It will probably take a teacher or someone better versed in English conditional statements to answer this question properly, but I can begin an answer. Let's take a very simple English conditional statement: If (or when) I catch the bus, (then) I am not late for school. Some possible variations which eliminate the obvious if/then conditional statement: I was late to school because I did not catch the bus. I'm concerned that I might miss the bus and be late for school. Missing the bus makes me late for school. I have to catch the bus to avoid being late for school. In order to be on time for school, I have to catch the bus. I am late to school whenever I miss the bus. Or you might reverse the usual order of the if/then statements, putting the "if" statement last: I'm going to be late for school if I miss the bus. These are only a few simple ideas with the most basic type of English conditional statement, but perhaps they can get you started.
