THE FIRST CONDITIONAL



We use the first conditional to talk about the possibilities that can happen for the current time or in the future.
When we talk about the first conditional we have to use present tense with the part that we use (if).  Present tense always comes after the word (if). We have to use future tense with (will + verb) after the part of if+ verb.  
If the part including with will+verb is at the beginning of the sentence, we don’t need to use comma. However, if the part  including if+ verb comes first in the sentence, we have to use comma after the first part of the sentence.
Forex; if we take our sister with us, she will be very happy.
I will pay you back if you borrow 5 $ from you.
If they will tell us what they want, we won’t refuse their request.
Also we use the first conditional in question sentences.  When we use it with questions, we should use will/won’t  at the beginning of the sentence. The second part of the sentence including if+ verb/ if+don’t+verb comes after the part which includes will+ subject+ verb.
Forex:
Won’t they invite us to their party if we tell them that we like to go?
Will she wake up early if we call her in the morning?
Will you go to the Cheese Cake Factory if you go to U.S.A?
Futhermore, we use first conditional when we mention negative possibilities that can happen now or in the future.
For negative sentences, the first part including the word “if” is used with negative version of the present tense.  ( if+ subject+don’t+ verb). The second part can be used with will+ verb or won’t+ verb after using subject of the sentence.
Forex: She won’t hear the bad news if we don’t tell her.
If the people in the world keep the environment clean, they won’t suffer from natural disasters for a long time.
