We use the first conditional to talk about something that will probably happen in the future.

You can use any present form in the if – clause ( simple present, present continuous or present perfect) and any future form ( will going to, future perfect, future continuous) or an imperative or a modal verb (might, may or should) in the other clause.

When we have negative if-clauses, we can replace if not with the word unless.

You will need to use the first conditional to explain all the good things that will happen, could happen, might happen etc. if a person buys/uses their product.

Give examples of the benefits, trying to sound enthusiastic and persuasive.

🗨️ Example:

My business is Green’s brilliant bicycles. If you buy one of our bicycles, you can exercise as you come to school. If you use it every day, you will make a difference to the environment. You won’t believe how good cycling will make you feel unless you try it! And, when you buy one of our bikes today, you’ll get a free helmet! Get yours now!
