The first conditional is used to discuss things that will probably happen in the future as the result of something else that happens in the present.
The first conditional consists of two clauses, one with If + simple present verb and the second with simple future verb, as in, "If you do something bad, something bad will happen to you."
We can also use the first conditional to make predictions about the future. For example, we can predict that "If my brother crashes the car tonight, my mother will be furious."
We use the First Conditional to talk about future events that are likely to happen.
If we take John, he'll be really pleased.
If you give me some money, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
If they tell us they want it, we'll have to give it to them.
If Mary comes, she'll want to drive.
The 'if' clause can be used with different present forms.
If I go to New York again, I'll buy you a souvenir from the Empire State Building.
If he's feeling better, he'll come.
If she hasn't heard the bad news yet, I'll tell her.
The "future clause" can contain 'going to' or the future perfect as well as 'will'.
If I see him, I'm going to tell him exactly how angry I am.
If we don't get the contract, we'll have wasted a lot of time and money.
The "future clause" can also contain other modal verbs such as 'can' and 'must'.
If you go to New York, you must have the cheesecake in Lindy's.
If he comes, you can get a lift home with him.
Second conditional
We use the second conditinal to talk about situations in the present or future which are imaginary, hypothetical, not likely, or impossible.
The second conditional is formed by if (subject) + the past tense, (subject) + would + the base form of the verb
If I had a million dollars I would travel all around the world.
If I saw Brat Pitt in the street I would faint (desmayarse)
I wouldn't call him if I were you.
Note:
When you use second conditional you can put the to be verb (were) with the Pronoun I
If I WERE you I would take a vacation
If I saw Brat Pitt in the street I would faint (desmayarse)
I wouldn't call him if I were you.
