Connect All Tenses in Conditionals

Most of the learners are confused about conditionals in English. Especially, third conditional, second conditional and first conditional sentences. They mostly use if but we can also use when, until or unless etc. as we put conditions while having a conversation with our fellows. “If clauses” are not hard in English. They only get hard when the learners get into the terminologies. Lets try to understand it differently by connecting tenses.
