The First (1st) Conditional

 We use the first conditional to talk about possible


situations in the future and their results.

 E.G. If you break a mirror, you will have bad luck.


Form of First Conditional

 A first conditional sentence has two parts:

 The if clause describes the action.


We usually use if + present simple verb (V1).
e.g. If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.

 The main clause gives the possible result, what will or may
happen.
We use will / won’t + V1.
e.g. If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.
Form of First Conditional

If + present simple (V1), .... future simple (will + V1).

If school opens tomorrow, I will be very happy.


V1 will + V1

If clause Main clause


(action) (possible result)
Usage of the First Conditional

 Usually, the if clause is the first part and the main clause is the second part of a
sentence, but they can written in the opposite as well.

If you don’t come home soon, you will be in a lot of trouble.

You will be in a lot of trouble if you don’t come home soon.
