First Conditional Flashcards
It has two parts
If statement and the result:
Condition clause or if clause in bold expresses a condition:
If the weather is nice….
The result clause or main clause in bold tells us the result if the condition is met:
We will go to the beach
If the weather is nice, we’ll go to the beach
We use first conditional when we know that it’s possible and likely that the condition will be fulfilled
If clause( present simple)+ main clause(future simple)
