Condensation is what happens after evaporation. Some examples are clouds forming or water beading up on the outside of a cold glass. It is caused by evaporated water cooling.

Condensation is the change from a gas phase into a liquid phase. When moist air touches a colder surface, for example a window, the gaseous water loses some of its energy to the colder window and the water vapor in the air goes back to a liquid. It condenses on the window.

Evaporation is the change from a liquid to a gaseous state. For example water in a lake is warmed by the sun some of the water molecules receive enough energy to change into a gas (water vapor). When enough of this water vapor gets together it forms clouds.
