Conditionals; namely, Present Conditional and Zero Conditional

Can someone define these for me please and/or give examples? Also and more importantly what is the difference between ZERO CONDITIONAL and PRESENT CONDITIONAL? Are these two the same or completely different?


    1. Present Conditional

    2. First Conditional

    3. Second Conditional

    4. Third Conditional

    I only know there are four "typical structures": If you are over 18, you can drink as much as you want. If tomorrow is nice, I'll go for a walk. If I had a lot of money, I would buy lots of cars.

    • If I had seen Mary, I would have asked her about Tom.
    • I think they call them zero, first, second, and third conditional respectively.
