3. First Conditional
First Conditional
Real e possivel no futuro
IF clause
If + Present Simple
Main clause
will + infinitive
  • Situacao real e provavel no futuro
  • Promessas, ameacas, avisos, negociacoes
  • Planos condicionais - depende de algo acontecer
  • A ordem das clausulas pode ser invertida (sem virgula quando main clause vem primeiro)
"If it rains tomorrow, I will stay home."
Situacao provavel no futuro.
"If you study hard, you will pass the exam."
Promessa/aviso - resultado esperado.
"I will help you if you ask me."
Ordem invertida - sem virgula.
NUNCA use "will" na clausula IF
  • ERRADO: "If it WILL rain tomorrow, I will stay home."
  • CORRETO: "If it RAINS tomorrow, I will stay home."
  • Excecao educada: "If you WILL wait here, I'll get your order." - aqui "will" = disposicao (willingness), nao futuro.
Variacoes da main clause no First Conditional
  • "If she calls, I CAN help her." (capacidade)
  • "If she calls, I MIGHT help her." (possibilidade menor)
  • "If she calls, TELL her I am busy." (imperativo - instrucao)
  • "If she calls, I MAY be available." (possibilidade formal)
