something that might happen in the present or future or might have happened but
didn’t in the past. It can be contain a wishes, hopes, plans or something unreal

According to ego4u website Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.
According to estrellamountain website Conditional sentences have two clauses: a condition (if...) and a result. The verb tenses used in each clause depends on whether the speaker thinks the result is probable (real) or only exists in the imagination (unreal).
Conditional Sentences with If
clauses
Zero Conditional
A zero
conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an “if” clause and a main clause.
We use the simple present verb form in each part of a zero conditional.
If + subject + simple present verb, subject + simple present verb
Example:
1.
If it rains, the grass gets wet.
3.
If you mix yellow and red, you get orange.
First Conditional
The first
conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the
other clause.
If + present simple, … will +
infinitive
Example :
1. If
it rains, I won’t go to the park.
2. If
I have enough money, I’ll buy some new clothes.
3. If
I see him, I’ll tell him.
Second Conditional
The second
conditional uses the past simple after if, then 'would' and the infinitive. It
used to talk about 'impossible' situations.
If + past simple, … would + infinitive
Example :
1. If
I won the lottery, I would buy a car.
2. If
I met Arsene Wenger, I would say hello.
3. If
I had her number, I would call her.
Third Conditional
Third
conditional will refers sentences to the past. We make the third conditional by
using the past perfect after 'if' and then 'would have' and the past participle
in the second part of the sentence.
If + past perfect, … would + have +
past participle
Example :
1. If
he hadn’t eaten so much, he wouldn’t felt sick.
2. If
he had studied, he would have passed the exam test.
3. If
she had gone to bed earlier, she wouldn’t have been tired.
Conditional Sentences using a subjunctive “wish”
According to Learning
American and English website conditional sentences those that use
"wish" is to express something isn't true now, or it wasn't true in
the past.
Examples :
I wish I had more money.
(This
describes a present situation. In fact, I don't have more money.)
She wishes he would talk to her
more often.
(This also
describe a present situation. Notice that the modal verb "would" is
used here. "Would" and "could" are frequently used in these
kinds of sentences.)
They wish they hadn't bought that
house.
(This
describes a past situation that can't be changed. They regret their decision,
but you can't change the past. Notice the use of the past perfect after
"wish.")
The differences between conditional if and wish
The difference between condition
if and wish is conditional with –if can still be happened in the real world,
but conditional with –wish is certainly impossible to happen or did not happen.
