Grammar Task 6: If-clauses (Type 1)

The sentences in this cartoon are good examples of IF-CLAUSES (Type 1). 

If +    Present Simple (Cause), Future (Consequence)

If I do my homework, I will get good grades.

If I get good grades, you will send me to college.

If I go to college I will graduate and get a job.

PAY ATTENTION: The if-clauses are all in the 1st person singular affirmative. Don't forget:

          Present Simple (affirmative): he/she/it     -   VERB + S or ES

          Present Simple (negative):    I/we/you/they - don't + INFINITIVE 

                                                     he/she/it     -   doesn't + INFINITIVE

          Future (negative):                 will not (won't) + INFINITIVE
