What is the first conditional in English grammar?

Can you explain what the first conditional is in English?

Sure! The first conditional is used to talk about real and possible situations in the future. It typically follows the structure: 'If + present simple, will + base verb.'

Can you give me an example of a first conditional sentence?

Of course! An example would be: 'If it rains tomorrow, I will stay home.' This shows a possible future situation.

Are there any other ways to use the first conditional?

Yes! You can also use it to make promises or predictions, like: 'If you study hard, you will pass the exam.'

What about negative forms? How do they work?

In negative forms, you would say: 'If it doesn't rain, I will go for a walk.' The structure remains the same, just add 'not'.
