FUNCTION
The type
1 conditional refers to a possible condition and its probable result. These
sentences are based on facts, and they are used to make statements about the
real world, and about particular situations. We often use such sentences to
give warnings. In type 1 conditional sentences, the time is the present or
future and the situation is real.
EXAMPLES
- If I have time, I'll finish
that letter.
- What will you do if you miss
the plane?
- Nobody will notice if you
make a mistake.
- If you drop that glass, it
will break.
- If you don't drop the gun,
I'll shoot!
- If you don't leave, I'll
call the police.
In type 1
conditional sentences, you can also use modals in the main clause instead of
the future tense to express the degree of certainty, permission, or a
recommendation about the outcome.
EXAMPLES
- If
you drop that glass, it might break.
- I
may finish that letter if I have time.
- If
he calls you, you should go.
- If
you buy my school supplies for me, I will be able to go to the park.
