Sentences using “si” have two parts. One clause stating a condition or possibility, and a second clause naming a result depending upon the condition.
Ex:Si le soleil apparaît, la neige fondra.(If the sun comes out, the snow will melt)

The si clause can also be written the opposite way with the result first and si clause behind it.
Ex:La neige fondra si le soleil apparaît.

Si clauses are divided into types based on the likeliness of what is stated in the result clause: what does, will, would, or would have happened if.
ExSi tu conduis, je paierai.

This construction is used to give an order that is dependent on something. The present follows si; it is the situation that is required before the other action becomes a command.
ExSi tu étudies, tu seras intelligent“Si tu étudies” would not be a proper sentence.
