    The document discusses the form and use of the first conditional. It notes that the first conditional is used to talk about possible or real events in the future. The conditional clause uses the present simple tense, while the main clause can use will + infinitive, may/can/must + infinitive, or the imperative. Examples are provided like "If I see Peter, I'll tell him about the news" and "If you phone them, they can take you to the station." The document also discusses using "unless" meaning "if...not" and the structure "should + subject + verb" without using "if" in the conditional clause, as in "Should you need help, call me."
