Conditional Sentences

Conditional Sentences | Definition:

Formal Definition Is - "A Word Showing Term Without Fulfilling It Result Is Impossible"

Definition - Explaination:

So what does it means? i know you are asking yourself please don't worry because iam here to make you understand in a very easy manner. so in order to understand this defintion you need to see the examples sentences
Example Sentence : 1 - "If you eat balance diet . You may gain muscles" Let's say my friend wants to get a body like a bodybuilder so he asks me "Bro tell me what do because i go to gym everyday but despite the fact iam not gaining muscles" so i tell him one term which will for sure make him more muscular that is - "If you eat balance diet . You may gain muscles" - So as you can see In this sentence " If you eat balance diet " ← Is the condition/Term why because if he does not get enough nutrition he will never be able to gain muscles. so in order to look like a bodybuilder he has to fulfill this term
Example Sentence : 2 "If The Flowers Don’t Get Water - They Fade" In this example "If the flowers don’t get water" ← it is showing the term or condition which in this case is water and if we don't fullfill this condition means don't give water the flower will be Fade / die
Example Sentence : 3 "If She Studies Well , She Will Get A Good Job" In this sentence "If she studies well" ← Is the Term because if she does not fulfill this Term which is "studying well" then she will not be able to get a good job

The Word - "IF"

It is not possible to make any kind of conditional sentences without using the word "If" because is like salt in our food as you know without salt no matter what how rest of the other things are but in the end they are tasteless. so same but the word "IF" it is very important to use and you can see the importance of this word by this that we put this word at the starting of every sentence.
