CONDITIONALS
The First (1st) Conditional
 We use the first conditional to talk about possible
situations in the future and their results.
 E.G. If you break a mirror, you will have bad luck.
Form of First Conditional
(Yapısı)
 A first conditional sentence has two parts:
 The if clause describes the action.
We usually use if + present simple verb (V1).
e.g. If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.
 The main clause gives the possible result, what will or may
happen.
We use will / won’t + V1.
e.g. If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.
