Conditional Types 1

TYPE 1 : TRUE IN THE PRESENT OR FUTURE


Type 1 is used to describe what will happen if we think a future event probable. The most commonly used form is:

If+Simple Present ,WILL Future


Truth =); It may rain . If so , we will eat inside.
Conditional Sentence =); If it rains we will eat inside.


Truth =); The cat might die . In that case , Arda will be upset.
Conditional Sentence =); If the cat dies , Arda will be upset.


Truth =); It is possible that Steve will enter the competition. And if he does, I am sure he will win.
Conditional Sentence =); If Steve enters the competition, he will win.


Truth =); Why don`t you ask for a pay rise ? You`ll probably get one.
Conditional Sentence =); If you ask for a pay rise , you will probably get one.


Truth =); The office may be closed . In that case , we won`t be able to get in.
Conditional Sentence =); If the office is closed we won`t be able to get in.


Truth =); The picture may be valuable . If so , we can sell it.
Conditional Sentence =); If the pic is valuable , we can sell it.


Truth =); It is probable that Muhammed won`t come . In that case , the party will be cancelled.
Conditional Sentence =); If Muhammed doesn`t come , the part will be cancelled.


If the action in the if-clause is related to the future , we use Simple Present tense instead of future Tense:


Truth =); Perhaps she will come tomorrow. Then we will work together.
Conditional Sentence =); If she comes tomorrow, we will work together. (NOT: If she will come ... )


Truth =); Perhaps it won`t rain at the weekend . Then we will go on a picnic.

Truth =); Perhaps there will be another rise in prices soon. Then everybody will surfer a lot.
Conditional Sentence =); If there is another rise in prices soon, everybody will suffer a lot. (NOT: If there will)
