3. If it was too subtle, it will now at least stick in your mind; which is itself a pedagogic plus.

OK, thanks. That's "what" part answered, now the "why"?

As I say, I wouldn't use the "three types + zero" system myself. But I've noticed that ESL students often reach a stage where they say "But what type is this?"; and the if-statement they then produce is often concessive, rather than conditional.

I'm assuming by the way that the so-called mixed conditionals will have already been covered, under the 3 + 0 system.
