First and Second Conditionals
 
 
 
 First Conditional (Real Conditional):        
 
We use the first conditional to express the result of a possible condition. We are considering  the possibility seriously; we think this can happen really.
 
 If    + subject  + present simple, subject     +   will ('ll) + infinitive
 Subject   +  will ('ll)   + infinitive if     + subject   + present simple
 
If it rains at the weekend, we will go to the cinema      -      We will go to the cinema if it rains at the weekend 
 
Second Conditional (Unreal/Hypothetical Conditional):
 
We use the second conditional to express the result of an imaginary condition. We are only imagining the situation: we don't think it is going to happen, or the reality is different from the situation.
 
 If    + subject   +   past simple, subject   + would ('d)     + infinitive
 Subject    +    would ('d)   +  infinitive if     +    subject   + past simple
