A first conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a "result" clause:
| if clause |
if + subject + verb in the simple present tense
if it rains |
| result clause |
subject + will + verb
we will go to the cinema.
|
The first conditional is used to talk about things which are possible in the present or the future - things which may happen:
For example:
If the train is on time we will be in London for lunch
(the train is likely to be on time therefore we will be in London in time for lunch)
Next
