In general, the standard EFL grammars have divided the conditional mode in English into 3 types on the basis of both syntax and semantics:

(It was not simply done to encourage students to learn the ordinals from 1st-3rd :)

  • The first conditional = can, will, may, shall
  • The second conditional = could, would, should, might V
  • The third conditional = primarily coulda', woulda', shoulda' (and mighta') Ved
