First law of thermodynamics- energy can neither be created or destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another. When one form of energy is converted to another form in a physical or chemical change, energy input always equals energy output

Second law of thermodynamics - When energy is converted from one form to another, some of the useful energy is always degraded to lower quality, less useful energy (usually heat)

You have the formal definitions above, here is another:
Law conservation of energy can be stated as: "What you gain at the swing, you lose at the roundabout." Or alternatively "there is no free lunch." I hope this was helpful.
