Noun clauses
A noun clause is a subordinate clause that performs the function of a noun in a sentence. A noun clause is frequently accompanied by one of the conjunctions that, if, and whether, and so on. In fact, any reported speech sentence contains a noun clause introduced by one of these conjunctions.

Adjective clauses
A dependent clause with a subject and a verb is known as an adjective clause. An adjective clause serves the same purpose as an adjective.
A defining relative clause is required in a sentence because it tells us who or what is being described. A non-defining relative clause is not required in a sentence because it simply adds more information about who or what we are describing. Thus, you could leave it out and the sentence would still make sense.

Conditional clauses
Zero conditionals: A zero conditional is a conditional sentence that expresses a scientific or widely accepted fact. The basic form is If + simple present + simple present. Eg. If you heat ice, it melts.
Conditionals of type 1: These are conditionals that indicate a result that could occur with a reasonable probability if the condition in the if-clause is met. Because there is a chance that the conclusion will hold, such conditionals are also known as likely conditionals. The formula is if + simple present + will + verb. Eg. If I meet her, I will tell her.
Conditionals of type 2: These are conditionals that indicate a possible outcome with a low probability. This is due to the expectation that the condition in the if-clause will not be met. Because there is a small chance that the action will occur, such conditionals are used. Conditionals that are unlikely to occur are also known as unlikely conditionals. The formula is if + simple past + would + verb. Eg. If I had a lot of money, I would buy a big house.
Conditionals of type 3: These are conditionals that indicate a result that did not occur. It is also clear that the condition in the if-clause was not met, which is thought to be the reason why the conclusion in the main clause did not come true. Because the conclusion has no chance of being true, such conditionals are also known as impossible conditionals. The formula is 1f + past perfect + would + have + past participle. Eg. If I had gone to bed early I would have caught the bus.
