THE FIRST CONDITIONAL

We use the First Conditional to talk about future events that are likely to happen.
·         If we take John, he'll be really pleased.
·         If you give me some money, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
·         If they tell us they want it, we'll have to give it to them.
·         If Mary comes, she'll want to drive.



The 'if' clause can be used with different present forms.
·         If I go to New York again, I'll buy you a souvenir from the Empire State Building.
·         If he's feeling better, he'll come.
·         If she hasn't heard the bad news yet, I'll tell her.



The "future clause" can contain 'going to' or the future perfect as well as 'will'.
·         If I see him, I'm going to tell him exactly how angry I am.
·         If we don't get the contract, we'll have wasted a lot of time and money.



The "future clause" can also contain other modal verbs such as 'can' and 'must'.
·         If you go to New York, you must have the cheesecake in Lindy's.
·         If he comes, you can get a lift home with him.
