Hi Torsten!
I often have a problem with conditional sentences.
I have read your answer about conditiopnal 1.
Tell us please about other ( conditional2 and conditional3)
I often confuse them. I read about conditional but I often confuse them and I have no clarity of this thing.
Thank you in advance

Hi Spiderman,

The best way to learn the conditionals is to read as many sample sentences and repeat them (read them out loud first and then try to say them out of memory.) Ask yourself this question: How did a native speaker of English learn to use the conditionals properly? The answer: the heard those sentences over and over again until their subconscious mind picked the patterns up.

Also, when you read a book in English you can try to analyze the use of the conditionals and with a little practice you will realize that there is a very limited number of possible constructions and soon you will be able to use them properly too.

Here are very good resources containing valuable information about the Conditionals and Subjunctive.

Thank you Torsten. These artickles don't help me. Слишком уж* навороченные* они.
I prefer to read grammatical explanation. I must confess you can explain rather good.
