Understanding the distinction between real and unreal conditionals in Swahili is crucial for mastering the language's subtleties. Real conditionals, often referred to as factual or indicative conditionals, describe situations that are true or likely to happen. These sentences typically use the present or future tense to express possible actions or events and their consequences. On the other hand, unreal conditionals, sometimes known as hypothetical or subjunctive conditionals, depict scenarios that are contrary to reality or improbable. These sentences often employ the past tense to express wishes, regrets, or hypothetical situations.
