First Conditional

If : First Conditional

We use the first conditional to talk about actions or events in the future which are likely to happen or have a real possibility of happening.

The First Conditional has two parts:

1. Condition Part(If ...): We use only present simple in this part. Example: If I go...; If he goes...

2. Result Part (will ...): We use 'will + verb' to talk about the result.

If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.

-- I think there is a real possibility of rain tomorrow. In this condition, I will stay at home

If my father doesn't buy me a bike for my

 birthday, I will be very unhappy.

-- I think there is a real possibility that my father won't buy me a bike. In this condition, I will be unhappy. 

Look at these pictures and read the first conditional  statements. 

                Result part: I will go to Switzerland.

                Condition Part: If I save enough money

Notice that you may start your statement with the condition part (If ...) or with the result part. However, if you start with the word 'If"(condition part), you will need a comma between the two parts.
