Conditional sentences have two parts:
1. If-clause
2. Main clause
In the sentence - If you walk fast, you will get there in time.
If you walk fast is the if-clause
and you will get there in time is the Main Clause.
There are three kinds of conditionals.
Each kind contains a different tense pattern and expresses a different shade of meaning.
Type 1 ➡️ Open condition ▶️
The Simple Present is used in the if-clause and will shall/can/may + first form of the verb in the main clause.
