First Conditional Sentences

IF + present simple + Will or may/might

We use the first conditional to talk about something that will happen
(the result), if a particular condition (which is likely to happen)
is met.

When we use will in the result clause of the first conditional, we


are certain that something will happen. It is definite. But we can use
may or might instead of will. This means that the consequence
is possible, but not definite.

Let's take this first conditional quiz:

1. If Tom passes his exams, his father...
