the purpose of each conditional, you’ll find them far easier to recognise and use naturally.

Think beyond formulas
Focus on meaning before memorising structures.
Instead of remembering conditional formulas, begin by asking what the speaker is trying to express. Once the meaning is clear, choosing the correct conditional becomes much more natural.
