Please post at least three examples of the first conditional, and and please provide an explanation.

Is that a first conditional?

Hmmm. Leave it to you to ask a question I can't answer. I am used to zero conditionals beginning with "if" or "when". My instinct is to say no to an "after" sentence, but I can't find a good reason. It is not much different from "when". :?
RonBee said:Teachers, how about some more first conditional sentences? (I am not sure I will remember it yet.) About a hundred will do. :wink:
First conditional?
- If Ron asks a question he will get an answer.
