Talk about what will happen if something does.
In Hindi
भविष्य की असली संभावना।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
If it will rain, we will stay. | If it rains, we will stay. The "if" half stays in the present. |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.
If you are tired, rest.
अगर तुम थके हो तो आराम करो।
also correct: If you are tired, take a rest.
If you are hungry, eat something.
अगर तुम्हें भूख लगी है तो कुछ खाओ।
If you need help, tell me.
अगर तुम्हें मदद चाहिए तो मुझे बताओ।
If it rains, I will stay at home.
अगर बारिश हुई तो मैं घर पर रहूँगा।
If you come, we will eat together.
अगर तुम आओगे तो हम साथ खाएँगे।
If I get time, I will call you.
अगर मुझे समय मिला तो मैं तुम्हें फोन करूँगा।
If the shop is open, I will buy milk.
अगर दुकान खुली है तो मैं दूध खरीदूँगा।
If the bus does not come, we will walk.
अगर बस नहीं आई तो हम पैदल जाएँगे।
If he comes, I will talk to him.
अगर वह आएगा तो मैं उससे बात करूँगा।
If you are ready, we can go.
अगर तुम तैयार हो तो हम चल सकते हैं।
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
First conditional is a CEFR A2 structure — the everyday band — and it belongs to conditionals & wishes. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
