Study Notes
First Conditional
-
Conditionals express hypothetical situations, guessing about a possible outcome
-
First conditional (real conditional) focuses on likely outcomes based on a condition
-
Pattern: If + present tense verb, will + base form of main verb
-
Use: Predicting likely results of a condition
-
Example: If it is sunny tomorrow, they will go to the beach.
-
Important: if-clause can come first or second, meaning does not change; a comma is used after the if-clause when it is at the beginning of the sentence.
Negative First Conditional Sentences
-
Possible to have a negative verb in the if-clause, main clause, or both; use won't for will not
-
Example: If I don't pass the test, my parents will be angry.
First Conditional Examples (Continued)
-
Example sentences include: If they rehearse a lot, they will be ready for their concert. If she doesn't buy a new suit, she won't have anything to wear.
-
Tip #3: The verb in the if-clause needs an -s ending if the subject is third person singular. Example: If she watches that movie, she will cry.
-
Tip #4: Be going to + base verb or present progressive can be used in place of will + base verb without changing meaning, Ex: if it doesn't rain, we are going for a walk
