CONDITIONAL SENTENCE DEFINITION Conditional tenses are used to speculate about what could happen, what might have happened, and what we wish would happen. In English, most sentences using the conditional contain the word  if . Many conditional forms in English are used in sentences that include verbs in one of the past tenses. This usage is referred to as  "the unreal past"  because we use a past tense but we are not actually referring to something that happened in the past.
