Conditional I - Yсловные предложения первого типа

The Conditional I is used to talk about things which are possible in the present or the future — things which may happen:

Example: If it's sunny, we'll go to the park.
Explanation: Maybe it will be sunny — that's possible.
Example: Paula will be sad if Juan leaves.
Explanation: Maybe Juan will leave — that's possible.
Example: If you cook the supper, I'll wash the dishes.
Explanation: Maybe you will cook the supper — that's possible.

Formation:
First conditional If clause + Future will simple main clause
If/when + subject + present simple + subject + will + base verb

Example sentences...
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.

Rules:
1. We use the present simple tense to talk about the possible future condition. (If it’s sunny)
2. We use WILL + base verb to talk about the possible future result. (we’ll go to the park)
3. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen.
4. Sometimes, we use other modal verbs such as shall, can, might, or may instead of will, for example: If you are good today, you can watch TV tonight.
5. The present simple tense is always after the if
