The facts they are based on are the opposite of what is expressed. In a Type 3 conditional sentence, the tense in the ‘if’ clause is the past perfect, and the tense in the main clause is the perfect conditional The structure is : if + past perfect, would/should/could/might + have + past participle. As in all conditional sentences, the order of the clauses is not fixed. You may have to adjust pronouns and punctuation marks when changing clause order, but the meaning is the same.

  Conditional sentence type 2 Second conditional sentencesis a type of conditional sentence used when the result or consequence has little hope of being realized even though it is unlikely.  So it can be said that this second type of conditional sentence does not necessarily happen but it can also become a reality.  In this sentence form the formula used is if + simple past / were, would / could / might + bare infinitive.   The use of would / could / might serves to explain how big a condition will be.  Example   If I inherited a billion dollars, I would travel to the moon. If I owned a zoo, I might let people interact with the animals more. If I were you, I would continue my study. If I had time, I would go with you. If she met her mother, she would be very happy. If it rained tomorrow, I would sleep all day. If I were you, I’d tell him the truth.

 Conditional sentence type 1  A first conditional sentence is a form of conditional sentence used when the result or consequence is likely to occur in the future.  This can happen because there are realistic conditions that make sense for the possibility to occur.  Therefore, the sentence form of this first type of conditional sentence has the form of a simple future sentence, aka the sentence that will come.   The formula for this sentence is: if + simple present, simple future "will" / imperative  more example;   If I meet him, I will introduce myself.  I will cook dinner tonight if you clean the house.  If you rest, you will feel better.  If you set your mind to a goal, you will eventually achieve it.  If it rains, I will stay at home.  If he gives her chocolate, she will be happy.  If it doesn't rain, we will go to the library.
