| The First Conditional is used to talk about real and possible situations in the future.These are situations that can actually happen. | Here’s the basic formula: If + present simple → will + base verb |
| Examples: – If it rains, I will stay at home. – If I pass my exam, I will celebrate. – If you study, you will succeed. We use it for: 1. Real future possibilities If I see her, I will tell her. 2. Plans and decisions If I have time, I will call you. 3. Warnings If you don’t study, you will fail. | Examples: If I study, I will pass. If she comes, we will start. Important: – The “if” clause uses the present simple – The result clause uses “will” + verb – You can switch the clauses: If it rains, I will stay home. I will stay home if it rains. Both ssentences are correct Note: No comma when “if” is in the middle |
