First Conditional

Sam An Teng

Form

• If + present simple, sub + would + verb 1 (verb present)

Note:
- If + past simple = i.e. future possibility
- subject + would +  verb 1 = i.e. likely result

- You can use some modals like can, may, might, and should instead of will.


Usage

We use first conditional to talk about future possibility (condition) and its probable result.

For examples, 

• If you work hard, you will pass the exam. 
• If I meet him, I will tell him. 
• If you don’t listen carefully, you won’t be able to do your assignment. 
• If you travel by plane, you will spend more money. 

ការប្រើៈ យើងប្រើ First conditional ដើម្បីបង្ហាញលទ្ធផលដែលអាចកើតឡើង នៅពេល បច្ចុប្បន្ន ឬអនាគត នៅពេលលក្ខខណ្ឌមួយកើតឡើង។  ប៉ុន្តែត្រូវចំណាំថា លទ្ធផល នោះ មិនប្រាកដថា នឹងកើតឡើង ១០០% ឡើយ។
