Summary on Conditionals

Dear Students

I want to share with you a summary on  Conditionals. It was taken from: Fuchs, M. and Bonner, M. (2000). Focus on Grammar. A high-Intermediate course for reference and practice. NY: Addison Wesley Longman, Inc.

The idea is to print it and have it as a reference to do the exercise on Conditionals.

Now the exercise on Conditionals.
