1. Conditional sentences are used to express actions or situations that are dependent on a certain condition. They typically consist of two parts: the "if" clause (the condition) and the main clause (the result or consequence).

2. In this case, we have two conditional sentences. Let's break them down one by one:

- "Richard will (to walk) to school if he (to miss) the bus."

To solve this sentence, we first need to determine the correct verb forms to use. The verb in parentheses should be filled in using the correct tense based on the context.

In the if clause, "he (to miss) the bus," we can see that the verb "miss" should be in the simple present tense because it refers to a possible future situation. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "misses."

In the main clause, "Richard will (to walk) to school," we can see that the verb "walk" should be in the simple future tense because it refers to a future action which is dependent on the condition being met. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "walk."

The complete sentence would be: "Richard will walk to school if he misses the bus."

3. "Emily (to buy) a Pepsi if you (to pack) the picnic basket."

Again, let's analyze this sentence step by step.

In the if clause, "you (to pack) the picnic basket," we can see that the verb "pack" should be in the simple present tense because it refers to a possible future situation. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "packs."

In the main clause, "Emily (to buy) a Pepsi," we can see that the verb "buy" should be in the simple future tense because it refers to a future action which is dependent on the condition being met. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "will buy."

The complete sentence would be: "Emily will buy a Pepsi if you pack the picnic basket."

In summary, conditional sentences are used to express actions or situations that are dependent on a certain condition. The "if" clause states the condition, while the main clause states the result or consequence. We determine the correct verb forms by considering the tense and context of the sentence. By analyzing each clause and selecting the appropriate verb forms, we can form clear and understandable conditional sentences.
