The First Conditional in English grammar is used to talk about real and possible situations in the future. It is formed with “if” followed by the present simple tense, and the future simple tense with “will.” For example, “If it rains, we will stay at home.” This structure helps us to express possible future events and their consequences. By practicing the First Conditional, students can improve their ability to communicate effectively in various situations, make predictions, and discuss potential outcomes. In the following exercises, you will find fill-in-the-blank sentences to test your knowledge of the First Conditional. Remember to use the appropriate present simple tense after “if” and future simple tense with “will” for the correct answer.
