Resposta esperada

Type 1 deals with real possibilities, while type 2 addresses unreal situations.

Explicação

Type 1 conditionals express situations that are likely to happen in the present or future, using the simple present in the if-clause and the simple future in the main clause. In contrast, type 2 conditionals refer to hypothetical or unlikely scenarios, utilizing the simple past in the if-clause and "would" in the main clause. Essa distinção é fundamental para entender como as condições afetam a probabilidade e a realidade das situações descritas.
