1. What is the First Conditional?

2. Structure
\n
| Part | Tense / Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Condition (If clause) | Present Simple | If you practice every day |
| Result (Main clause) | Will / Can / May + base verb | you will become a good player |
| Full sentence | If + Present Simple, + will + V | If you practice every day, you will become a good player. |
\n\n
Important: The order can be reversed. When the if-clause comes first, we use a comma. When the main clause comes first, there is no comma.
