Conditional Clauses are use to express conditions and are introduced by the subordinating element IF ( Si ): Ex: If you buy those sweets, you will not eat your lunch. You will not eat your lunch if you buy those sweets. NOTE: Remember that if you start a sentence with the subordinated clause ( if clause ), you MUST write a COMMA ( , )before the main clause to indicate where this clause starts.

Type 1: Probable

Type 2: Improbable
