Introduction to First Conditional

🔑 What is the First Conditional?

We use the First Conditional when we want to:

  • Talk about the future
  • Say what will happen if something else happens
  • Show real and possible situations

✨ Example:

  • If I eat too much chocolate, I will feel sick.
  • If we hurry, we will catch the bus.

🧩 Grammar Structure

👉 The First Conditional has two parts:

IF clause (condition)Result clause
If + Present Simplewill + base verb

✅ Examples:

  • If it rains, I will stay at home.
  • If I study, I will pass the test.
  • If we are late, the teacher will be angry.

🚨 Important!
Don’t use will after if.
❌ If it will rain, I will stay home.
✅ If it rains, I will stay home.

💡 When do we use it?

We use the First Conditional for:

  1. Predictions: If it rains, the streets will be wet.
  2. Warnings: If you run too fast, you will fall.
  3. Promises/Plans: If you call me, I will help you.
