Conditional Statements
Use clear if-then constructions to build logical arguments.
What it is
Before & after
“Tense mismatch: "If we would have planned better, we will succeed" (mixed conditionals)”
“Consistent tenses: "If we had planned better, we would have succeeded" (third conditional)”
When you’ll use it
Strategic planning: "If we increase marketing spend, then sales will grow" (first conditional - likely)
Risk assessment: "If the project were delayed, we would miss the deadline" (second conditional - hypothetical)
Policy implementation: "If employees had received training, mistakes would have been avoided" (third conditional - past hypothetical)
Performance agreements: "If targets are met, bonuses will be awarded" (zero conditional - general truth)
Pro tip
Make the condition and consequence explicit for stronger logic.
