Help Detective Paws (a very suspicious golden retriever) complete his investigation report about the missing kitchen sausages. Select ALL the grammatically correct conditional sentences he can use to build his theories.
The correct answers are If the cat knows about the sausages, she will try to steal them. and If the cat knew about the sausages, she would try to steal them.
Detective Paws can use the first conditional (If + present, will + infinitive) to describe a real, possible future situation. He can also use the second conditional (If + past, would + infinitive) to describe an unreal or unlikely hypothetical situation. Mixing the two halves (present with "would" or past with "will") is grammatically incorrect for these basic conditional structures.
