First Type if Conditional

 FIRST TYPE IF CONDITIONAL

The first (1st) conditional is the possible conditional. It is used to talk about possible future events and their likely results.

If this event happens or if this condition exists, this will likely happen.

You can use the the first conditional to talk about predictions, superstitions, future plans, warnings & threats, and offers & suggestions. These are things that are real, so this conditional is also called the future real conditional.

A quick review: There are two parts to a conditional sentence. There is an if-clause (also called the conditional-clause) and a main-clause or result-clause. The if-clause contains the condition (the event or situation that must happen first), and the main-clause, which is the result. The two events are connected. One event or situation is a condition for another event or situation.

FUNCTION :

The type 1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. These sentences are based on facts, and they are used to make statements about the real world, and about particular situations. We often use such sentences to give warnings. In type 1 conditional sentences, the time is the present or future and the situation is real.

POLA :

if + simple present, simple future “will” / imperative

EXAMPLE :

• If I meet him, I will introduce myself.
• I will cook dinner tonight if you clean the house.
• If you rest, you will feel better.
• If you set your mind to a goal, you will eventually achieve it.
• If it rains, I will stay at home.
• If he gives her chocolate, she will be happy.
• If it doesn’t rain, we will go to the library.
