If Conditional Type 1

 If Conditional Type 1

Hi guyss! back again with me, on my blog this time I'll discuss about If Conditional Type 1.

Definition of Conditional Type 1.

Sharp :
In type 1 conditional sentences , the tense in the if clause is the  simple present and the  tense in the main clause is the  simple future .

If clause (condition)	Main clause (result / effect)
If + simple present	simple future
If this thing happens	that thing will happen.

As in all conditional sentences , the order of the clauses is not fixed. You may have to adjust pronouns and punctuation marks when changing clause order, but the meaning is the same. 

Example :
- If it rains, you will get wet.
- You will get wet if it rains.
- If Sally is late again I will be mad.
- I will be mad if Sally is late again.
- If you don't hurry, you will miss the bus.
- You will miss the bus if you don't hurry.

Function :
Type 1 conditional  refers to conditions that may occur and the possible results. These sentences are based on facts and are used to make statements about the real world and certain situations. We often use sentences like this to provide warnings. In type 1 conditional sentences , the time is  the present or the future and the situation is  real .

Example :
- If I have time, I'll finish that letter.
- What will you do if you miss the plane?
- Nobody will notice if you make a mistake.
- If you drop that glass, it will break.
- If you don't drop the gun, I'll shoot!
- If you don't leave, I'll call the police.

In type 1 conditional sentences  , you can also use  modal in the main clause and not the  future tense to express the degree of certainty, permission, or recommendation regarding the outcome or outcome.

Example :
- If you drop that glass, it might break.
- I may finish that letter if I have time
- If he calls you, you should go
- If you buy my school supplies for me, I will be able to go to the park.
