What is the role of 'if' in 1st conditional sentences?

• By using the simple present tense in the 'if' clause and the future simple tense in the main clause.

• By using the past tense in the 'if' clause and the future perfect tense in the main clause.

What is the structure of a zero conditional sentence?

• If + present continuous, present simple.

• If + past simple, present simple.

Can you provide a real-life example of a 1st conditional sentence?

• If it rains, I will bring an umbrella.

• If I win the lottery, I will stop working.

Differentiate between 0 conditional and 1st conditional.

• 0 conditional is for general truths, while 1st conditional is for real or possible situations.

• 0 conditional is used for negative situations, while 1st conditional is used for positive situations.

• 0 conditional is used for past events, while 1st conditional is used for future events.

Give an example of a 1st conditional sentence using 'if'.
