I am noticing the feedback "conditionals" in many Writing Task 2 essays. Can someone please explain what it means ?
~Thanks in advance.

It is with reference to the grammatical structures that describe the situational relationship between two items. The British Council has a concise explanation of the basic types here:

Hi!
Thanks, Ryan - that's a great link!
Conditionals are really required for a good speaking and writing score. One solution or situation generally isn't true for everyone. Conditionals are great for expressing yourself clearly, developing answers and showing grammatical range.
Example: Do people in your country have a lot of free time?
Well, if you have a job that pays well and isn't too demanding ...
However, if you have to work long hours because your job isn't well-paid ...
All the best,
David
