Zero, First, Second, and Third Conditionals

English conditionals allow us to express everything from scientific facts to wild daydreams and deep regrets. The structure you choose changes the meaning entirely based on how real or likely the situation is. For example, we use the zero conditional for universal truths ("If you heat ice, it melts") and the third conditional for impossible past changes ("If we had packed the tent, we wouldn't have slept in a bat cave").

In this challenge, you will practice forming all four types of conditional sentences. You'll help a dramatic chemistry teacher establish lab safety rules, peek into a student's daydream about winning the lottery, review a clumsy thief's botched bank robbery, and complete a time-traveler's survival guide.

You will navigate through 13 questions featuring a mix of single-choice, multi-choice, drag-and-drop, and drop-down formats to master these hypothetical structures.
