FIRST CONDITIONALS If + Present Simple, Subject + will + Verb 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. First Conditional Structure Like a zero conditional , a first conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an “if” clause and a main clause. We use different verb forms in each part of a first conditional. The first conditional uses a different verb form in each clause. To construct the if clause you would write if + subject + simple present verb tense. To construct the main clause, you would write subject + will + verb.
