Key Points About Conditional Statements:
* They are structured as "If...then..."
* The "if" part (hypothesis) is a condition.
* The "then" part (conclusion) is the result of the condition being met.
* They can be true or false.
* True: The conclusion follows logically from the hypothesis.
* False: The conclusion does not follow logically from the hypothesis.
