B-Conditional type1: Probable: Simple Present-Simple Future
A conditional is used to talk about
a possible or imaginary situation (the condition) and
the consequences(or the result) of it.
The first conditional - meaning
We use the first conditional to talk about something
that will happen (the result), if a
particular condition (which is likely to happen) is met.
Because the manager is asking Tim to work in the
stockroom, it'slikely that Tim will do it and that's why we
use the first conditionalhere.
In order to get an interview, Tim has to work in the
stockroom.
If you do this for me, you'll have a chance of promotion.
If Tim works in the stock room, he will get an interview.
If Tim doesn't work in the stock room, he won't get an
interview.
So, the meaning is that if the condition is met (and it's
more than 50% likely to happen) then the result will
happen.

4. 4
The first conditional - form
The first conditional is made up of the condition (the 'if'
part of the sentence) and the consequence or the result.
If + present simple, will + base verb
If Tim works in the stockroom, he will get an interview.
If you do this for me, you'll have a chance of promotion.
The first conditional - Modal verbs will, may and might:
When we use will in the result clause of the first
conditional, we are certain that something will happen. It
is definite. But we can use may ormight instead of will.
This means that the consequence is not certain. It is
possible, but not definite.
I'm not feeling very well. If it rains tomorrow, I'll stay at
home.
I'm feeling fine and I've got a car. If it rains tomorrow,
I might stay at home, or I may go shopping. I'll decide
tomorrow.
Note: In the first conditional, there is no difference in
meaningbetween may and might.
The first conditional - If and if not:
In conditional sentences, you don't always use 'if' or 'if
not'. You can use 'provided that' or 'so long as' instead of
'if'.
For example:
If you put down the gun, I won't call the police. =
So long as you put down the gun, I won't call the police. =
Provided thatyou put down the gun I won't call the police.
=
(Provided that is more formal than if. )
You can use 'unless' instead of 'if not'.
