The first conditional talks about real, possible situations in the future and their likely results. It's built from two parts: the "if" clause (present simple) and the result clause (will + base verb).
Why this matters This lesson connects directly to your progress: it covers form: if + present simple, will + base verb; negative conditions and results; advice, instructions, and uncertain plans. Mastering this content lets you move forward confidently, and reinforces patterns you'll use again later. Take time to review every example before moving to the assessment — repetition is what actually locks knowledge in long-term.
01
The goals of this lesson.
02
You already know how to talk about the future with "will" and "going to". This lesson combines a present condition with a future result: the First Conditional ("If it rains, I will stay home").
03
The "if" clause always uses present simple, even though it refers to the future. The result clause uses "will" + the base verb. The order of the two clauses can be reversed.
| Part | Tense | Example |
|---|---|---|
| If clause | present simple | If it rains, |
| Result clause | will + base verb | I will stay home. |
Examples
04
Either or both clauses can be negative — "doesn't/don't" in the if-clause, and "won't" in the result clause.
Examples
05
The first conditional isn't only about "will" — it's also common with imperatives (go, ask, take) for advice, or with present simple for general truths.
Examples
06
Read the text and answer the questions. You can try as many times as you want.
Tomorrow is an important day for Laura. If she passes her final exam, she will graduate from university. If she doesn't pass, she will have to retake the course next semester. She has studied hard, so if she stays calm, she will probably do well.
Her friends told her, "If you feel nervous, take a deep breath before you start." Her parents said that if she graduates, they will throw a big party for her. If everything goes well, she will start looking for a job right away.
1. What will happen if Laura passes her exam?
2. What will happen if she doesn't pass?
3. What advice did her friends give her?
4. What will her parents do if she graduates?
5. What will Laura do if everything goes well?
💪 You can now talk about the future with real precision. Review this lesson if needed, or keep building your fluency!
