This document discusses the structure of conditional sentences in Spanish using "if" clauses. It provides examples of conditional sentences following the pattern "If + present tense verb in if clause, present tense verb in main clause," where the main clause expresses a result that occurs if the condition in the if clause happens. Some examples given are "If you heat ice, it melts" and "If it rains, the grass gets wet."
