语法 Grammar in use
第1类条件句
假如我们认为将来的事件是可能发生的，就可用第1类条件句去描述将会发生什么事或不会发生什么事。
其基本结构是：If +一般现在时+将来时（或情态助动词），如：
If it rains tomorrow, we won't go to the seaside.
假如明天下雨，我们就不去海边。
if从句中的现在时表示需具备的条件，主句中的shall/will将来时表示可能的结果。具备的条件是真实的，可能真的下雨。
假如是这样，它就会有真实的结果。这就是为什么这样的陈述句常被称为“开放”条件句或“真实”条件句的原因。事实上，在第1类条件句中，一切现在时态都能用在if之后，而不仅仅是一般现在时。请看例句：
If he falls ,he'll hurt himself.
假如他摔倒了，他会伤着自己的。
If you don't hurry ,we'll miss the train.
你要是不赶紧点儿，我们就会误了火车。
If you feel better, you can get up.
你要是感觉好些了的话，你就能起床了。
If I am better tomorrow, I will get up.
假如我明天感觉好些了，我就起床下地。
If I have a headache, I will take an aspirin.
我要是头疼的话就会服用一片阿司匹林。
If I can afford it, I will buy it.
要是我买得起的话我就会买它。
