Introduction

First Conditional plays a key role in the communication of future possibilities and conditional
situations. This grammatical structure is essential to express events that can occur based on
certain specific conditions. The ability to master the correct use of the first condition is crucial
to communicate effectively in English and provides a deeper understanding of the language.

This work aims to explore in detail the structure, use and importance of the first condition.
Through clear examples and in-depth discussions, we will be able to understand how such a
grammatical structure can significantly influence the way we express our ideas and
expectations on future events.

During the work of this work, I will examine not only the basic construction of the first
condition, but also its application in everyday situations, its relationship with other conditional
structures and the relevance of an effective domain of this structure for clear and coherent
communication. At the end of this study, I hope not just increase my knowledge of the first
condition, but also improve my ability to use it in a precise and adequate way.

2.Objectives

4
According to Andrade (1997: 26) "Every survey must have clear and defined objectives, for it
makes it easier to conduct research" the objectives can be general and specific (individual).
Thus, the study resulting from this work will be guided by the following objectives:

2.1.gerais

 Running First Conditional

2.2.Specific

 Identify and detail the different forms of First Conditional.

 Detail the First Conditional structure and clauses.

3.Methodology

According to Gil (1999: 26) "The methodology is the line of reasoning adopted in the research
process, a set of intellectual and technical procedures so that its goals are achieved." Here you
look at methodology as being the way of thinking about developing an activity. Thus, for the
meterialization of this work, the use of bibliographical research was imperative that consisted
of reading the literature treating this theme and the use of the Internet.

4. Conditionals

Conditionals refer to something that can have a real or not nature. Typically, "conditionitals"
are formed by a prayer with "if" and a primary prayer. It is understood that the conditional are

5
used to describe real or hypothetical situations, being composed of two prayers: one with the
conjunction IF and the other, the main. The condition expressed in different types of
conditional indicates also different degrees that the actual may have.

The real can be both open and unreal. An open condition indicates that something can be true
or become true. On the other hand, the unreal condition has the idea of something that is not
true or is imaginary.

Conditionals are classified in four: Zero Conditional, First Conditional, Second Conditional and
Third Conditional. The second congrective prayer is used to build the modal verbs, whose main
objective is to explain the consequence of the condition expressed by IF. It is also added that
the condition can be expressed with other conjunctions.

5. First Conditional

First Conditional is the conditional used to speak of a possible condition and a probable result.
That is, The First Conditional is used to express Actions or sites that are likely to Happen in the
future. Whe We Use it We are thinking about the situation or condition in the future That Will Is
Respons for the result. In The First Conditional There is a real possibility that the condition,
Action or Situation in Matter Will Happen.

1. IfIHave Enough Happiness, I Will Be Happy Ever After!

2. If cal Daniel, he will bealy happy.
3. If you give love love, she will love you back.
4. If we tell our parents we want it, they will give it to us.
5. If they don’t hurry, they will miss the bus.

In all of the above situations, we are thinking about a condition in the future. None of the situations are
happening, but there is a possibility that all of them will be completed. The Present Simple is used to
show a possible future condition, while the Future Simple is used to show a possible future outcome.
Remember that the possibility that the condition will happen is real. This is really important in the First
Conditional.

5.1 Usingof First Conditional

6
The first conditional is used to speak of the plans of the subject. We have imagine that we want
to plan holiday, but to become reality, you must meet certain conditions. In this case, we use
First Conduit.

Examples:

1. If I save enough money, I will go to the beach.

2. If she passes the exam, she will travel abroad.

5.2 Structure of the first conditional

First Conditional has two clauses: the condition and the result. One of it should be in the
present simple and the other in the simple future. As in Conditional Zero, the order of clauses is
interchangeable.

 Condition clause

The condition clause has the following structure:IF + Subject + Simple gift,

 Result clause

The second clause is the result and is formed with:Subject + Will + verb in the infinitive.

5.3 First Conditional in the affirmative form

The first conditional in the affirmative should include a clause in the present simple and a clause
in the simple future.

Structure:If + Subject + simple present, Subject + Will + infinitive verb

Examples:

1. If my family buys the land, we will build a house.

2. We will build a house if my family buys the land.

5.4 First conditional in negative form

7
First Conditional can also be used in the negative form. In this case, it is necessary to include the
negative formula No Do not Don't in the clause that includes 'if'.

Structure: If + Subject + do/does not + simple present, Subject + will + not + verb in infinitive.

Examples:

1. If you do not carefully, you will have an accident.

2. You Will have an accident if you don't drive carefully.

5.5 First Condition in the Interrogative Shape

First questions in the interrogative form is very simple. Just reverse the order of the clauses.
That is, the first will be the clause in the future and the second will be the condition.

Structure:Will + Subject + verb in infinitive + If + Subject + verb in present simple + ?

