This document provides information on the first conditional, which uses the present simple in the if-clause and the future simple in the main clause. It is used to talk about likely future situations and their consequences, and can be used to make predictions, promises, threats, and warnings. The if-clause can come before or after the main clause, and a comma is used to separate them if the if-clause comes first. The future simple can also be replaced with a modal verb in the main clause.
