Conditional sentence explanation
​

La condena de ejecución condicional significa una advertencia a quien delinque por primera vez, al tiempo que evita los riesgos señalados con el cumplimiento efectivo de esa pena.

Explanation:

Conditional sentences are sentences that express one thing contingent on something else, e.g. "If it rains, the picnic will be cancelled". They are so called because the impact of the main clause of the sentence is conditional on the dependent clause.
