If - Using the First Conditional

Average: 4.1 (22 votes)

"If it is sunny, we will go camping."

The first conditional...

  • Talks about future events that are likely to happen.
  • Is formed by using If + present simple + will/going to/modal verb + verb.
  • Can start with the 'if' clause or the 'future' clause.
  • Can be made negative by using 'won't'.

Here's some examples of the first conditional, but only half of the sentences are correct. Can you decide which half, A or B, makes a correct first conditional sentence? Good luck!

where we use have and has

i want to know where we can use have and where we use has... coz according to grammar “have” is used with “I”, “you”, “they” and “has” is used with “it”, “she”, and “he”. I think that’s not a problem. If my guess is correct, the countable and uncountable nouns sometimes can create lots of confusions as to whether to use singular (has) or plural (have). so i want to know what we can use with below listed words:-

everybody
company
childrens
family
police
people

dear questioner

I try to help you.

everybody --- she/he therefore we have to use 'has'
company --- it means ONE. because Companies - more than one. In this case 'company' is one and we use 'has'
childrens - it's incorrect word. COrrect is 'children' withOUT 'S'.
Despite the fact that 'children' must write withOUT 'S' this word always means plural. (Note:singular - 'child' )

family is singular because we can say 'families'
police is plural.
people is plural. A person is singular.

If we have more questions, please ask me =) and I try to help you again.
