• ... can correctly use the first conditional in a sentence.
  
• ... can determine when to use when/if.

First conditional

• What is a "condition"?
  > You can come on one condition, and that is that you do your homework.
  
• Also called: "if"-sentences:
  > If Kate gives me some help, I'll finish my homework in an hour.
  
• Two clauses:
  the if-clause = condition
  the result-clause = consequence/result
  
• A comma after the "if"-sentence (only if it comes first!)

First conditional

= used to talk about things we think are possible in the future.

= "if" + present simple + will/won't + verb

> He will feel better if he stops smoking.
> If I'm gone, will she stay?

First conditional

If you finish / you'll finish work before five, Olga takes / will take you home in her car.

If / buy / win / I / the lottery / a car

Write a first conditional sentence, by adding "will (not)" in the correct place!

If / not / don't / we / hurry / in time / we / get there

When or If?
