main types of conditionals are: Type 0, Type 1, clause, then no comma is necessary.
Type 2 and Type 3. e g. If the weather is good tomorrow, we will go to the beach.

clause (hypothesis) and the main clause (result). Main clause if clause

Note: Type 1 and Type 2 Conditionals refer to the present or the future. The use of Type 2
Conditionals suggests that the situation is less probable, impossible, or imaginary. Compare the
examples:
e.g. a) If I meet Brad Pitt. I'll ask him about his next film, (comment made by a reporter who is going to
Hollywood)
If I met Brad Pitt. I would ask for his autograph, (comment made by a teenage fan)
b) If I win the money. I'll buy a new car. (comment made by a contestant on a TV game show)
If I won the money. I would buy a new car.
(comment made by a member of the audience)
♦ We use if to show that something might happen. We use when to show that something will
definitely happen.
e.g. If Steve calls, tell him I'll be back in ten minutes. (Steve might call.)
When Steve calls, tell him I'll be back in ten minutes. (It is certain that Steve will call.)
♦ We can form conditionals by using words/ expressions such as unless (Type 1 Conditionals),
providing/provided that, so/as long as. on condition (that), what if, suppose/supposing,
otherwise (= if not), but for, and, or (else), even if, in case of Un the event of, etc.
e.g. a) Unless you help me. I won't finish on time. (=11 you don't help me....)
b) I'll water the plants providing/provided (that) I have time this afternoon. (... it I have time ...)
c) So/As long as you promise to be back by midnight, you can go to the party.
(If you promise ...)
d) He agreed to work Saturdays on condition that he was paid overtime.
(... if he was paid ...)
e) ‘I'll take Dad’s car tomorrow night.’ ‘What if he needs it?’ (= What will you do if he needs it?)
I) Suppose/Supposing you were fired, what would you do? (= If you were fired, ...)
g) We'd better leave now. Otherwise we’ll miss our flight. (If we don't leave now. we 'll miss our flight.)
h) But for your advice. I wouldn't have been able to solve my problems.
(It you hadn't advised me. ...)
i) Do that again and I'll punish you. (If you do that again…)
j) Don 't do that again or (else) I'll punish you. (If you do that again…)
k) I wouldn’t go to the party even if they invited me.
l) In case of/In the event of a fire, sound the alarm. (If there is a fire....)(If you do that again...)
♦ We do not normally use will, would or should in an if-clause. However, we can use will or would
after it to make a polite request or express insistence or uncertainty (usually with expressions
such as I don't know, I doubt, I wonder, etc.) In this case, if means whether. We can also use
should after if to talk about something which is possible, but not very likely to happen.
e.g. a) If you will wait a minute, Mr Carrington will be able to see you.
(Will you please wait... - polite request)
b) If you will go on making so much noise. I'll send you out.
(If you insist on making ... - insistence)
c) I wonder if he ’ll call me tomorrow.
(I wonder whether... - uncertainty)
d) If Paul should turn up. tell him to wait for me (I don't really expect Paul to turn up.)
