What Is Conditional Mood?
Conditional mood is a grammatical mood used to express a hypothetical or uncertain situation, often dependent on a certain condition or circumstance.
If he eats too much, he gains weight soon.
Structure
Sentences in the conditional mood normally have two clauses: the main clause and a subordinate clause containing the word 'if.'
If it doesn't rain, we'll go to the park.
'If it doesn't rain' is dependent to the main clause.
If I had a son, I would name him Johnathan.
Conditionals: Types
There are different types of conditional sentences:
Zero Conditional
This type of conditional sentence expresses a general truth or fact that always happens when the condition is met. For example:
If you heat ice, it melts.
Conditional type I
This type of conditional sentence expresses a possible future situation that may happen if the condition is met. For example
If it rains tomorrow, I will stay home.
Conditional type II
This type of conditional sentence expresses an unlikely or imaginary situation that is unlikely to happen in the future. For example:
If I won the lottery, I would buy a house.
Conditional type III
This type of conditional sentence expresses a hypothetical situation that did not happen in the past. For example:
If I had studied harder, I would have passed the exam.
