We use the first conditional to talk about real future
possibilities, things that are likely to happen:

 If I go to Barcelona, I will send you a postcard.

(= it’s possible that I’ll go. I’m planning to go to Spain on
holiday.)

 If I move to London, I will invite you to stay with me.

(= it’s possible that I will move. I’m looking for a job in
London.)

You can reverse the two clauses of a first
conditional sentence without changing the

=
If Pat doesn’t arrive soon, we will go.
