About 'If' Conditionals:

• Conditionals are sentences that use 'if' and tell a condition that if something happens, then as a result something else happens.
• Zero conditional: if + any tense, then + same tense. (Eg): If I were the King, I would donate to the poor.
• First conditional: If + simple present, then + simple future. (Eg): If I am happy, then I will dance.
• Second conditional: If + simple past, then + past perfect. (Eg): If I was happy, then I would have danced.
• Third conditional: If + past perfect, then would have + past participle. (Eg): If I had been happy, then I would have danced.
• Based on that:

1. As both the clauses have same tense -Zero conditional
2. We have past perfect and 'wouldn't have' -Third conditional.
3. There is simple present and simple future -First conditional.
4. There is simple present and simple future -First conditional.
5. As both the clauses have same tense -Zero conditional
