Grammar practice: Conditional sentences

To help you practice using conditional sentences, here are some exercises:

We studied conditional sentences last week:

• If you had a million dollars, what would you do?  
• (2nd conditional. Not real, just in your head)
• What will you do if it rains? 
• (1st conditional. More real, it can / will happen)
• If water gets to 100 degrees C, it boils 
• (Zero conditional. Facts about science)
