Hello.
Yes, I am sure there are many threads related to turkish conditionals but I will try to help you while someone can find them for you.

First of all, the Turkish Present Conditional.
The particle " eger" reinforces the conditional so you should add it.

" If you study , you will learn turkish "
"Eger çalisirsan , Turkçeyi ogreneceksin "

The verb study is "çalismak" so you take the
"çalis " part then add suffix "-ir" which shows the "condition" and then the turkish conditional suffix for the 2nd person singular -"san " of course, following vowel harmony.

Another example :
" If she calls me , I will help her "
"Eger beni ararsa , ona yardim edecegim "

Verb call is "aramak" you do the same process again and add the turkish conditional suffix for the 3rd person singular which is "-sa" according to our sentence.

Now the same sentences in negative :

" If you dont study , you wont learn turkish"
"Eger çalismazsan , Turkçeyi ogrenmeyeceksin "

(The -Maz" part is the aorist tense suffix in negative )

" If she doesnt call me , I won't help her "
"Eger beni aramazsa , ona yardim etmeyecegim "

I hope native speakers can help you too.
Good luck.
