A fourth round of practice with real, unreal and past-unreal situations
All three conditionals talk about if-situations and their results, but each one is anchored in a different kind of reality: things that really happen, things we're imagining, and things that are already too late to change.
Used for realistic future possibilities and their likely results.
"If the shop restocks tomorrow, I'll buy the jacket."
Used for hypothetical, unlikely or imaginary present/future situations.
"If I ran my own company, I would offer remote working."
Used for imagining a different past — it's too late for the situation to change.
"If I had set my alarm, I wouldn't have overslept."
Tip: the if-clause can come first or second ("If the shop restocks tomorrow, I'll buy it" / "I'll buy it if the shop restocks tomorrow") — the meaning doesn't change, only the comma.
