A condition is like a rule that tells you when something can or cannot happen.
Imagine you have a favorite toy, maybe a robot that only moves if you press its button. The robot moving is the result, and pressing the button is what makes it move. But what if the robot only moves if you press the button and say "please"? Now there are two things that need to happen for the robot to move, this is like having more than one condition.
When Rules Work Together
Sometimes, just one thing needs to be true for something to happen. Like a door opening, if you push it, the door opens. That’s a simple condition.
But sometimes, you need both things to happen: like needing to have your homework done and being ready at 8 o’clock in the morning for school to start. Both of those are conditions, and both need to be true for school to begin!
So, a condition is just a rule that tells you what needs to be true, or not true, for something else to happen.
Examples

- A person with good condition can run longer without getting tired.
- If your condition is bad, you might feel sick or weak.
