FIRST CONDITIONAL

FIRST CONDITIONAL

1. The first conditional is used to talk about a possible future situation and its result. a VERY LIKELY situation (the condition) and the consequences(or the result) of it.

   • If + present simple, will + base verb
     • If the global warming gets worse, the planet won't repair itself.
       • When we use will in the result clause of the first conditional, we are certain that something will happen. It is definite.
         • I'm not feeling very well. If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay at home.
       • We can use may or might instead of will. This means that the consequence is not certain. It is possible, but not definite.
         • I'm feeling fine and I've got a car. If it rains tomorrow, I might stay at home, or I may go shopping. I'll decide tomorrow.
