## Deep Dive on First Conditional

The **first conditional** talks about real or likely future situations.

- Structure:
  - **If-clause** (present simple) + **main clause** (will + base verb)

- Example: If she **studies** , she **will pass** the exam.
- Negative: If he **doesn’t hurry** , he **won’t catch** the bus.  
You can swap clauses: Will you stay if it rains?  
The condition must be possible or probable.

## Zero vs First Conditional

| Feature | Zero Conditional | First Conditional |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Structure | If + present simple, present simple | If + present simple, will + base verb |
| Use | General truths, scientific facts | Possible future events |
| Example | If you heat water, it boils. | If you heat the oven, it will turn on. |
| Result Clause Tense | Present simple | Future simple (will + base verb) |

## Summary Table

| Element | Form | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Condition clause | If + present simple | If they **don’t walk** |
| Result clause | Will + base verb | they **will miss** the parade. |
| Negative form | Don’t / doesn’t + base verb | If Maya **doesn’t climb** , she **won’t see** it. |

## FAQ

1. What if I use “going to” instead of “will”?
  - “Going to” also expresses planned future actions: If it rains, I’m going to stay home. Both are correct.

2. Can I put the main clause before the if-clause?
  - Yes: I’ll buy a ticket if I arrive early. No comma needed when the if-clause follows.

3. When do we use “won’t” in the first conditional?
  - For negative future results: If you don’t water the plants, they **won’t** grow.

4. Is “will” ever used in the if-clause?
  - Generally not in real conditionals; avoid “If it will rain…” for real possibilities.
