If clause conditional sentences

Conditional Sentences
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.

Conditional Sentence Type 1
It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.
Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don't use a comma.

 It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.
