Conditionals Ex.1

The document discusses different conditional structures in English: 1) First conditional - used to talk about possible or likely future situations (e.g. "If I finish my homework, I'll go to the cinema"). 2) Second conditional - used to talk about unlikely or imaginary situations (e.g. "If I met Leonardo DiCaprio, I'd ask him for his autograph"). 3) Third conditional - used to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations in the past (e.g. "If she had got up earlier, she wouldn't have missed the train").
