Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of a contrastive study of conditional sentences in French and Italian. First we compare the three basic types of conditional sentences (open conditional, hypothetical conditional and unfulfilled conditional), using conjunction si in French and se in Italian. The second part of the article deals with other types of conditional clauses (using other conjunctions). The contrastive analysis of those sentences reveals both similarities and differences between the uses of verb mood in the two languages.
