First Conditional

First Conditional

We use the first conditional to talk about possible situations and their consequences in the future. example:

If I study, I will pass my English exam.

The present simple after IF refers to events in the future.

There are two clauses in a first conditional sentence. We use the present simple in the IF clause and WILL in the main clause. The clauses can come in either order.

When the IF clause comes first, we use a comma (,)

If we don´t protest, they will close the library.

Form:

If + present simple + , + will + infinitive

If you study, you will pass the exam.

will (´ll) + infinitive - if + present simple

+ If I study, I will pass my exams.

- If I don´t study, I won´t pass my exams.
