First Conditional
First conditional sentence: FORM
The first conditional sentence has two clauses, an "IF" clause and a "main clause"
IF CLAUSE
If + simple present
If it rains
If you don't hurry
MAIN CLAUSE
Simple future
you will get wet
we will miss the train
If I see Bob, I will invite him
If you are late, we won't go to the cinema
If it is cold, will you stay at home?
If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need
for a comma:
I will finish my composition if I have time
What will you do if you are late?
You won't arrive in time if you get up late
First conditional sentence: USE
The first conditional is used to talk about things which are possible in the present or the future ↑ things
which may happen.
The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will
happen.
If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.
(I think there is a real possibility of rain tomorrow. So, I will stay at home)
If John's father doesn't buy him a bike for his birthday, he'll be very unhappy.
(I think there is a real possibility that his father won't buy him a bike. So, he will be unhappy)
