EG ONE 10TH ENTRY
First conditional "if"
Hello, guys!
Today i decided to conclude my posting with a topic that i found very interesting, i did a reasearch on it. i found a webpage with information that helped me to understand how to use the first conditional "if". Because of it i could understand that we use "if" when we want to express the consequence of an action, in other words, is to describe "something which will or may happen in the future as a result of something else".
e.g.
If it rains tomorrow, I’ll stay at home.
As you could see on the latter, the the bolded part of the sentence is describing that what is going to happen in the case that the weather is rainy tomorrow.
Here are some aspects that you must take into account when you use the first conditional.
You always got to remember that you don't have to use will or might directly after will or might in because in cases such as the following, the sentence would be wrong.e.g
Also that you always use an infinitive verb after will and might.
In addition, remember that if we put the main clause first, it's unnecessary to use a comma.
E.g
I will be sad if my football team loses the match.
Well, that's all i leave the links below where you can find the information and also some exercises, so you can practice what you have understood.

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, fella. I always get confused with the different types of conditional but with your post that doubt is clarified... at least with the first conditional. It had helped me to refresh that knowledge, again, thanks a lot!
I have a question, can the first conditional be used in questions?
Whassup Diego 😃
ReplyDeleteI had understood that we use the first conditional only for future, but in the webpage you post it says that is a structure we use when we want to talk about possibilities in the present or in the future, is not usually for me use this structure, so, I will be checking the web pages that you have put, I like them, they are very useful.
I only have a question, how many “conditionals” exists? 😯
Hello Diego!!
ReplyDeletethanks for posting about if conditional, I really liked it because it has helped me to reinforce my knowledge about that topic and also to continuing practice, because to don´t forget things it is important to practice frequently, also your post helped me to remind that when we use the “if “ conditional at the beginning of a sentence it is necessary to write a comma after the if clause, but if we start the sentence with a main clause, the comma it is not used.i just have a question, is there another conditional that let me express almost the same idea than “if conditional”?
thank you!!
Hello Diego!!
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you as you know it`s my first time in your blog, I really like your blog is very interesting and useful I really like the way that you can explain the topics, in this time I learned about conditionall if is a structure we use when we want to talk about possibilities in the present or in the future, your resources have helped me to improve my knowlegde but anyway I have a doubt, Could you explain, how to make conditional questions?
Thanks good job Diego!
Hello Diego,
ReplyDeleteWow! your post is really nice! I liked all the information.
Actually I didn`t know that we can use migh intead of will in the first condicional.
Now I will be able to create conditional sentences using different grammar structures.
But I just have a little doubt, are there more words like "will and "might" that we can use in the first conditional?
Hi Diego! It was very interesting the topic you selected to share with us. I enjoyed reading the information you posted. The first conditional is very common to use because we express a condition in the present that will affect the future. Conditionals is a big topic actually there are 4 types of conditionals as far as I know. I have a question for you. If we invert the order of the clauses, is there any difference in meaning? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello Diego, first of all I liked your entry 😂, it’s very funny to read you. The first conditional isn’t a very common topic, perphaps, we use it daily. You motivated me to keep searching extra information about it. Thank you Diego, take care 💕
