The First Conditional

Grammar explanation

Conditional sentences are often divided into different types. The first conditional is one of four types of hypothetical sentences in English, and it is probably the most commonly used. In which situations can we use it and why?

Conditionals describe the result of a certain condition. The if clause tells you the condition (If you study hard) and the main clause tells you the result (you will pass your exams). The order of the clauses does not change the meaning.

If you study hard, you will pass your exams.
You will pass your exams if you study hard.

We use the first conditional when we talk about future situations we believe are real or possible.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we'll go to the beach.
Barselona will be top of the league if they win.
When I finish work, I'll call you.

In first conditional sentences, the structure is usually:

if/when + present simple >> will + infinitive

It is also common to use this structure with unless, as long as, as soon as or in case instead of if.

I'll leave as soon as my parents arrive.
I don't want to stay in London unless I get a well-paid job.
I'll give you a key in case I'm not at home.
You can go to the party, as long as you're back by midnight.

Let's watch the video that explains how we can use the first conditional form in real life.
