We use the FIRST CONDITIONAL to make conditional predictions about the future: If event a happens, event b probably will happen.

​If it rains, we won't go to the park.
We will go watch the movie if there are tickets available.
If we have saved up enough money by September, we will buy a new car.

These scenarios are likely to happen and talk about particular situtations (ie. not general facts).

​CONDITIONAL CLAUSE	​RESULT CLAUSE
If you don't hurry up	​we will be late.

Conditionals are complex sentences, and as such they always have two clauses (two halves): a dependent clause and an independent clause.

Remember that in complex sentences we can choose the order that we want to say the sentence in, and the meaning stays the same.
