The first conditional is used for realistic situations that will take place in
the future. The first conditional is also called the "real" conditional.
PATTERN: If + present simple + (then clause) future with "will.“
NOTE: The two clauses can be switched: (then clause) future with "will" +
if + present simple.
PUNCTUATION: A comma should be used when beginning the first
conditional with the "If" clause.
