The First Conditional

Hey guys! Welcome to another grammar lesson.

This video is about the first conditional.

Let’s get into it!

The first conditional talks about real possibilities in the present or in the future.

It talks about possible events and their likely results.

In fact, this is the obvious difference between the first and zero conditional.

In zero conditional the result is always true.

If Ice melts, it becomes water.

always true.

But in first conditional everything is probable.

If it’s sunny tomorrow, I will go to the beach.

Or maybe I’ll go to the park. Maybe I won’t go out at all. It’s not 100%

So, if this event happens or if this condition exists comma (,) this will likely happen.

You can use the first conditional to talk about predictions, superstitions, future plans, warning & threats, persuasions, offers, suggestions and things like that.

Let’s take a look at some of them.

A prediction is a statement you make about what you think will happen in the future.

You can use the first conditional sentence structure to say what you think will happen in a specific situation or when a specific event happens.

If I don’t hurry, I’ll be late for work.

A superstition is a belief that an event or situation will bring good luck or bad luck.

If you knock on wood, it will make the bad luck go away!

You can use the first conditional sentence structure to make plans for the future if an event or situation happens first.

If you go shopping tomorrow, I’ll go with you!

A warning is a statement about a possible problem or danger.

Slow down! If the police catch you speeding, you’ll get a ticket.

A threat is a statement that someone will harm you or cause problems for you if you don’t do what they want you to do.

If you don’t come to my birthday party, I’ll never speak to you again.

So, this is the first conditional sentence structure

You can use other modal verbs instead of “will”.

A modal verb is an auxiliary verb. It is a helping verb.

It’s used before another verb to express ideas such as ability possibility, certainty, necessity or permission.

She’s going to take a vacation next week if she gets time off work.

If you need someone to help you move, I might be able to help.

I can get you a ticket to the concert if you really wanna go.
