probable and realistic actions or events. All conditional sentences consist of two parts or propositions. In English are clauses. The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other clause:
STRUCTURE
• if + present simple, ... will + infinitive
It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true. FOR EXAMPLE: •If it rains, I won't go to the park. •If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. •If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. •She'll be late if the train is delayed. •She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon. •If I see her, I'll tell her.
