First Conditional

This type of conditional is used in situations where if a condition is met, a certain


result is likely to occur.
The first conditional has the next structure
If + sujeto + present simple, sujeto + future simple
Example:

If you don’t put on repellent, you’ll get bitten


For the future sentence we mostly use the simple future with will, but you can also use
the simple future with going to or a modal verb: can, might, should, or must.

 If the weather is nice on Sunday, we’ll go on a picnic.


 If I don’t have to go to work tomorrow, I am going to visit my parents.
 If the meeting finishes early, we can go for a drink.
 If I have time this afternoon, I might wash my car.
 If they invite you, you should go.
 If you have any problems, you must call me.
Note: The order of the two sentences that make up the structure of the conditional
can be changed. If we start with the condition (If) we will separate them with a
comma. If we start with the sentence that expresses the result, it is not necessary to
put the comma.

 If the plane is delayed, she will be late.


 She will be late if the plane is delayed
The first conditional is used to express future plans, threats, warnings, promises, or to
convince someone of something.
