ESL / EFL RESOURCES First Conditional Interactive Worksheet

The first conditional is used to talk about possible things that might happen in the future.

First conditional sentences consist of two clauses, an 'if + present simple' clause and a 'will +
infinitive' clause. Structure: if + present simple, ... will + infinitive

If the 'if' clause comes first, a comma is used, e.g. If the train is delayed, she will be late.

If the 'if' clause comes second, no comma is needed, e.g. She will be late if the train is delayed.
