first conditional

[azainab]

hi,
I just want to see if I'm clear about it form and meaning. Using superstitions

If you see a black cat, you will have good luck.

is it: may be i'll have good luck-thats possible.

I'm I wrong?

That's right, Zainab-- but in my culture, black cats are bad luck!

And 2nd conditional-- If you saw a black cat, you'd have bad luck (but you are not likely to see one).
And 3rd conditional-- If you had seen a black cat, you would've had bad luck (but you didn't see one).
