First Conditional

First Conditional

1. The negative structure is:

   • Interrogative + will + verb (in infinitive) + if + present simple?
     • Check out these examples of the English first conditional, in affirmative, negative, and interrogative:
     • What will you do if you go to bed late?
       • Will you need the car tomorrow if your friend comes to pick you up?
         • Will we invite Joel if she isn’t free tomorrow?
           • Will Brian go to work if he feels sick?
             • If I come with you, will you buy me lunch?

2. The first conditional is used to express the future consequence of a realistic possibility now or in the future.

   • El primer condicional se forma con esta estructura Si + presente simple, será + infinitivo.
     • It is used to talk about what will happen in the future if a condition is fulfilled.
       • The negative form can be with don't, doesn't or won't, depending on what you want to say.

3. Creating the First Conditional

   • To make a sentence in the first conditional, we use,
     • If + present simple, will/won’t + verb.
       • If I train for tomorrow's game, I will play well.
       • If I pass this exam, I will not have to retake it.
       • If I learn Dart, I will be able to program my own applications.
       • Like all conditionals we can also invert this structure:
         • Will + verb if + present simple.
           • I’ll celebrate if I pass this exam.
           • I won’t have to do this exam again if I pass it.
       • If I have no homework today, I will be able to play warzone with my friends.
       • if I brush my teeth every day, I will have clean teeth.

4. The Negative Form

   • There are three formulas you can use to form a negative first conditional sentence in English
     • If + subject + (doesn’t/don’t) simple present, subject + (won’t) base verb.
       • If + subject + (doesn’t/don’t) simple present, subject + simple future (will + base verb).
         • If + subject + simple present, subject + (won’t) base verb.
     • if I don't obey my parents, I will be in a lot of trouble.
