Editing Conditional sentence (section)

===Italian===
[[Italian language|Italian]] uses the following patterns (the equivalent of "if" is ''se''):
*Present tense (or other as appropriate) in both parts of an implicative conditional.
*Future tense in both parts of a predictive conditional sentence (the future is not replaced with the present in condition clauses as in English or French).
*In a counterfactual conditional, the imperfect [[subjunctive]] is used for the condition, and the [[conditional mood]] for the main clause. A more informal equivalent is to use the imperfect indicative in both parts.
*In a counterfactual conditional with past time frame, the pluperfect subjunctive is used for the condition, and the past conditional (conditional perfect) for the main clause.
