• The following question is a conditional sentence.

• Conditional sentences are statements that indicate the consequences of the action one takes/makes.

• Conditional sentences contain a conditional clause ( if-clause) and the consequences.

              There are 4 types of Conditional sentences

1. Zero Conditional Sentences: Zero conditional sentences express general truths.
2. First Conditional Sentences: First conditional sentences are used to express situations in which the outcome is likely to happen in the future.
3. Second Conditional Sentences: Second conditional sentences are useful for expressing outcomes that are unrealistic or will not likely happen in the future.
4. Third Conditional Sentences: Third conditional sentences are used to explain that present situations would be different if something different had happened in the past.

If they had used new batteries, their camera would have worked correctly.

The following sentence is a Third Conditional Sentence and thus had used will be used. It indicates that the current situation would have been different if something else would have happened in the past.
