This document discusses the first conditional, which is used to talk about possible future situations and their consequences. It notes that the first conditional uses the present simple in the if-clause and the future simple in the main clause. Examples are provided to illustrate how the first conditional can be used to make predictions, promises, threats, and warnings. The document also provides notes on punctuation when the if-clause comes first or second in a sentence, and that the future simple can be replaced by a modal verb.
