grammar - first conditional (=future conditions)

  • We use the first conditional to describe a possible (mögliche) and certain (sichere) future action or situation!

(We can use "When" if a future action is certain)

(Present tense after if, not after will or won't!)

IF   +   PRESENT TENSE                 WILL / WON'T + INFINITIVE (without to)

If you give me some money,           I'll ( I will) get some ice creams.

If you call me before six o'clock,     I won't (I will not ) be at home.

If you don't work hard,                     you'll ( you will) fail (durchfallen) your exams.

When I arrive at the airport,             I'll phone you.

 

  • We use the first conditional to offer or suggest (vorschlagen) sth:

Examble: If you get the shopping, I'll wash the car.

 

  • We use the first conditional to warn someone not to do sth:

Examble: If you arrive late, we'll go without you.
