Conditional sentences with mixed time frames are those sentences in which the second conditional uses the simple pastin the if clause and would have and a verb in past participle in the result clause for example:
If I weren´t a teacher, I would have been rejected.
I´m a teacher. I was not rejected.
This example shows how a situation in the present affects another situation in the past.
The second contitional normally uses simple pastand would plus a verb, but this does not occur in mixed time frames.
The third conditional in mixed time frame uses past perfect in the if clause and would plus base form of the verb in the result clause to show how a situation from the past affects another situation in the present for example:
If I hadn´t eaten so much, my jeans would fit now.
I ate a lot. My jeans don´t fit now.

Yes, but they can be rewritten. The conditional statement "If it rains then I will get wet" can be written as "I will get wet if it rains" so that the sentence does not begin with if. In logic, these conditional sentences are also equivalents to "I will not get wet or it rains", which does not contain the word "if".

What is a conditional verb?
Modal verbs (such as would, could, and should) are used to create conditional sentences. Conditional sentences need an if clause and a result clause. They usually, but not always, express something imagined or contrary to fact. Conditionals are somewhat confusing because they use past tense verbs to express a present tense idea.If I were rich, I would travel the world. (Present tense--something I desire right now.)If I had been rich, I would have travelled the world.(Past tense--something I had desired in the past.)Hope this helps!
