A conditional probability is one that is dependent on something before it happening. 
An unconditional or independent is one that is unaffected by previous action.

Conditional- Pulling an ace out of a deck of cards and then drawing a second ace without replacing the first. You would have a 4/52 chance of getting the first ace, but a 4/51 chance (if you didn't pull an ace) of the second, making the second conditional upon the results of the first. 

Unconditional- Rolling a die. The fact that you got a 6 on one roll has no effect on whether you will roll a six later on.
