We use the 1st Conditional to talk about things that are likely to occur in the future.
Here is the grammatical structure:
We often contract the SUBJECT + WILL. It looks like this:
I will = I’ll
You will = You’ll
He will = He’ll
She will = She’ll
It will = It’ll
We will = We’ll
They will = They’ll
We can use other words in place of ‘if’. Some words that we can use instead are:
when
while
before
after
as soon as
