First Conditional

for real possibility

If I win the lottery, I will buy a car.

We are talking 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?

If	condition	result
	Present simple	Will + base verb
If	It rains,	I will stay at home

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky is cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the Present Simpletense to talk about the possible future condition. We use will + base verb to talk about the possible future result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen.

Here are some more examples

If	condition	result
	Present simple	Will + base verb
If	you study well,	you will pass the examination
If	You play well,	you will win the match
If	you browse my blog,	You will get the study materials
If	You don’t browse my blog,	You will not know the assignments uploaded.
If	You work hard,	You will get good marks in your examination
If	I do not study well,	I will not pass the examination
If	You see a tiger in your bed room,	What will you do?
If	You stay at home,	You will not suffer from covid 19

result	if	condition
Will + base verb	if	Present simple
you will pass the examination	if	you study well.
you will win the match	if	You play well.
You will get the study materials during the lockdown	if	you browse my blog,
You will not know the assignments uploaded	if	You don’t browse my blog,
You will get good marks in your examination	if	You work hard,
I will not pass the examination	if	I do not study well,
What will you do	if	You see a tiger in your bed room?

Sometimes, we use shall, can or may instead of will, for example: If it's sunny this afternoon, we can play tennis.
