Do you know that conditional sentences are sentences that express something dependent on something else? This would be like, “If it snows, the school will be canceled. ” The influence of the major clause of the sentence is conditional on the dependent clause. A full conditional sentence contains two clauses, including the antecedent and the consequent, and different languages have distinct rules concerning conditional sentences. This quiz is unconditionally grammatically minded.
