The Picture of Dorian Gray - Reminder!

Hello, everyone! Remember that tomorrow we'll be discussing chapters 6, 7, and 8 from the book!

Talking about possible future situations: first conditional

We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, it is morning. You are at home. You plan to play tennis this afternoon. But there are some clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do? Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky is cloudy and you think that it could rain. 

IF	condition	result
	present simple	WILL + base verb
If	it rains	I will stay at home.
