I would have gone to that party if I had been invited. "Would have gone" in this sentence is about as close as English can get to the idea of the past conditional of "go" in a language that has a formal past conditional tense, although formally the English phrase is the conditional present perfect tense. As you may well know, English often uses a present perfect tense when other languages would use a simple past indicative instead.

What are the rules of using conditional sentences?

Conditional sentences typically consist of two clauses: the "if" clause (condition) and the main clause (result). They are often categorized into three types: first conditional (real possibilities), second conditional (hypothetical situations), and third conditional (past situations that did not happen). Each type uses different verb tenses; for example, the first conditional uses the present simple in the "if" clause and future simple in the main clause. Proper punctuation is also important, with a comma used if the "if" clause precedes the main clause.
