OBJETIVO: Identificar el uso del condicional “uno” en inglés para hablar de hechos o situaciones
que ocurrirán si se presenta o da una condición en particular.

THE FIRST CONDITIONAL

The first (1st) conditional is the possible conditional. It is used to talk about possible future events
and their likely results.

If this event happens or if this condition exists, this will likely happen.

You can use the the first conditional to talk about predictions, superstitions, future plans, warnings
& threats, and offers & suggestions. These are things that are real, so this conditional is also called
the future real conditional.

This is the first conditional sentence structure:

If + present simple, will + verb

You need to use the present simple tense even though you are talking about a future event. That’s
OK! You can use the the present simple after a conjunction to talk about a future event.

Now that you understand how to form the first conditional, let’s focus on when to use it.

1. Predictions

A prediction a statement you make about what you think will happen in the future. You can use the
first conditional sentence structure to say what you think will happen in a specific situation or when
a specific event happens.

Example:

If you don’t hurry, you’ll be late for work.

2. Superstitions

A superstition is a belief that an event or situation will bring good luck or bad luck.

Example:

If you break a mirror, you will have 7 years of bad luck!

3. Future plans

You can use the first conditional sentence structure to make plans for the future if an event or
situation happens first.

Example:

If you go shopping tomorrow, I’ll go with you!

4. Warnings and threats

A warning is a statement about a possible problem or danger. A threat is a statement that someone
will harm your or cause problems for you if you don’t do what they want you to do.

Example:

Slow down! If the police catch you speeding, you’ll get a ticket.
