First conditional sentences
Certain grammar websites describe type 1 conditional sentences as the ones in which the time is the present or future and the situation is real.
Examples given are:
If I have time, I'll finish that letter.
What will you do if you miss the plane?
Nobody will notice if you make a mistake.
If you drop that glass, it will break.
If you don't drop the gun, I'll shoot!
If you don't leave, I'll call the police.
I wish to ask "In what circumstances the above sentence examples can refer to present time as defined above since they all appear to be referring to the future"?
Solution 1:
In type 1 conditional sentences
- The tense in 'if' clause is always simple present.
- The tense in the main clause is simple future.
So all your given examples are correct and according to the definition.