Examples:

1. Will you buy me an ice cream if I clean my room?

2. Will he pick you up if it is too late?

5.6Important note in the use of First Conditional

 Correct use of the comma

After the 'If' clause, it is necessary to include a comma before the result clause.

Example:

1. If you study hard, you will pass the exam.

 Attention to verbal times

It is very common for the two prayers to be in the present simple or both in the simple future.
Remembering that the clause that includes 'if' must be in the present.

Example:

8
 1. IF I explain it to my teacher, she will understand.
 Orversion of order

One thing that ends up bothering many is the fact that the First Conditional phrase can be
inverted, and then the formula is the inverse, which makes some people have difficulty
recognizing First Conditional. But, actually, even with the inverse order, we can see the same
grammatical elements in the sentence.

In addition, through the inversion of phrases becomes a fairly a fact: when the sentence begins
with if, we need a comma at the end of the sentence that indicates the condition, while in the
inverse order we do not need this comma. Let's see some examples:

1. If I get Sick, I Will Go to the Drugstore.

2. I Will Go to the Drugstore IF I get Sick.

We can see that even in the inverse order. We have a verb in the simple future followed by
infinitive, an "if" meaning condition and a verb in the present. Let's look more some examples
for this to be clearer:

1. If you read this book, you will be very smart.

2. You Will Bea Very SMART IF You Read This Books.
3. IF Rains Tomorrow, He wonder go to the pool.
4. He wonder go to the pool IF Rains Tomorrow.
 Models verbs

Another feature of the phrases at First Conditional is that instead of the verb or will go to mark
the simple future, we can have other modal verbs in its place.

Those who may most appear are the verbsMight, May and Can, all with meaning of possibility
(with the CAN may mean ability). Let's see some examples of sentences with these verbs:

1. If you eat the salad, you can have desert.

2. If He Studies to Lot, Height Mass Pass the exam.
3. IF Shear Learns English, She May Go to The USA.

5.7 Differences between the Zero Conditional and First Conditional

As we saw before, First Conditional is used to speak of a possible condition and a probable
result. In contrast, Zero Conditional is used to talk about something that happens when there is
a specific condition.

5.8 Exceptions to the Rule

However, there are some exceptions to the rule. We use the Present Continuous Tense Instead
of the Present Simple Wheneling Plan for news and Arrangements. For instance, we can Say, "If
you free free tomorrow, we're doing a Picnic." In this case, The Speaker Is Inviting the listener
to picnic if theY're Free tomorrow. W e use 'unless' instead of 'IF Not'. We used to "unless"
instead of "If Not."

For example

1. "Unless you stud, you will not pass the exam."

2. This Sentence Means That The Listener Won't Pass The Unless Union Study.

5.9 First Conditional relationship with other conditions

The First Conditional is part of a system of individual conditional structures that relate to each
other to express different types of hypothetical situations and their possible consequences. In
addition to First Conditional, there are Zero Conditional, Second Conditional and Third
Conditional, each with its particularities and specific uses.

Zero Conditional is used to express general situations and scientific facts, using the present
simple so much in condition and in the income.

For example: " "If you heat ice, it melts".

SecDond Conditional is employed to talk about unrealistic situations in the present or in the
future and its hypothetical results, using the simple past in the condition and the simple
condition (word + verbo) in the result.

10
For example: ""If I won the lottery, I would travel the world"

Finally, Third Conditional is used to talk about unrealistic situations in the past and its possible
past consequences, employing the perfect past in the condition and the conditional compound
( (would have + pasterply:).

For example: "If she had studied harder, she would have passed the exam"

The First Conditional relationship with the other conditionals is in its function of expressing real
situations in the present or future and its possible consequences. While Conditional Zero deals
with general situations and scientific facts, First Conditional deals with specific situations in the
present or future with probable results. It is important to understand these nuances to use
conditional structures in a correct and effective way in communication in English.

6. Conclusion

The conclusion of this study on the first condition allows us to recognize the crucial importance
of such a grammatical structure in the communication and expression of future conditional
situations. Throughout this work, I explored the basic construction of the first condition, its
application in everyday contexts and its relevance in the English language.

It is clear that the first condition plays a key role in the transmission of ideas on possible future
events based on specific conditions. The ability to employ this grammatically structured and
effectively improvementally improvement our communication skill, allowing us to express our
expectations and forecasts in accordance.

In addition, understanding the first condition is not only enriched our knowledge of the English
language, but also helps us better understand the nuances of conditional communication,
allowing us to express our thoughts and plans in more articulated and coherent.

In short, the first condition, with its ability to express future possibilities based on specific
conditions, represents an essential element in the linguistic repertoire of any English

11
apprentice. By dominating this structure, we have expanded our communicative competence
and strengthen our ability to express ideas in a precise and impactant way.
