Explanation:

• Conditional sentences are described as the sentences that communicates a condition and an outcome associated with it.
• These sentences also express hypothetical conditions as well as factual implications.
• It consists of a dependent clause also known as the 'if' clause which expresses the condition and an independent clause to show the consequence of the action(often hypothetically).
• Since the 'if clauses' in the given sentences(except the first one) is written in present tense, the main clause would employ 'will + V1.'
• The first sentence employs past tense in 'if clause', thus, the main clause would follow 'would + V1' rule.
