What are conditional sentences?

What form of the verb is used in the main clause if the if clause is in past perfect tense?
A sentence that contains a condition is called a conditional sentence. There are two parts in a conditional sentence: the main clause and the if clause.
if clause main clause
simple present will/shall/ can/ may + verb
We may also use unless in place of if (unless = if…not).
Sometimes, it’s possible to use the simple present tense in both the clauses.
