First Conditional

FORM

If + present simple, future simple

Note:
- if + present simple = i.e. real things (situation or condition)
- present simple = i.e.likely result
- You can use some modals like can, may, might, and should instead of will.


USAGE

We use first conditional to talk about future possibility (condition) and its probable result. For examples,

• If you work hard, you will pass the exam.
• If I meet him, I will tell him.
• If you don’t listen carefully, you won’t be able to do your assignment.
• If you travel by plane, you will spend more money.
• If you buy her a present, she will be happy.
