First conditionals?

First conditionals, also known as Type 1 conditionals, are used to talk about possible future events or situations that are likely to happen. They are formed by using the present simple tense in the if-clause and the future simple tense (will + base form of the verb) in the main clause.

For example:
- If it rains, I will bring an umbrella.
- If you study hard, you will pass the exam.

First conditionals are used to express a cause and effect relationship between the if-clause and the main clause. They are often used to make predictions, give warnings, or talk about future plans.
