There are several types of conditional sentences, their use depends on the function of the sentence.  Basically, conditional sentences consist of 2 clauses, if clause and main clause.  The tenses of the two clauses can change based on the type of conditional sentence that will be used.

Conditional Type 0

 This conditional sentence is used to describe general facts or truths that are certain.  For example, if you heat water, it will boil.

Conditional Type 1

 Conditional type 1 is used to describe situations that might or presumably occur in the future and are highly likely to actually occur.

Conditional Type 2

 conditional type 2 is used to describe situations that are unrealistic or have very little chance of happening.  For example, imagine something that is not possible or daydream.

Conditional Type 3

 conditional type 3 is used to refer to the past and suppose how the current situation could be different if what happened in the past is different.
