First Conditional.

What is it?

The first conditional talks about the future.

We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, it is morning. You are at home. You plan to play tennis this afternoon. But there are some clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do?

IFconditionresult
present simpleWILL + base verb
Ifit rainsI will stay at home.

The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen.

To practice and deep dive into the first conditional, play this game provided by ENGames. It's a fun way to get to know the tense. 

Here also a couple more examples, just in case!
