Grammar
First Conditional
We use the first conditional to talk about future possibilities or things that are likely to happen in the future. For example:
If I have enough money, I will go to Boston this summer.
The structure of the first conditional is:
If + present simple verb, will + infinitive
If the teacher is good, the class will be easy to follow.
We can also use the first conditional in the NEGATIVE FORM. For example:
If the hotel is not available, I won’t book it.
If + don’t / doesn’t + present simple verb, won’t + infinitive
In this case, both parts of the sentence are negative, but we might find sentences where one part is negative and the other is affirmative. For example:
If she doesn’t study, she’ll fail her exam.
If + don’t / doesn’t + present simple verb, will + infinitive
If it rains, I won’t go to the concert.
If + present simple verb , will not / won’t + infinitive
